A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

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

At the heart of quantum mechanics is a mysterious equation known as the wave function. It helps explain the behavior of elementary particles, but also challenges the notion that there's only one ...

Quantum mechanics is a pillar of modern science and technology, and has benefited the human society for a century. The wave function, also known as the quantum state, is the description of a quantum ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists think that our universe started out as just a lot of quantum fluctuations. That means, if you’re able to calculate wave-function of those quantum fluctuations, you ...

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 ...
