Since its inception in the early part of the 20th century, the theory of quantum mechanics has consistently baffled many of the great physicists of our time. But while the ideas of quantum physics are ...
Overview: Quantum Physics for Beginners by Carl J. Pratt simplifies core ideas like wave-particle duality and entanglement, making it ideal for first-time reade ...
Quantum physics is about multiplicity. Its equations describe multiple possible outcomes for a measurement in the subatomic realm. Physicists have devised a dozen or two different interpretations of ...
A generation from now, 2012 may be remembered as the year when research on quantum fundamentals came of age. The awarding of the year’s Nobel Prize for Physics to two quantum-control pioneers, Serge ...
For more than 30 years, the pioneering X-ray astrophysicist Walter Lewin taught core curriculum physics courses to undergraduates at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For this alone, he ...
The renowned cosmologist wants to make the ideas of modern physics accessible to anyone who’s willing to do a bit of extra thinking. The following is an excerpt from The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: ...
WRITERS of mathematical text-books on mechanics and of so-called applied mechanics have still much to learn from one another. A too excessive abstract and logical development of the subject by the one ...
Margaret Wertheim is a science writer and author of “The Pearly Gates of Cyberspace: A History of Space from Dante to the Internet,” and “Physics on the Fringe.” ‘I think I can safely say that nobody ...
