12.3 Assembly of distinguishable Particles
... To each energy level, there is one or more quantum states described by a wave function Ф. When there are several quantum states that have the same energy, the states are said to be degenerate. The quantum state associated with the lowest energy level is called the ground state of the system. Those t ...

QUANTUM HETERODOXY: REALISM AT THE PLANK LENGTH Q

Electrons as field quanta: A better way to teach quantum physics in introductory general physics courses

This misunderstanding simply replaces one classical theory with another. The modern view is that light is a wave in a continuous field, but this field is quantized. This view ...

Conceptual Issues in Canonical Quantum Gravity and Cosmology
... What is an observable in quantum gravity? This question, too, is related with the problem of time. One would assume that all observables have to commute with both the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints. But this would mean that all observables would be constants of motion, because the total Hamilt ...
