During its teenage and young adult years—what is now referred to as its “classical” period—physics made a lot of mistakes. In the old physics, mass and energy were separately conserved; particles’ ...

Students learning quantum mechanics are taught the Schrodinger equation and how to solve it to obtain a wave function. But a ...

Quantum mechanics, or quantum physics, is the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of photons, electrons and the other subatomic particles that make up the universe. When you ...
