Since the start of the team's most recent INCITE project, Alexeev is also helping them validate a force field (the sets of parameters needed to accurately calculate the energy functions) for peptide design against quantum mechanical simulations.

If the quality factor of the resonator is high, the mechanical energy will dissipate at a very low rate, and therefore the resonator will be extremely accurate at measuring or sensing objects thus enabling these systems to become very sensitive mass and force sensors, as well as exciting quantum systems.

DURING HIS TIME IN GUANGZHOU, Leonhardt planned to work on the theory of Casimir forces, a strange pull or push between two closely spaced objects that arises because of quantum mechanical fluctuations in the vacuum of empty space.

When I was a physicist, back in the days when supercomputers had as much power as a cellphone, those of us who studied orientational forces between molecules of hydrogen or nitrogen used spherical harmonics to represent the behaviors (shperoidal wave functions, actually, since it is a quantum - mechanical problem).
