Quantum Theory

Hello, I am asking that if there is another way as to how a something can move besides a particle and a wave? Another question: What makes the move like a particle or wave? Sorry if I asked in the wrong section, but thank you for your time.

How work triboelectricity in Quantum Field Theory? In classic theory electrons transfer from one object to another. How it work in Quantum Field Theory?

Is the continuous collapse of the wave function, or decoherence in the environment the mechanism that creates our perception of time? Is this decoherence subject to time dilation and in direct proportion to the effects of acceleration and gravity?

hello new and i am a student what is the quantum theory what does it do

Referring to following video, it seems that for Balmer Series there are many elements dropping to n = 2 orbit, which release blue color wavelength. When blue wavelength is scattering, it requires electrons to interact with 2nd orbits to absorb and radiate energy (blue color wavelength). That make Ocean looking blue from space. Furthermore, for following orbits, they release infrared wavelength. Paschen Series (3rd Orbit) - Infrared wavelength Brackett Series (4th Orbit) - Infrared wavelength Pfund Series (5th Orbit) - Infrared wavelength It seems that color / wavelength are fixed based on absorb and radiate energy levels. so why apple is red? whic…

Getting my head around this, a particle is an excitation of its appropriate field, but what is the nature of that excitation? It does not wash as an oscillation, as such it would either generate a continual wave or the particle would cease to exist. It seems to me it must be a perturbation of the field extending to infinity via the inverse square... am I on the right track?

If bosons are exempt from exclusion, but can have mass... What prevents a massive cascade?

I was reading that in the early universe, the temperature was above the electroweak symmetry breaking scale so particles probably had no mass. Would this theoretically be possible to reproduce in a laboratory? Raising the temperature (somehow) of an elementary massive particle so that it becomes massless? https://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.08749.pdf (I understand that the reason particles had no mass is because of the Higgs field that could not give mass to particles and not that the particles had a high temperature. So my question is not if we can raise the temperature of the particle but somehow "block" the effect of the Higgs field.)

Hello you all! Experiments are built to observe the wave nature of ever heavier objects. It was done around 1999 with C60 fullerene at the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology, short description there www.univie.ac.at/qfp/research/matterwave/c60/ from which this sketch is adapted: I resembles what one expects from a diffraction setup, but the wavelength differs from optics, hence so do the distances, grating's period, fringes separation. The light beam is strong and concentrated to ionize the molecules on its path, and a detector senses the charges, around 1 to 100 per second. The description doesn't detail all subtleties. Science has progress…

I want to publish the attached paper on Quantum interpretations but it has never been reviewed, even though it has been around in various forms on the Internet for 20+years. I would appreciate any corrections, criticism re wording etc. London_Interpretation.pdf

Hello!If the Library of Babel has 10^(2,000,000) books, does anyone think that it is possible to create a quantum state (with a quantum computer) that represents this Library? I think that in a classical way it is impossible, but in a quantum way?I find it quite interesting! What about you?

Acording to QFT, the electron is an excitation of the electron field the Higgs boson is an excitation of the Higgs field etc. Does every elementary particle have it's own field? According to QFT is the universe reduced to 16-17 fields? What keeps the individual field of each particle (the excitation) to be stable? Do these field permeates space and time? Do these fields interact with each other? What about antiparticles? do they reside in the same field as their equivalent particle? And where do the fields that do not have a particle associated to them fit in? like the Faddeev–Popov ghost fields? Is it normal that these questions are …

It occurs to me that a lot of math especially in QM would be easier to digest with a system of measurement based on Planck's constant... Is there such a system?

I'd like someone with quantum physics knowledge, which I don't have, to give me an answer, that surely exists, to this question: If we introduce a recording video camera in the box, with the cat and the randomly activated killing device, after opening it later (and founding either a live or dead cat), would we see in the video recording a cat in an "entangled" alive-dead state? I think we wouldn,t, we would see either a cat alive all the time or his killing, and the explanation I expect would be that the video camera is a measurement device and the observation "collapsed" the wavelengths... But...how a delayed observation could collapse the wavelengths at a…

Entropy is a statistical law, an approximate conservation law. Shouldn’t therefore this “law” be added with ‘…most of the time’, instead of implying that it’s always the case, by using the term “law”? By introducing Maxwell’s demon, he visualised how this 2nd law of thermodynamics is about probability, an unlikeliness, a statistical impossibility, but not an absolute impossibility. Therefore violating the 2nd law is a statistical possibility, which can only be violated with a tiny probability, but on average entropy doesn't decrease (like throwing heads 1000 times in a row instead of tails). Emmy Noether discovered that with every conservation law there’s a symm…

sir does the concept of Quantum confinement and Bound states are referred to be same? please clarify me from this state.

There is a known physical effect when an excited electron releases a photon of a higher energy than one been absorbed. It happens to both internal and external (valence) electrons. This effect is exploited in Doppler cooling. This is typically external electrons which are engaged in Doppler cooling. What about internal electrons? They seem to be capable to absorb ultraviolet and release X-rays of higher energies. X-rays contain a lot of energy Could this effect be exploited practically either for refrigeration/heat pumps or even some useful work generation? For example, we may try to use X-rays to heat some material and use it to bring some heat engine to action…

Often I encounter materials online that motivate the mental picture of quantum uncertainty by describing it primarily as a measurement error. "Electrons are small, so to "see" them we have to use light of very small wavelength. But photons of such light have a lot of energy, and so necessarily disturb the momentum of the electron severely." Etc. I tend to find such descriptions very unsatisfying - they imply that the electron actually has both position and momentum, but that we are just unable to measure them both simultaneously because by making the measurements we disrupt the thing being observed. When I think about it, I tend to think about it in terms of the …

https://phys.org/news/2018-03-gravity-quantum-mechanics.html A possible experiment to prove that gravity and quantum mechanics can be reconciled: Two teams of researchers working independently of one another have come up with an experiment designed to prove that gravity and quantum mechanics can be reconciled. excerpt: The experiment essentially involves attempting to entangle two particles using their gravitational attraction as a means of confirming quantum gravity. In practice, it would consist of levitating two tiny diamonds a small distance from one another and putting each of them into a superposition of two spin directions. After that, a magneti…

Why Plank's quantum theory was accepted in its time as the only solution to the "UV catastrophe"? Why it been accepted for granted that the blackbody radiation does NOT contain infinite amount of energy inside the spectrum? Is it absolutely true that if it would contain an infinite amount of energy it would be sufficient to destroy entire universe? Maybe this "infinite energy" just doesn't manifest itself under regular conditions and larger part of it doesn't play any role in matter heating, melting and evaporation? What is principal difference between "quant" and "photon"? Regard it as a joke assumption, it would be very nice if any radiation contain an infinite amount o…

Taken alone I understand each of these words... I am at a loss as to spin and why it is referred to as intrinsic angular momentum, it is not motion, not torque, not spin... Obviously it is intrinsic... Please help, I have been reading all kinds of texts and I still just don't get it.

Interesting article on possible tests for quantum gravity (and some background on whether gravity is quantised or not): https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-find-a-way-to-see-the-grin-of-quantum-gravity-20180306/

I have recently been soaking my brain in quanta... It is beginning to appear to me that fields are responsible for the illusion of particles, charge and mass... Comments?
