I read an interesting article today written by a quantum mechanic claiming that the new direction in such scientific studies is that we can't be sure there is an objective reality but can only hope so, because what we perceive as reality is shaped by the observer.

I want to know if they think physicist Paul Davie is right about the obvious creation of universe governing physical laws, if Einstein was right in a God presence and what they think about quantum mechanics that goes back to von Neumann, where one is led by its logic (as Wigner and Peierls were) to the conclusion that not everything is just matter in motion.

I wanted there to be macroscopic forms as an essential ingredient in the theory, and these exerting an influence on what happened by providing a sort of filter into which the causation of quantum mechanics had to direct itself.

Similarly, there is also a constant dynamic towards unifcation, describing the material universe by single rather than disparate laws, such as the quest to link general relativity / gravitation with quantum mechanics in a «Theory of Everything».

Working in a Harvard Physics Department lab, a team of researchers led by Harvard Professors Mikhail Lukin and Markus Greiner and MIT Professor Vladan Vuletic has developed a special type of quantum computer, known as a quantum simulator, which is programmed by capturing super-cooled rubidium atoms with lasers and arranging them in a specific order, then allowing quantum mechanics to do the necessary calculations.

In such cases, the distance between the negative and positive muons is treated as a classical variable and the remaining degrees of freedom are described by quantum mechanics.

As a young professor at the California Institute of Technology, Pauling realized that he could explain the magnetism of certain molecules by the arrangements of their electrons and that this approach satisfied the predictions of quantum mechanics.

In quantum mechanics as in cosmology, Einstein was so confounded by ideas that other researchers derived from his theories that he sought a way out.

The physicists were interested whether the order of the interaction mattered, as predicted by alternative versions of quantum mechanics.

By the mid-1980s the new superstring theory had emerged as the hottest theoretical breakthrough since quantum mechanics, mainly because it seemed to show a way that quantum mechanics itself could be merged with Einstein's general relativity.

In 2011, D - Wave published evidence that its qubits were indeed tunnelling, but to count as a quantum computer, capable of realising the theoretical speed gains that come with it, the qubits must also be entangled — linked by quantum mechanics, no matter how far apart they are in space.

If, for example, time is caused by increasing entropy or disorder, this raises the same problem as does the approach in quantum mechanics that «Time... just is» — in which an allegorical clock is required outside of the system in question, even if that system is the entire universe.

For such tiny objects, the world is governed by a madhouse set of physical laws known as quantum mechanics.

Heisenberg and Schrödinger were first among equals when it came to quantum mechanics — but the quantum revolution as a whole was driven by an extraordinary group of physicists.

In the above study, electrons in the conductor are described by the wave functions of quantum mechanics and the magnetic field is expressed as the U (1) gauge field.

While the strong sigma or covalent bonds were explained by the new theories of quantum mechanics, hydrogen bonds were seen as nothing more than an electrostatic attraction between charged particles and were explained according the principles of classical physics.

In a paper published in the January 18 issue of Physical Review Letters, an international physics collaboration demonstrated that both types of bonds play by the same rules — quantum mechanics, the strange state in which matter exists as particles and waves at the same time.

Understanding the quantum measurement process requires describing the measured system and the measurement apparatus as a compound quantum system governed by the rules of quantum statistical mechanics.

If, after multiple measurements with this experimental setup, scientists found that the measurements of the particles were correlated more than predicted by the laws of classical physics, Kaiser says, then the universe as we see it must be based instead on quantum mechanics.

The new research analyzes the plasma surrounding the pulsar by coupling Einstein's theory of relativity with quantum mechanics, which describes the motion of subatomic particles such as the atomic nuclei — or ions — and electrons in plasma.

As the two wave packets continued to travel around the orbit, they spread out and contracted in a rhythmic fashion governed by the laws of quantum mechanics.

By applying quantum mechanics to the universe as a whole, cosmologists hope to look beyond the very instant of creation

In 2008 he was elected as member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science, whose members are chosen among the scientists of all countries who have distinguished themselves by the value of their scientific work, their role of pioneers or leaders of a school in the broad field of the application of quantum mechanics to the study of molecules and macromolecules.

I realise that I might be confusing quantum mechanics with continuous radiation as depicted by Wein's Law and I would ask to be corrected where I have strayed.

And empty space, as you know it, is not really empty, here is a quote about it: The physical interpretation of the cosmological constant as vacuum energy density is supported by the existence of the «zero point» energy predicted by quantum mechanics.
