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 ...

The orthodox interpretation of the quantum wave function sees it as real – as part of the physical furniture of the universe. Some even go as far as to argue that the entire universe is a quantum wave ...

(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 ...

Results for the limiting screening number as N → ∞ of an electron in the (nl) radial wave function of an atom with atomic number N, are extended to configurations including (4s), (4p) and (4d) ...

One of the great counterintuitive puzzles of quantum mechanics is wave-particle duality. This is the phenomenon in which objects behave both like particles and like waves. Numerous experiments have ...
