What's more, theory suggests that in some cases, swapping the anyons back again does not restore their original wavefunction.

Physicists do agree completely about how to use wavefunctions to predict the results of measurements, sometimes with extraordinary precision and accuracy.

When interference occurs, each particle's wavefunction includes parts corresponding to the particle going each way, much like the way that a classical wave that interferes has parts going both ways.

The copper and white spheres represent carbon and oxygen atoms, respectively, and the aqua and green surfaces represent opposite phases of the exciton wavefunction distributions.

Due to the modular architecture, the addition of new wavefunctions, algorithms, and observables is relatively straightforward.

Dr. Martin Head - Gordon is an electronic structure theorist who is known for development of linear scaling methods for performing density functional theory calculations, for new methods for calculating electronic excited states, and for advances in electron correlation methods, including the development of widely used density functionals and many - electron wavefunction theory.

The control over the electron wavefunction requires interfaces which lead to the loss of bulk properties of the qubit due to physical processes like the valley - orbit coupling, exchange, and many - body effects in coherent coupling.

At the end of the day, after all the wavefunctions had been calculated and probabilities plotted, shouldn't quantum mechanics have something coherent to say about nature?

The ant's situation is not just an analogy for what happens to the electron's wavefunction — it actually occurs within an abstract geometric space made of quantum waves.

Counterintuitively, a 360 ° rotation actually shifts the phase of the wavefunction, so that the wave's crests become troughs and vice versa.

It takes another full 360 ° turn to finally bring the electron and its wavefunction back to their starting states.

In the strange world of quantum physics, an electron can also be represented as a wavefunction that encodes information about the particle, such as the probability of finding it in a particular spin state.

But for anyons, the phase of the wavefunction changes by an angle that depends on the type of anyon.

In bosons, the swap has no effect on the collective wavefunction; for fermions, it shifts their wavefunctions» phases by 180 °, similar to what happens when a single electron does a 360 ° turn.

The particle is described mathematically by a special quantum kind of wave called a wavefunction.

If the wavefunction describes the particle as being in a superposition of going both ways, does that mean the particle «really» did?

But how one should interpret the physical meaning of a wavefunction prior to its being measured remains uncertain — even controversial — and quite likely always will.

Unfortunately, eight decades after Erwin Schrdinger introduced the idea of a wavefunction, physicists still do not agree about the nature of the physical reality that it describes.

-LSB-...] award of this year's Chemistry Nobel has attracted many predictions at ChemBark, Thomsons Reuters, Curious Wavefunction and Interfacial Digressions among others but few (if any)-LSB-...]

Wavefunction, Subsculpture 9 (April 22 July 30, 2017) is a kinetic sculpture and interactive installation by Mexican - Canadian artist Rafael Lozano - Hemmer that plays on the work of mid-century American designers Charles and Ray Eames.

Wavefunction, Subsculpture 9 consists of 42 molded plastic chairs (designed by the Eameses in 1948) arranged in a grid and attached to electromechanical pistons set into metal bases.

Presumably the wavefunction will collapse at some point when the case actually gets heard, but that could be a way off.
