Quantum mechanics is the field of physics that explains how extremely small objects simultaneously have the characteristics of both particles (tiny pieces of matter) and waves (a disturbance or variation that transfers energy). Physicists call this the “wave-particle duality.” Wave-Particle Duality ...
But, the rockstar scientist is adamant that taking complex science and making it simple and accessible through music - or other means - is crucial, especially with his own chosen field, quantum physics. "Quantum mechanics is the most successful theory we have, in anything. It's given us all...

quantum physics predicts very strange things about how matter works that are completely at odds with how things seem to work in the real world. Quantum particles can behave like particles, located in a single place; or they can act like waves,distributed all over space or in several places...
Britannica Quiz Physics and Natural Law In 1900 the German theoretical physicist Max Planck made a bold suggestion. He assumed that the radiation energy is emitted, not continuously, but rather in discrete packets called quanta. The energy E of the quantum is related to the frequencyν by E ...
It has certainly produced some of the most radical ideas ever to appear in physics, in attempts by various "interpretations" to deny it. The projection postulate is actually very simple, and arguably intuitive as well. It says that when a measurement is made, the system of interest will ...
As has been noted,quantummechanics has been enormously successful in explaining microscopic phenomena in all branches ofphysics. The three phenomena described in this section are examples that demonstrate thequintessenceof the theory. Decay of thekaon ...
The current theories of quantum physics and general relativity on their own do not allow us to study situations in which the gravitational source is quantum. Here, we propose a strategy to determine the dynamics of objects in the presence of mass configurations in superposition, and hence an ind...

Theorem 1 leaves us with a remarkable conclusion: the equilibrium physics described by\(\hat{H}({{{\mathcal{G}}})\), where\({{{\mathcal{G}}}\)is sampled from the space of all simple graphs, is not many-body. This is because the free energy density asL → ∞is equivalent ...
