Time Symmetry and the Many-Worlds Interpretation - Philsci
... I will now clarify (and slightly amend) this definition. First, a world is not a concept associated with a particular moment in time, but with all of time. It is a complete history in which all macroscopic objects have definite states. At the beginning, according to the standard MWI, there was one c ...

What is quantum unique ergodicity?
... The first major theorem proved in this subject was the quantum ergodicity theorem proved by Schnirelman, Zelditch and Colin de Verdière for manifolds without boundary (Example 1.3), and for manifolds with boundary by Gérard–Leichtnam and Zelditch–Zworski [11], [15], [4], [6], [16]. Theorem 4.1 (Qu ...

Notice also that the interaction between the atoms is due to the polarization of the electronic cloud, and as consequence the interaction between 4 He-4 He, 3 He-3 He, and 4 He-3 He pairs can be considered to be the same. Keeping this in mind, it is ...

Quantum strategies

By considering PQ PENNY FLIP we can prove the following: THEOREM 2: A two-person zero-sum game need not have a quantum/quantum equilibrium.

Particle in a box
In quantum mechanics, the particle in a box model (also known as the infinite potential well or the infinite square well) describes a particle free to move in a small space surrounded by impenetrable barriers. The model is mainly used as a hypothetical example to illustrate the differences between classical and quantum systems. In classical systems, for example a ball trapped inside a large box, the particle can move at any speed within the box and it is no more likely to be found at one position than another. However, when the well becomes very narrow (on the scale of a few nanometers), quantum effects become important. The particle may only occupy certain positive energy levels. Likewise, it can never have zero energy, meaning that the particle can never ""sit still"". Additionally, it is more likely to be found at certain positions than at others, depending on its energy level. The particle may never be detected at certain positions, known as spatial nodes.The particle in a box model provides one of the very few problems in quantum mechanics which can be solved analytically, without approximations. This means that the observable properties of the particle (such as its energy and position) are related to the mass of the particle and the width of the well by simple mathematical expressions. Due to its simplicity, the model allows insight into quantum effects without the need for complicated mathematics. It is one of the first quantum mechanics problems taught in undergraduate physics courses, and it is commonly used as an approximation for more complicated quantum systems.
