Applied Quantum Mechanics - Assets
... Of course, we expect the ball to bounce right back. Quantum mechanics has something different to say. There is, under certain special circumstances, a finite chance that the ball will appear on the other side of the wall! This effect, known as tunneling, is fundamentally quantum mechanical and arise ...

... Recently, Smolin [12,13] went even further and argued that the passage of time is based on objective grounds and constitutes an innate principle of the universe from which all physical laws evolve. This approach is now known as temporal naturalism [13]. According to his view, time is understood as a ...

... Schrödinger’s cat. In 1935, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger came up with the thought experiment in which an unstable atom, upon its radioactive decay, triggers a mechanism that poisons a cat. All of these components are located in a box. As long as the box remains closed, no one knows whether t ...

... All concepts which can be used in classical theory for the description of a mechanical system can also be defined exactly for atomic processes in analogy to the classical concepts. The experiments which provide such a definition themselves suffer an indeterminacy introduced purely by the observation ...
