Quantum mechanics has a concept called a “wave function.” It’s incredibly important because it holds all the measurable information about a particle (or group of particles) within it. In practice, the ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!

Learn more about quantum mechanics in this video. There are some pretty out-there explanations for the processes at work behind the incredibly successful mathematics of quantum mechanics - things are ...

Quantum computing, secure wireless communication and advances in quantum teleportation could be closer to reality now that a team of researchers has developed a more efficient way of measuring wave ...

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

The form you should use may be given to you in a question, but if not, any one will do. If in doubt, \(k\cos (x - \alpha )\) usually works. These worked examples show the processes you'll need to go ...

What Is A Periodic Wave? A periodic wave is a wave with a repeating continuous pattern which determines its wavelength and frequency. It is characterized by the amplitude, a period and a frequency.
