15. Feb. 2000 · Identity and Individuality in Quantum Theory. First published Tue Feb 15, 2000; substantive revision Thu Feb 29, 2024. What are the metaphysical implications of quantum physics? One way of approaching this question is to consider the impact of the theory on our understanding of objects as individuals with well defined identity conditions.
15. Apr. 2018 · Max Planck Formulates Quantum Theory. Max Planck was awarded the Nobel Prize for his noted physics researches. In 1900, German theoretical physicist Max Planck revolutionized the field of physics by discovering that energy does not flow evenly but is instead released in discrete packets. Planck created an equation to predict this phenomenon ...
19. März 2019 · Einstein discovered the special theory of relativity by studying the laws of electromagnetism, laws which were already relativistic. 1 There are hints that electromagnetism may also have held within it the seeds of quantum mechanics, though quantum mechanics was not discovered by cultivating those seeds.
Quantum theory is a theory of matter ; or more precisely it is a theory of the small components that comprise familiar matter. The ordinary matter of tables and chairs, omelettes and elephants is made up of particles, like electrons, protons and neutrons. Quantum theory provides us our best account of these particles.
“The book is intended as the main text for an undergraduate course on the foundations of quantum physics, but it would also serve well as a supplemental text in a regular undergraduate quantum mechanics course. … Reading this book should be a priority for all physicists who want to deepen their understanding of their most fundamental theory.” (Jean Bricmont, Physics Today, April, 2018)
28. Apr. 2023 · Quantum theory is about to turn 100. Together with general relativity, it has defined the physics of the twentieth century and enabled much of the technology we use today.
5. Mai 2023 · And even if quantum theory is not adequate to that task—despite a bias in the physics community that it is possible—that would still not negate the utility of quantum theory for many other physical systems. And if the cat is replaced by some other physical system that can undergo an irreversible change, then the problem becomes finding a workable quantum model for that system.
