I still have no idea :)

Wikipedia on Quantum Physics is usually pretty atrocious, and this page is no exception. It reads like... well, nerds showing off knowledge. (There's nothing wrong with that, but unless you're already pretty steeped in things quantum, the page is jargon without meaning)

Indeed. Wikipedia on math in general is useless unless you already understand it.

It's probably not something I should advertise, but a lot of my maths I learned from Wikipedia.

I view it as a reference mainly. It's usually not very helpful for learning, unless the subject is trivial.
