Quantum theory confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics. At the subatomic level, one particle seems to know what the others are doing, and according to Heisenberg's "uncertainty principle", there is a limit on how accurately nature can be observed. And...
Bohr Correspondence Principle—graphic representation. The Bohr Correspondence Principle states that in the limit of large quantum numbers the predictions of quantum theory are the same as the predictions in classical theory. Shown above are plots of the particle-in-a-box probability P(n, x) for ...
Al looks around and tells Sam that they aren’t in New Mexico, but Sam persists, reminding Al about the theory that something or someone grabbed Sam when he had first Leaped. Al is cautious as to where this is leading, and Sam points back into the bar, telling Al that someone inside ...
The advice seemed to work, because fast forward nearly 35 years and here I am to tell you that I wouldn’t be here without YOU. My business and this blog wouldn’t have grown nearly as fast without my network of friends and colleagues. And YOU are a part of that. And not just beca...
Similar to the entanglement, the imaginarity has been recognized as an indispensable resource responsible for quantum advantages [28,29,30], which has ruled out the real-valued standard formalism of quantum theory [31]. When a quanton exhibits particle behavior, the real component 𝑥𝑅 alone...
winning a nobel prize for his contributions to quantum theory, caltech’s richard feynman remarked that “nobody understands quantum mechanics.” the way we experience the world just isn’t compatible. but some people grasped it well enough to redefine our understanding of the universe....
defined by the ligand distance), while the remaining is calculated using classical force fields. Despite being a methodology used in drug development studies64, it is known that its accuracy is still lower, especially when compared to purely ab initio methods such as Density Functional Theory (...
You might have heard of the conundrum “What do you give the man who has everything?” I discovered a variation on it last October: how do you celebrate the man who studied (nearly) everything? Physicist Edwin Thompson Jaynes impacted disciplines from quantum information theory to biomedical ...

e., using the zigzag ordered ground state as input for the pure Kitaev-Heisenberg model fixes K > 0 from the beginning and a description of the magnetic excitations on top of this ground state in terms of linear spin-wave theory is necessarily confined to this boundary condition. ...
