• TITLE: The Theoretical Significance and Reality of Imaginary Number

  AUTHORS: Wenbing Wu, Xiaojian Yuan

  KEYWORDS: Imaginary Number, Euler’s Formula, Phase, Quantum Mechanics

  ABSTRACT: It is a fact that imaginary numbers do not have practical significance. But the role of imaginary numbers is very broad and enormous, due to the existence of Euler’s formula. Due to Euler’s formula, imaginary numbers have been applied in many theoretical theories. One of the biggest functions of imaginary numbers is to represent changes in phase, which is indispensable in signal analysis theory. The imaginary numbers in quantum mechanics pose a greater mystery: do the imaginary numbers really exist? This question still needs further scientific development to be answered.
