There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...
A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...
A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...
Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.
