On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...

Most books about fundamental quantum mechanics use results in the theory of Hilbert space operators without proving them, while most books about Hilbert space operators do not treat quantum mechanics.

California Institute of Technology professor Sean M. Carroll discussed recent advances and unsolved questions in the field of quantum mechanics, addressing a packed lecture hall Wednesday evening.

Woo-niversal truths Chris Ferrie attempts to take the quantum mysticism out of quantum mechanics. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Space Wind) You can no doubt guess that Chris Ferrie’s Quantum Bullsh*t: How ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

OUITE a number of books have been written on quantum mechanics with applications to problems of physics. Now, however, we have something new, a book on quantum mechanics with applications to chemistry ...

Quantum mechanics does not prove the existence of miracles. And nor does it justify a belief in telepathy. However, the subject is open to such abuses because it is so poorly understood. This book ...

I find science fascinating. Also, I was a miserable science student in school. No matter how hard I studied, I just couldn’t seem to wrap my head around some of the more sophisticated scientific ...

I was asked to do a presentation last week for the Union College Academy for Lifelong Learning (UCALL), an adult-education program at the college, as part of series about faculty who have published ...

THIS is the second edition of the celebrated book that appeared five years ago, which has been perhaps the most outstanding book written on the quantum theory. The new edition has the same brilliantly ...
