THIS translation satisfies a real want of a tolerably large class of students of science. It furnishes in a volume of reasonable size a clear and readable account of a subject, an acquaintance ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Design of Elements is a required course for mechanical engineering students. This course is an introduction to the basic principles of modern engineering. It provides the students with fundamental ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

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 ...

measurement in quantum mechanics, and the uncertainty principle. You will also learn about the mathematical tools needed to describe and manipulate quantum states, advanced theory of angular momentum, ...

Entitled “The Quantum Theory of Radiation”, and published in the Philosophical Magazine, their hypothesis was quickly proved wrong, and has since become a mere footnote in the history of quantum ...

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