5 Quantum mechanics (QM – also known as quantum physics, or quantum theory) is a branch of physics which deals with physical phenomena at microscopic scales, where the action is on the order …

What physics topics do I need to know to start learning about quantum mechanics? (In addition to the mathematical topics mentioned at What is the math knowledge necessary for starting Quantum …

Aug 21, 2021 · Does quantum physics apply to other dimensions? Common sense seems to dictate that in a universe with two dimensions, quantum physics wouldn't apply, because particles would be …

For quantum mechanics, the original is still the best: Dirac's "The Principles of Quantum Mechanics". It's clear, it's terse, and it's comprehensive. All other books take most of their material from this source. …

21 In the following answer I am going to refer to the unitary evolution of a quantum state vector (basically Schrodinger's Equation which provide the rate of change with respect to time of the …

There are zero contradictions between quantum mechanics and special relativity; quantum field theory is the framework that unifies them. General relativity also works perfectly well as a low-energy effective …

The literature I've used so far is: Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by David J.Griffiths, Quantum physics by Leonard Schiff, Modern Quantum Mechanics (Revised Edition) by J.J.Sakurai. First one is …

Apr 10, 2012 · Physicists would almost always pick "quantum mechanics" as the preferred label for any theory that follows the postulates of quantum mechanics or for the postulates themselves. On the …

I will answer the question in the title: How do particles become entangled? Entanglement is a shorthand way of saying that "one is dealing with a quantum mechanical system which describes in a …

Jun 28, 2021 · However, silicon 'cat whisker' diodes were invented before quantum mechanics (they were patented in 1906 per Wikipedia), but were not fully understood until solid state physics (based …
