... uncertainty in energy is related to the time required for the transition (t). An emission with zero uncertainty in energy would require a transition time (t) of infinity (i.e. it would never happen). Thus Quantum Physics is Not Deterministic. It is Probabilistic. We have verified the Heisenberg r ...

... One of the strange features of quantum mechanics is that the behavior that something exhibits can depend on what we try to find out about it. Thus, an electron can behave like a particle or like a wave, depending on which experimental setup we subject it to. For example, in some situations particlel ...

Syllabus PHYS 441
... A survey of concepts in particle and nuclear physics. We will learn about particles and forces that make up this universe, modern theories about these forces, culminating into an "almost theory of everything" known as the standard model of particle physics. We will learn about the Higgs boson and, t ...
