Otto Stern and the discovery of space quantization
... I.I. Rabi as told to John S. Rigden As a beginning graduate student back in 1923, I was greatly influenced but not convinced by the quantum theory. I suppose that is not surprising. If one tries to think logically about atomic phenomena on the basis of an undergraduate education in classical physics ...

Quantum Nature of Light
... A basic principle of quantum mechanics is complementarity: each quantummechanical object has both wave-like and particle-like properties. With this approach the photon is at the same time wave and particle, but they can never be observed simultaneously in the same experiment, not even if the uncerta ...

Theory of quantum state control with solid-state qubits Research supervisor
... The potential to exploit quantum-mechanics in technology, from sensors to computers, is vast. Essential for these developments, however, is the ability to take a quantum system with a few discrete states, such as an exciton in a quantum dot or impurity state in a crystal, and control its wavefunctio ...

The Transactional Interpretation
... • Suppose we want to find out where a ‘particle,’ such an electron, is? • The electron gets created in some state ‘Q’ • It could be in different positions a, b, c • Quantum theory just gives us probabilities for those positions: Prob(a|Q) or Prob(b|Q) or Prob(c|Q)….but no answer for why we only see ...

The statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics
... For a brief period at the beginning of 1926, it looked as though there were, suddenly, two self-contained but quite distinct systems of explanation extant: matrix mechanics and wave mechanics. But Schrödinger himself soon demonstrated their complete equivalence. Wave mechanics enjoyed a very great d ...
