Here's one of the quirky things about quantum mechanics: just because an electron or a photon can be thought of as a particle, doesn't mean they can't still be though of as a wave as well.

The study seeks to explain the presence of dark matter using a WED model. The scientists studied fermion masses, which they ...

Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions ...

Scientists at CERN's ALICE detector are replicating conditions found during the Big Bang, attempting to get to the bottom of ...

Linköping University's experiment confirms a key theoretical link between quantum mechanics and information theory, ...

Entanglement is perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of quantum mechanics. On its surface, entanglement allows particles ...

Physicists uncovered a fascinating link between the Large Hadron Collider and quantum computing. They found that top quarks produced at the LHC exhibit a property called "magic," essential for quantum ...

Consider Example 4.D.3 from the lecture book. Here, a disk of mass is tied to a rubber band, with the opposite end of the rubber ban being tied to a peg at A. The disk is set into motion at the ...

The orbital angular momentum operator is defined and its commutation relations with the position and momentum operators, and generally with vector operators, are obtained; the relationship between the ...

String theory remains elusive as a “provable” phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a significant step forward ...
