- Quantum mechanics [QM] is a branch of physics which describes physical systems so that properties like the energy or angular momentum are discrete quantities that are multiples of a smallest unit or quantum. A famous physicist named Erwin Schrödinger made an example of quantum mechanics, often called Schrödinger's cat.

1 day ago · Quantum mechanics is a hybrid of genuine and ironic science. In its mathematical form, quantum mechanics is the most powerful, precise theory ever discovered; it has withstood countless tests. The theory is ironic in the sense that its meaning is maddeningly ambiguous. Experts have proposed many “interpretations” of quantum mechanics, which ...
1 day ago · Quantum mechanics provides an elaborate theoretical framework for describing the interactions between particles via perturbation theory and scattering theory. At high energies such as those present in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, this framework is upgraded to relativistic quantum field theory and the Standard Model of particle physics.
3 days ago · This concept (i.e., quantum parallelism) along with quantum interference (i.e., the interaction between the states within a superposition), allows quantum computers to perform certain computations much faster and with less hardware than classical computers. This stark difference in data processing is what sets quantum computers apart, and it ...
3 days ago · The S-Matrix Is the Oracle Physicists Turn To in Times of Crisis. Particle physicists in search of the next theory of reality are consulting a mathematical structure that they know will never fail: a table of possibilities known as the S-matrix. Even without knowing exactly what goes on during a particle collision, the “S-matrix” lets ...
