Extension of Lorentz Group Representations for Chiral Fermions
... The principles of quantum measurement are at the foundation of particle physics. For example, particle spin and momentum assignments are determined by quantum representations of the Lorentz group [1], and quantum electrodynamics as a local U (1) gauge theory emerges naturally from the phase invarian ...

The difference between the classical meaning and the actual meaning of the quantum numbers is that in the classical meaning, scientists still thought of electrons as particles orbiting a nucleus in a defined path. Once Schroedinger showed that treating an electron as a wave resulted in calculations ...

The cat inside the box exists in several possibilities until the box is opened and one possibility occurs against the others. This idea was repulsive to many scientists at the time, and many still struggle with it. After all, ...

A Gentle Introduction to Quantum Computing

Needless to say, we are a long way off from the construction of sufficiently powerful quantum computers. By sufficiently ...

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 ...
