Near such a quantum phase transition the system develops an SU(2) order parameter, which characterizes the mixture of superconductivity with a charge density wave. The resulting states, which completely differ from the original antiferromagnetic state, are de ...

Summary
... With the realization of coherent, laser-like atoms in the form of Bose-Einstein condensates it has become possible to explore matter-wave amplification, a process in which the number of atoms in a quantum state is amplified due to bosonic stimulation. In previous amplifiers based on superradiant Ray ...

Modern Model of the Atom
... Do not confuse with orbits! The electrons are NOT “orbiting” the nucleus. We cannot predict the actual location of an electron like we can predict planets orbiting the sun! Different orbital shapes: s, p, d, f (lowest to highest energy) ...

In that case, the electrons get squeezed into a “quantum box” and have to adapt to the shape of the solid by changing their wave function. Their wav ...
