This class covers the foundations of rigid multi-body mechanics. Topics include geometry of rigid bodies, rotating bodies, Lagrangian mechanics and variational principles, conservation of energy and ...

mechanics of materials, etc.). Upon successful completion of the course, students will have an advanced understanding of the linear elastic behavior of solids. More specifically, they will be able to: ...

Today, it might be turning your computer off and on again. Quantum mechanics — the most successful and important theory in modern physics — is like that. It works wonderfully, explaining ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world's population—most of them ...

Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.

In two parallel papers published simultaneously, they propose a novel perspective that suggests spacetime may remain classical and unaffected by quantum mechanics. This theory, as described in a ...

You will learn basic concepts including superposition and entanglement of quantum states, measurement in quantum mechanics, and the uncertainty principle. You will also learn about the mathematical ...

However, UCL researchers propose a striking alternative: a "postquantum theory of classical gravity" that reexamines the fundamental relationship between these two domains. Quantum mechanics ...

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay ...
