Models of wave-function collapse
... this is of course observed, for example, in the famous double-slit interference experiment. Moreover, the theory in principle makes no distinction between microscopic and macroscopic objects and predicts that large objects can also be in more than one place at the same time. But this is not what we ...

On the Energy Spectrum and Ground
... This state is separated by finite energy gap from the ground state due to the non-degeneracy of the fragment ground state. Therefore for weak coupling between cyclic fragments there is finite energy gap between the excitations with S ≥ S0 and the ground state of the tube. Due to this gap at low temp ...

... If elementary particles like the electron are actually little spinning spheres of charge, why should their spins be quantized in magnitude and direction? Classically, there is no way to explain this behavior. In 1925, S. Goudsmidt and G. Uhlenbeck realized that the classical model just cannot apply. ...

Feynman Diagrams in Quantum Mechanics
... We will do this by constructing certain Feynman diagrams for this problem. A diagram is very similar to a graph: it consists of a set of vertices and connecting lines (edges). There are two types of vertices in these diagrams – internal and external vertices. Internal vertices in this case have thre ...
