"Quantum leap".
Doesn't this mean, moving from one location in space to another, without ever occupying the interval of space dividing two (or more) different points?
Such an event seems to transcend 'propagation' altogether.
Without so far finding it, Nobody, I've been looking for a discussion on the 'quantum leap' on Google and elsewhere; finding any number of dissertations on quantum mechanics, but none that
specifically address the paradox of the quantum leap, as I understand it.
Might you know of an url - or a discussion - that specifically talks about this?
Hey Nobody, I'm back with an editorial addition to say I will start a thread asking just exactly what is a quantum leap, anyway - words to that effect. Hope you join me. Best regards, - RP
