Well... he’s certainly buzz-word compliant. Do i have the math for it? No. Conceptually, i see where he’s going (as an intellectual exercise).

Could it have had a more lucid explanation? Probably (lots of hand waving going on).

Could i have done better? Doubtful.

I saw, I'll try to explain, the basis is the concept of wave particle duality, the idea actually began with what is termed the Bohr atom, which was the last classical description to ne able to accurately describe the spectroscopic lines of hydrogen. Once one starts dealing with molecular orbitals, that needs quantum group theory, which tends to make the matter quite difficult, unless one knows exactly what one is doing. Essentially, however, the problem is normally best illustrated as follows: all objects have an associated de Broglie wavelength. Which one can in fact see, as a matter wave, in particles that are supercooled to near absolute zero. If one takes a marble and places it in a cardboard box, one can hear it rattling around, so one knows that it's inside, however, that is a total misconception. If one places a marble in a cardboard box, there is a fpsmall, yet finite and quite real probability that the marble is not in the box, even though one can hear it rattling around. There are quite good reasons why that's take too long to explain here, however the thijkfer the cardboard, the more kinetif energy needed to break through the walls by themmarble, decreasing the probability that the particle is outside the box. Therein lies the dichotomy, one can hear the marble without seeing it, one knows it''s in there, however, that doesn't negate the reality that that there's a probability that it's not, however crazy that sounds. When an electron orbits a nucleusz it doesn't do so as a solid object, that's also a misconception, it does so as a wave, where the square of the absolutely magnitude of the wave, taken over a given volume, is the actual probability, or proportional to it, of finding the electron in that volume. That is the essence of the Schrödinger equation, as also realized by Dirac, Einstein, Madame Curie, and that lunatic German war criminal Heisenberg. What Heisenberg, that flawed genius found, was that the oosition and momementum are bounded for an object, related by Planck's constant. The same is true of angular position and angular momentum, or period versus frequency in a signal. To understand the Heisenberg uncertainty principle needs de Broglie wavelength. However, solid matter is governed by statistical thermodynamics, specificappyz the zfe Maxwell Boltzmann, Fermi Dirac, and abode Einstein probability densities and/or distributions of various coassesmof fundamental particles, which is the basis for both magnetism and superconductivity, statistical thermodynamics, incl what is termed the BBGKY hieracprchy. Is the hardest topic in physics, not cosmology, not quantum mechanics. The Kore recent topics of quantum entanglement needed to understand quantum computing ate based on Hamiltonian and Lagrangian operator theory, if you want !e to explain that, I can, however, that gets quire deep, look up the Dirac and Pauli spin matrices, IPP try to send more about the whole subject later on, it was a good piece, however, as you've likely gleaned by now, I deal in specifics, jot generalities, to understand semiconductors and quantum tunneling, one needs to understand what I described here, I'll explain more when I have some more time, OK?

A field way out of my league.
