Sentences with phrase «uncertainty principle states»

In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that one can not assign, with full precision, values for certain pairs of observable variables, including the position and momentum, of a single particle at the same time even in theory.

Not exact matches

Neither Einstein's theory of relativity nor Heisenberg's principle of uncertainty was discovered in the United States, but both have apparently had profound effects on American theology.

Suggesting that receiving States may kick diplomatic missions out of their buildings is probably an even higher price as it introduces uncertainty into the principle of inviolability of diplomatic premises.

One of these is the uncertainty principle, which states that in the quantum world it is impossible to simultaneously know two quantities, such as a particle's location and its momentum, with complete accuracy.

Equally striking, if less well known, are the so - called squeezed quantum states: Normally, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle means that one can not measure the values of certain pairs of physical quantities, such as the position and velocity of a quantum particle, with arbitrary precision.

The molecule's strange properties can only be explained using a theory from quantum mechanics called Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which states that an atom's momentum and position can never both be known precisely.

The latest finding builds on work published in 2008 by Vinokur and his associates that experimentally established the existence of the superinsulating state, while also proposing that it «mirrors» the behavior that occurs in the superconducting state, deriving it from the most fundamental quantum concept, the uncertainty principle.

Like earlier efforts, the scheme, designed by Paul Townsend of the British Telephone Laboratories in Ipswich, U.K., relies on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle — the German physicist's famous insistence that any measurement of a system changes its state.

The famous uncertainty principle — which states that you can't simultaneously know the momentum and position of a particle — comes down to information.

Primary among those oddities was the famous uncertainty principle, which states that you can never know all the properties of a particle at the same time.

Over the past two decades, researchers have shown that foundational principles of quantum physics break in the presence of closed timelike curves: you can beat the uncertainty principle, an inherent fuzziness of quantum properties, and the no - cloning theorem, which says quantum states can't be copied.

Given that many (not all) highly regarded climatologists regard the «catastrophic» case as the most likely case and that much of the research literature, including the IPCC report devotes substantial space to quantifying the uncertainties, I tend to conclude that the current state of knowledge regards the risk of catastrophic climate change as significant and that the precautionary principle applies.

Even neglecting the uncertainty principle no - one can, or ever will, be able to accurately predict the state of one of those atoms even a millisecond forward in time.

Therefore they have decided to support the application of the precautionary principle by stating the uncertainties as less than any objective systematic analysis can support and using subjective judgments as a more reliable basis for quantitative conclusions than they really are.

Lifetime broadening — due to the uncertainty principle as it applies to time and energy, the spontaneous decay from a higher energy state to a lower one — Lorentzian spreading.

It eliminates all predictability as to where companies may be sued, and such uncertainty also strains defendants» budgets, burdens interstate commerce by exerting upward pressure on consumer prices, and erodes core principles of federalism as courts in certain states interfere with the regulatory affairs of other states.
