There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

Electrons are elementary particles -- indivisible, unbreakable. But new research suggests the electron's quantum state -- the electron wave function -- can be separated into many parts. That has some ...

Representing images in ways other than pixels allows for powerful processing. This subject, based on signal processing, requires a mathematical fluency to understand the concepts fully. Many software ...

A stable graphene signal suggests some quantum particles can remember past interactions, a key step toward quantum computing.

Prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) and their discrete counterparts – the discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (DPSSs) – have emerged as essential tools in the analysis of band‐limited ...

The heart of quantum mechanics is the wave-particle duality: matter and light possess both wave-like and particle-like attributes. Typically, the wave-like properties are inferred indirectly from the ...

A team of Dutch and French researchers has built a microscope that can see atomic wave functions. The team has performed an experiment where they ionised xenon atoms in an electric field and recorded ...

At this point we have the necessary framework to combine all these concepts together into the wavelet energy absorption (WEA) method. At this point we have the necessary framework to combine all these ...
