Quantum mechanics has a concept called a "wave function." It's incredibly important because it holds all the measurable information about a particle (or group of particles) within it.

Caltech professor of chemistry Sandeep Sharma and colleagues from IBM and the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Japan are giving us a glimpse of the future of computing. The team has used ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

The wave function helps predict the results of quantum experiments with incredible accuracy. But it describes a world where particles have fuzzy properties – for example, existing in two places ...

22 comments on “ Quantum wave functions come alive! May the Bohr Model rest in peace ” ReallySmartGuy July 27, 2013. Of course Bohr knew his model didn't fit experimental data so there was no ...

Direct visualization of quantum dots reveals shape of quantum wave function. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2020 / 11 / 201123161011.htm ...

But when quantum particles interact, their wave functions overlap and can become entangled. They share a unified quantum state, a single wave function that describes both particles simultaneously.

Take seriously quantum theory’s higher-dimensional models, and we could make sense of the strange, "spooky" phenomenon of entanglement and restore some order to cause and effect. Wavefunction realism ...

Some quantum ontologies try to explain non-locality using a high-dimensional wave function. But Professor of Philosophy of Science, Valia Allori argues we need to bring our theories back down to three ...

Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have now achieved the first direct visualization of quantum dots in bilayer graphene, revealing the shape of the quantum wave function of the trapped electrons. The ...
