Quantum Mechanics

According to Wikipedia, there's an infinite set of possible wavefunctions (orbitals) for the hydrogen atom: $$\psi_{n\ell m}(r,\theta,\phi) = \sqrt {{\left ( \frac{2}{n a_0} \right )}^3\frac{(n-\e...

THE QUANTUM SOURCE OF SPACE TIME Background. We recently published a news story on how quantum entanglement can be used to bridge the theoretical gap between quantum mechanics and general relativity,...

Quantum mechanics can be challenging to comprehend due to its foundation on postulates about wave functions that are hard to relate to. Furthermore, quantum particles do not adhere to classical laws, making it challenging to predict their behavior.

'Quantum mechanics for real. This is the good stuff, the most mysterious aspects of how reality works, set out with crystalline clarity. The place to start' Sean Carroll, physicist, California Institute of Technology, author of The Particle at the End of the Universe This is the ultimate practical introduction to quantum mechanics. World-renowned physicist Leonard Susskind and data engineer Art Friedman give you the basic skills you need to tackle this famously difficult topic yourself…

We identify an experimental method which could finally reveal whether objects much larger than atoms - such as humans or animals - can exist in several places at once.

Learn what quantum mechanics is, the history of its development and the ways we use it today.

In May 1972 in a uranium enrichment plant in France, scientists examining ore from a mine in Gabon, West Africa, discovered that a natural nuclear reactor had spontaneously manifested in that region in the Earth’s primordial past, churning out approximately 100 Kw worth of energy continuously for a few hundred thousand years about 1.7 billion years ago. In order to [...]
