Aiming to make sense of the wave function in quantum mechanics and to find the ontological content of the theory, this book explores new ontological interpretations of the wave function in terms of ...

This week marks the centenary of the French physicist Louis de Broglie's doctoral thesis, which later earned him a Nobel ...

Focusing on the probabilistic structure of quantum mechanics and the central role of symmetries to unify principles, this textbook guides readers through the logical development of the theory.

including superoscillations (the physics and mathematics of functions varying faster than their fastest Fourier components), tidal bores such as the Severn bore (where a characteristic form of wave ...

By applying this theory to successive measurements on a single system it was shown that a single wave function cannot be measured. This finding also denies any ontological meaning of the quantum wave ...

Patterns in chaos have been proven, in the incredibly tiny quantum realm, by an international team co-led by UC Santa Cruz ...

IN a very interesting letter published in NATURE of Sept. 22, p. 439, Gurney and Condon have used wave mechanics to give a qualitative explanation of many features of natural α-ray disintegration.

So which is it - a particle or a wave? Scientists interpret quantum mechanics to mean that ... For example, there is a theory by Werner Heisenberg called the Uncertainty Principle.

Avi Loeb explores how experimental quantum gravity may one day help to connect the dots between quantum mechanics and general ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball ...
