Trapping ultracold atoms with laser light let researchers magnify and then image the wave functions of atoms that were ...

In 1931, Harvey Elliott White developed a device that traced out the shapes of electron clouds by approximating solutions to ...

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists think that our universe started out as just a lot of quantum fluctuations. That means, if you’re able to calculate wave-function of those quantum fluctuations, you ...

Prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) and their discrete counterparts – the discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (DPSSs) – have emerged as essential tools in the analysis of band‐limited ...
