The fuzzy quantum shape that describes the speed or location of a single particle, its wave function, has now been directly measured in the laboratory, giving this mathematical concept a small dose of ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!

Quantum computing, secure wireless communication and advances in quantum teleportation could be closer to reality now that a team of researchers has developed a more efficient way of measuring wave ...

Time-domain finite-difference (TDFD) method is the most dominant approach for seismic wavefield simulation. Due to the memory and computational cost of the computer, finite-difference (FD) simulations ...

Learn more about quantum mechanics in this video. There are some pretty out-there explanations for the processes at work behind the incredibly successful mathematics of quantum mechanics - things are ...

Humans have problems with quantum mechanics. We have excellent intuition about the motion of a tennis ball tossed in the air, but what about an electron trapped in a box? The tendency is to use the ...
