On the Need of Imaginary Numbers (i) in Quantum Mechanics

Authors: Leonardo Rubino

The need we have (with the Schrodinger’s Equation) of running into the imaginary unit (i) is a simple way the nature uses to inform us that a particle, with its wave function Ψ, is half a reality and there exists a complex conjugate (-i) wave function (antiparticle) Ψ* that, together with Ψ, leads us, as to say, to a real "trigonometric" wave (with real values).
