Elementary particles and forces of nature apart from gravity, an electron's point mass sits amid a cloud of virtual particles which pop in and out of existence—the sort of thing possible in the weird world of quantum mechanics. "This amplifier will redefine For example, Keith Schwab, a professor of applied physics at Caltech, is planning to use the amplifier to measure the behavior of tiny mechanical devices that operate at the boundary between classical physics and the strange world of quantum mechanics. Product Description This is an exceptionally accessible, accurate, and nontechnical introduction to quantum mechanics. And this is the strange world of quantum mechanics. Conveying that understanding is the purpose of this .. The strange world of quantum physics is well understood - well almost. Source: " The Feynman Double Slit ", David M Harrison, Dept of Physics, University of Toronto, 15/03/2006. However, the necessity of abandoning conventional ways of thinking about the world, and finding a radically new way – quantum mechanics – can be understood by any intelligent person willing to spend some time concentrating hard. Engineers design our appliances using quantum physics every day. This is a very long article but I promise that it's worth the read if you find Physics fascinating. An excellent elementary introduction to quantum mechanics is Richard Feynman's QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter . (Phys.org) —In the strange world of quantum mechanics, the vacuum state (sometimes referred to as the quantum vacuum, simply as the vacuum) is a quantum system's lowest possible energy state. Quantum Suicide and Immortality, Schrödinger's Cat and the Weird World of Quantum Mechanics. The observer collapsed the wave function simply by observing. The device can be used for everything from studying stars, galaxies, and black holes to exploring the quantum world and developing quantum computers. Due to a strange quantum mechanical duality, Jerry is both in Germany today, and in Wheaton, IL.
