Why does quantum mechanics have such infuriating math?

Anyone who has ever tried to make sense of quantum mechanics has inevitably had to hack their way through a dense forest of incredibly complex formulas and transformations — and finding a clear path through it is no easy task. And almost everyone, at some point, has asked the question: why is it all so complicated? Can’t it be made simpler? Unfortunately, it can’t. And in our video, we’ll take a look at how the very nature of the objects studied by quantum mechanics dooms us to a full-blown mathematical nightmare.
