Are quanta particles or waves? Written by: Christoph Adami Primary Source:  Spherical Harmonics Are quanta particles or waves? The title of this post is an age-old question isn’t it?

Amplitudes and statistics When re-reading Feynman’s ‘explanation’ of Bose-Einstein versus Fermi-Dirac statistics (Lectures, Vol. III, Chapter 4), and my own March 2014 post summarizing his argument, I suddenly felt his approach raises as many questions as it answers. So I thought it would be good to re-visit it, which...

Now Playing Tracks If Apple were a worker it would have paid the federal government $36 billion in taxes. Instead of paying taxes, Apple has taxes that are deferred for as long as it chooses. In total, I estimate from corporate disclosure documents, American multinational companies have $2 trillion of untaxed profit...

Famously, Schrödinger's cat is found to be both dead and alive within a closed system - at the mercy of quantum mechanics. But why is the cat "both dead and alive"? For the Copenhagen interpretation, according to Heisenberg "the wave-function represents a probability, but not an objective reality itself in space and ti...

MATSLISE is a graphical MATLAB software package for the interactive numerical study of regular Sturm-Liouville problems, one-dimensional Schrödinger equations, and radial Schrödinger equations with a distorted Coulomb potential. It allows the fast and accurate computation of the eigenvalues and the visualization of the...

Quantum communication: making two from one In the future, quantum physics could become the guarantor of secure information technology. To achieve this, individual particles of light—photons—are used for secure transmission of data. Findings by physicists from ... Graphene tunnelling junctions: beyond the breaking poi...

Friday, March 29, 2019 Proving the Periodic Table The year 2019 is the International Year of the Periodic Table celebrating the 150th anniversary of Mendeleev's discovery. This prompts me to report on something that I learned in recent years when co-teaching "Mathematical Quantum Mechanics" with mathematicians in par...

Single qubit NMR based quantum computation In the previous post, we have sketched the basic ideas behind NMR based quantum computation. In this post, we will discuss single qubits and single qubit operations in more depth. The rotating frame of reference In NMR based quantum computing, quantum gates are realized by ...

Download Edit this record How to cite View on PhilPapers A principle, according to which any scientific theory can be mathematized, is investigated. Social science, liberal arts, history, and philosophy are meant first of all. That kind of theory is presupposed to be a consistent text, which can be exhaustedly repres...

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Modal Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics First published Tue Nov 12, 2002; substantive revision Thu Dec 6, 2007 The original ‘modal interpretation’ of quantum theory was born in the early 1970s, and at that time the phrase referred to a single interpretation, due to van Fraassen...

Is bonding specifically for and between electrons? Why cant two atoms share muons, which are different particles of same charge, spin and different mass? Why there aren't muon-electron bonds? Why is the octet (or eighteen valence electron) rule only for electrons, and not for all particles with similar charge and spi...
