Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling in a Josephson Junction Coupled
Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling in a Josephson Junction Coupled

... We are studying what happens to the JJ when we connect it in parallel to an AlN dilatational resonator. The resonator consists of a piezoelectric crystal between two pieces of metal. The crystal produces a voltage when compressed, and it is compressed when there is a voltage across it. It behaves li ...

... distance between the first and last legs are larger than some upper bound S. If the spacing of the one-dimensional lattice serves as the unit distance, the simplest local constraint that still allows the centipede to move is s = 2. The classical dynamics of a centipede with this local constraint has ...

In fact, given that the labeled tensor product Hilbert Space formalism of many-particle quantum mechanics allows, in virtue of the indices, non-symmetric states that do not occur in nature, it would appear that the labels are not just otio ...

Probability amplitude



In quantum mechanics, a probability amplitude is a complex number used in describing the behaviour of systems. The modulus squared of this quantity represents a probability or probability density.Probability amplitudes provide a relationship between the wave function (or, more generally, of a quantum state vector) of a system and the results of observations of that system, a link first proposed by Max Born. Interpretation of values of a wave function as the probability amplitude is a pillar of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. In fact, the properties of the space of wave functions were being used to make physical predictions (such as emissions from atoms being at certain discrete energies) before any physical interpretation of a particular function was offered. Born was awarded half of the 1954 Nobel Prize in Physics for this understanding (see #References), and the probability thus calculated is sometimes called the ""Born probability"". These probabilistic concepts, namely the probability density and quantum measurements, were vigorously contested at the time by the original physicists working on the theory, such as Schrödinger and Einstein. It is the source of the mysterious consequences and philosophical difficulties in the interpretations of quantum mechanics—topics that continue to be debated even today.
