The Blind Men and the Quantum

The First approached the Elephant, And happening to fall, Against his broad and sturdy side, At once began to bawl: “God bless me! but the Elephant, Is very like a wall!” The Second, feeling of the tusk, Cried, “Ho! ...

... theory, and then went on to show that light was an electromagnetic wave. Thus as a result of his work three previously separate fields of physics became one. Around the same time, the field of statistical mechanics, as the foundation for thermodynamics, was also being developed. Around 1900, however ...

Quantum Physics 2005 Notes-4 The Schrodinger Equation (Chapters 6 + 7)
... The general solution vs the specific case The free particle wave -2 • There are an infinite number of possible solutions to the free space Schrodinger equation. All we have found is the relation between the possible time solutions and the possible space solutions. • We need to give more information ...

These two modes of description of matter—the strictly deterministic and the statistical— provide already one type of ' b ...

The quantum mechanics of photon addition and subtraction
... By adding only one photon, any input state is converted into a nonclassical state that cannot be described by classical theory. As seen in Figure 2, we added a photon to a thermal field (the most classical field) which makes the state have negative values in its Wigner function. This is a typical si ...
