#13: Would You Be Happy in Heaven? #12: The Stoic Formula for a Good Life Take a look at the following formula: It is not the formula for having a happy and meaningful life; it is instead the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. It describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes over time...

Quantum mechanics offers numerous mysteries to ponder for laypeople and physicists alike, but none of these mysteries is more popular among the general public as the famous Schrödinger’s cat experiment. Conceived by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, the thought experiment used a hypothetical feline to illus...

Dismiss Notice Join Physics Forums Today! Photon / Schrödinger equation 1. Jan 1, 2008 #1 Neither in Sam Treiman's odd quantum nor in van Dommelen's nice online book I was able to find the Schrödinger equation for a photon, i.e. a particle without rest mass. The Schrödinger equation straight from Treiman's book...

Take the 2-minute tour × I've already posted this question on Physics.SE, but I thougth it could be useful to ask also here. No problem if moderators will ask me to cancel this thread... But, please, have mercy! :-D Let $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$ be a domain and let $V,m:\Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ be two measurable...

Take the 2-minute tour × For a report I'm writing on Quantum Computing, I'm interested in understanding a little about this famous equation. I'm an undergraduate student of math, so I can bear some formalism in the explanation. However I'm not so stupid to think I can understand this landmark without some years of phy...

Take the 2-minute tour × I read about Fractional Quantum Mechanics and it seemed interesting. But are there any justifications for this concept, such as some connection to reality, or other physical motivations, apart from the pure mathematical insight? If there are none, why did anyone even bother to invent it? sha...

Sign up × Supppose we are given a quantum state that isn't pure state, such that it is a linear combination of the eigenstates of a Hermitian operator $\hat O$. $$|\psi\rangle=N\sum \alpha_i |i\rangle$$ where $N$ is just a normalization constant. I just want to make something clear about measuring. If we measure the c...
