«Chemistry at its most basic level is
described by quantum mechanics,» he said.
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.
Not exact matches
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».
(
By the way, even though Schrödinger questioned if it was real, many scientist think the illustration is a relatively accurate way to
describe quantum mechanics).
This prediction is fulfilled, for example,
by the laws of
quantum mechanics, which predictively
describe the behavior of groups of particles, not that of any individual particle.
One possibility is that if physicists ever manage to unify
quantum theory and general relativity, space and time will be
described by some modified version of
quantum mechanics.
Calculations run with this model show that these spaces are
described by well - known
quantum Fermi - Dirac, and Bose - Einstein statistics, used in
quantum mechanics, indicating that they could be useful to physicists working on
quantum gravity.
In
quantum mechanics, interactions between particles can give rise to entanglement, which is a strange type of connection that could never be
described by a non-
quantum, classical theory.
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.
I was fascinated
by Michael Slezak's article
describing a new take on the many worlds theory for explaining
quantum mechanics...
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.
Since wormholes are contortions of spacetime geometry —
described by Einstein's gravitational equations — identifying them with
quantum entanglement would forge a link between gravity and
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.
The mathematics of
quantum mechanics, Roushan said, do not allow for the chaos
described by Newtonian laws of motion.
A single electron orbiting a proton can occupy only certain, discrete energy levels, which are
described by the laws of
quantum mechanics.
Much more recently, the math
describing quantum error correction has turned up in a completely unexpected context — efforts to understand the nature of spacetime
by uniting gravity with
quantum mechanics.
Particles in our universe are
described by relativistic
quantum field theory, which combines
quantum mechanics with Einstein's theory of relativity.
A humanmade object that moves in ways that can be
described only
by quantum mechanics might lead to tests of our notion of reality.
