Trapping ultracold atoms with laser light let researchers magnify and then image the wave functions of atoms that were ...

Students learning quantum mechanics are taught the Schrodinger equation and how to solve it to obtain a wave function. But a ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists think that our universe started out as just a lot of quantum fluctuations. That means, if you’re able to calculate wave-function of those quantum fluctuations, you ...

Ideas from quantum physics have seeped into popular culture over recent decades in a way they failed to for the first half ...

Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of mathematics and physics. The calculation, called the Fourier transform, ...

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also ...
