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 ...

D-Wave Quantum and Nvidia are delivering vastly different offerings to the AI sector. D-Wave's quantum computers can quickly complete complex calculations that would take centuries on a supercomputer.

In the first half of the semester, we will discuss philosophical problems of classical mechanics and classical field theories: the persistence of matter, modality, the representation of mechanical ...

In 1931, Harvey Elliott White developed a device that traced out the shapes of electron clouds by approximating solutions to ...

Exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation have long provided fundamental insights into quantum mechanics by furnishing explicit analytical expressions for wave functions and energy spectra. These ...

Using just a few equations, scientists can describe the motion of a ball flying through the air and the pull of a magnet, and forecast eclipses of the moon. The mathematical study of the motion of ...

Quantum mechanics, or quantum physics, is the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of photons, electrons and the other subatomic particles that make up the universe. When you ...
