Sentences with phrase «vibrational quanta»

For example, she says, they might try to put the resonator into a Schrödinger cat state, in which it would contain a macroscopic sound wave, comprising many vibrational quanta, and at the same time be devoid of vibrations.

As the frequency of the electric field of the infrared radiation approaches the frequency of the oscillating bond dipole and the two oscillate at the same frequency and phase, the chemical bond can absorb the infrared photon and increase its vibrational quantum number by +1.

We know that in equilibrium the distribution of the vibrational quantum states (e.g how many molecules are in a state with energy Ei) is invariant and depends only on temperature.

In the journal Physics of Life Reviews, Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose suggest that quantum vibrational computations in microtubules (components of a cell's structure) are «orchestrated» by synaptic inputs and memory, and terminated by «objective reduction».

Using the quantum circuit, Cleland and his team verified that the paddle had no vibrational energy whatsoever.

«Our result proves that vibrational states of hundreds of atoms can be used for quantum experiments,» says Schmiedmayer.

(Since we're talking about IR radiation, the quantum states involved are the vibrational states of molecules rather than the electronic states of atoms, but the fundamental principles are the same.)

The various lines reflect the multitude of quantum transitions that CO2 can undergo from absorbed infrared (IR) radiation, due to its vibrational mode and superimposed rotational modes that are generated by the transient dipole moment CO2 undergoes from its vibrational excitation.
