Quantum Entanglement: An Exploration of a Weird Phenomenon 1
... Because of the systematic difference between classical physics and quantum physics, physicists found it necessary to develop a theory that does not depend on classical physics results, as it was the case to explain quantum mechanical results with classical physical laws. As a result, Heisenberg deve ...

... Before going into the limitation of the theory, we would like to point out one important feature of the above equation. The equation predicts that CV is the same function for all the substances if it is plotted against the reduced temperature T/ΘE. When this happens, we can say that CV is a universa ...

It is interesting to note that in the extremal limit, the near horizon structure corresponding to the above class of charged black branes turns out to be AdS2 × R 3 which therefore suggests that holographi ...
