Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of ...

Devised in 1935 by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, this thought experiment was designed to shine a spotlight on the ...

(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 ...

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 ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors ...
