Sentences with phrase «wave functions actually»

In another bit of quantum weirdness, most attempts to directly observe wave functions actually destroy them in a process called collapse.

Not exact matches

For now, other physicists find the proposal interesting, although it's not clear that it will actually replace the wave function.

Back to the Beginning If QBism is right, if the wave function isn't real and quantum theory doesn't give us a direct description of reality, it leaves unanswered the most basic of all questions: What then is the quantum world actually like?

If the wave function isn't actually real, what creates those light and dark bands?

«These include different types of MRI scans, which use strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the brain, and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans, which use a small amount of a radioactive drug, or tracer, to test how tissues in the brain are actually functioning.

But the wave function of whether my epistle is actually printed doesn't collapse (for me) until I open subsequent issues and see if it is indeed there.

The group that did physical therapy combined with wave therapy improved significantly, while the purely physical therapy group actually decreased in balance and gait function.

what exactly is it that determines the probability of an energy transition such as an electron emitting or absorbing a photon (besides densities and occupancies of states and incident photons, etc.)-- and how does refractive index affect this (it has to because the Planck function is proportional to n ^ 2 — has to be in order to satisfy 2nd law of thermo...)-- and does it make sense to use an k, E diagram when electrons are not actually propagating as plane waves — I mean, what is the wavevector when the waveform is not a plane wave; is k a function of space in atomic orbitals?

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).

In summary, Mr. Frank actually becomes an arm waving paleoclimatologist (people who he really loathes) when he says that foram δ18O is a direct function of salinity (PSU).

Oddly enough, that actually sounds a lot like how physicists talk about the «multiverse» and the «collapse of wave function»
