Many will remember the s, p, d and f orbitals from high school chemistry class. These were developed via the quantum numbers – a result of [Schrodinger’s] wave mechanics. Quantum Tunneling can ...
Quantum chemistry applies quantum mechanics to the theoretical study of chemical systems. It aims, in principle, to solve the Schrödinger equation for the system under scrutiny; however ...
These were the laws of quantum mechanics, and they got their name from the work of Max Planck. "An Act of Desperation" In 1900, Max Planck was a physicist in Berlin studying something called the ...
Quantum mechanics is the best tool we have to understand how the universe works on its smallest scales. Everything we can see around us, from far-off galaxies to our own bodies, is made up of ...
Did these researchers truly just crack our fundamental concepts of (quantum) physics wide open? As it turns out, not really. Much of the confusion stems from the fact that photons aren’t little ...
