A humanmade object that moves in ways that can be described
only by quantum mechanics might lead to tests of our notion of reality.
Not exact matches
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.
In some interpretations of
quantum mechanics, the universe
only comes into being when we observe it, and the act of observing it actually determines what happens next
by forcing reality into one of many possible outcomes.
For a Fermi
quantum gas under this clock's operating conditions,
quantum mechanics favors a configuration where each individual lattice site is occupied
by only one atom, which prevents the frequency shifts induced
by atomic interactions in the 1 - D version of the clock.
A single electron orbiting a proton can occupy
only certain, discrete energy levels, which are described
by the laws of
quantum mechanics.
In contrast, a tiny machine unveiled this year jiggles in ways explicable
only by the weird rules of
quantum mechanics, which ordinarily govern molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles.
The climate is quantified (in the sense of
quantum mechanics)
by time segments of length L — the 2 following climate points are separated
by L years and there is nothing between them
only weather.
It is easy to observe that H
only emits very specific energies of light which are «easily» predicted
by the
quantum mechanics of the orbiting electrons and the allowed transitions between energy levels of those orbits.
