You don’t even have to go into quantum mechanics. I vaguely recall using a real/imaginary plane with a rotating vector to do something about electricity in first year engineering?
Don’t worry I’m not actually an electrical engineer.
But my point is that there are applications for imaginary numbers with very practical engineering applications. Foundational, even.

Electrical math is full of complex numbers.
It’s a usefull technique to model the symmetry between magnetic and electrical power.
