It’s in your physics textbook, go look. It says that you can either model light as an electromagnetic wave OR you can model light a stream of photons. You can’t use both models at the same ...

We can frequently find in our daily lives a localized wave structure that maintains its shape upon propagation—picture a smoke ring flying in the air. Similar stable structures have been studied in ...

The fuzzy quantum shape that describes the speed or location of a single particle, its wave function, has now been directly measured in the laboratory, giving this mathematical concept a small ...

But scientists ultimately arrived at the conclusion that light is both a particle (photon) and a wave. Think of light's wave function as corresponding to the likelihood of a photon being in a ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years. Aspencore network. News & Analytics ... A ...

Electrons are elementary particles -- indivisible, unbreakable. But new research suggests the electron's quantum state -- the electron wave function -- can be separated into many parts. That has ...

The wave function they calculated proved accurate, so next they took on a giant 19,200-dimensional state. The results yielded wave functions with 90 percent accuracy.

I HAVE been able to show that there does not exist a mutually definite correlation between the spin and the transformation properties of the wave function of an elementary particle, as generally ...
