In Quantum Mechanics we define Quantum Systems by using the wavefunction (Ψ), which is a vector. For example :- |Ψ> = a |0> + b |1> + c |2> …… Here what we write in “ket” notation (|>) are the possible quantum states and their coefficients are the probabilities for the particular states; these coefficients are complex numbers.
Forces or interactions are necessary for any change that takes place. From preventing atoms from collapsing to stabilising a star through fusion reactions, everything is a consequence of interactions between particles. In order for two particles to interact with each other there must be some “driving” or “mediating” particle that carries out the interaction. Such mediating particles are known as force carriers or bosons
A qubit -- short for quantum bit -- is a unit of quantum information and has 2 orthogonal basis states i.e. it can be compared with the Hilbert space (H) with an orthonormalized basis states zero and one. Thus, in the general case, the qubit state is a superposition of states zero and one taken with complex coefficients.
In this article I will be giving you an insight into the Fourier Transform. We’ll be talking about the definition of The Fourier Transform later, first let’s talk about periodicity. Now what exactly is periodicity, it is the tendency of a particular phenomena to repeat at regular intervals. Periodicity is associated with symmetry.
A high energy particle was recently spotted over Antarctica and according to the scientists the particle blasted up through the ice of Antarctica setting off the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), several other particles like this were also detected. These particles looked like ultra high energy neutrinos; however, ultra high energy neutrinos should not be able to pass through the Earth. In order to explain this there was a theory that these particles belonged to a parallel universe where things were the opposite of our universe: time moves backwards, left is right, and up is down.
“What is matter made of ?” was the question that was keeping our ancient Greek and Indian philosophers up at night, until the origin of atomic theory. This theory is said to have been introduced by philosophers Leucippus and Democritus in Greece (around 5th Century BC) and is also said to have origins in ancient India. Then with time both experimental and theoretical proof led to the speculation regarding the existence of atoms and molecules and in the late 19th Century atoms were finally defined.
In April 2021, Fermilab announced some rather interesting results regarding the *anomalous magnetic moment* and the *g factor* of a muon. The g factor and the anomalous magnetic moment for an electron is known to extraordinary precision and the QED prediction agrees with the experimentally measured value to more than 10 significant figures, making it the most accurately verified prediction in the history of physics.
