The fuzzy quantum shape that describes the speed or location of a single particle, its wave function, has now been directly measured in the laboratory, giving this mathematical concept a small dose of ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!

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. In practice, the ...

Representing images in ways other than pixels allows for powerful processing. This subject, based on signal processing, requires a mathematical fluency to understand the concepts fully. Many software ...

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 ...
