Note that the real valued solutions of an electron in a potential well gives away the game. Measurements of quantum systems are eigenvalues that are real valued. Thus each potential well solution is an corresponds to an eigenvalue and the solution is a result of measurement in a way.
Normal horses have the following gaits: walk, trot, run, gallop. The trot, run, gallop gaits are a bit uncomfortable for the rider and limit the horses endurance. However there is a horse that has a fifth gait called ambling. You can see this gait in the following video: Now lest Read more…
Simplification using single particle experiment explanations Consider a single particle source. The particle is equally likely to emit in any direction. That situation is depicted below : What you imagine is that a localized particle emanates from the emitter and you detect it somewhere on your ring of Read more…
Louis DeBroglie does not get the credit he deserves for original thinking in quantum machanics – DeBroglie thesis paper – he won the Nobel Prize in 1929 for very good reasons which you will see if you read his thesis paper. I am looking for the single photon counter used Read more…
Comments This video is not the most entertaining as the speaker has a thick Germanic accent. However the topic of generating a single photon is important for being able to do experimental quantum physics. Summary In recent years there has been increasing interest in systems capable to generate photon fields Read more…
A reasonable strategy for learning QED would be to try to recreate Richard Feynman's path of discovery that lead him to his thesis paper. If you are an electrical or computer engineer you should probably set about the task of learning the subject for sooner or later quantum computing and Read more…
