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

But when quantum particles interact, their wave functions overlap and can become entangled. They share a unified quantum state, a single wave function that describes both particles simultaneously.

Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions (PSWFs): Special functions optimised for representing band‐limited signals, providing an orthogonal basis with excellent time–frequency localisation.

Waves, which are one of the two quantum states, are described by a wave function. Finding the maximum and minimum of a wave function with a G-field could reconcile quantum theory with general ...

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery – and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a ...

The result is a cheap function generator you can build with a Pi Pico and a handful of resistors, which will probably cost you the grand total of $12.
