Modern Quantum Mechanics is a classic graduate level textbook, covering the main concepts from quantum mechanics in a clear, organized and engaging manner. The original author, J. J. Sakurai, was a ...

ABSTRACT: We propose a novel extension of quantum field theory by introducing Intrinsic Quantum Oscillators (IQuO) to describe the internal degrees of freedom of a particle. IQuO is composed of ...

A century ago, physics had its Darwinian moment — a change in perspective that was as consequential for the physical sciences ...

The publication of Werner Heisenberg’s article was arguably the moment that ushered in the modern age of quantum mechanics, thus setting in train an astonishing revolution in our basic ...

"This feels like we have our finger right on the knob of quantum mechanics," Feldman said. "It's an aspect of quantum mechanics that we didn't know about or, at least, we didn't appreciate before ...

Did these researchers truly just crack our fundamental concepts of (quantum) physics wide open? As it turns out, not really. Much of the confusion stems from the fact that photons aren’t little ...

Students learning quantum mechanics are taught the Schrodinger equation and how to solve it to obtain a wave function. But a crucial step is skipped because it has puzzled scientists since the ...

The intricate relationship between quantum mechanics and classical physics has long puzzled scientists. Quantum mechanics ...

At least, that is what’s going on if you happen to subscribe to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory. First proposed more than 65 years ago, the idea is that reality is constantly ...

Modern Love is a weekly column, a book, a podcast and a television show about relationships, feelings, betrayals and revelations. Modern Love is a weekly column, a book, a podcast and a television ...

a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the ...

That's because the unusual properties of quantum mechanics mean that simulating these systems on a classical computer quickly becomes intractable as they get larger, said Simon Benjamin ...
