But a new article makes the case that these quantum fluctuations actually are responsible for the probability of ... them and "collapse the wave function" in physics parlance.

The best we can do is to calculate the probability of obtaining each possible outcome, according to what’s called the Born rule: The wave function assigns an “amplitude” to each measurement outcome, ...

Probability concept in physics entered into statistical physics and quantum ... catastrophe scientist Rene Thom advanced curvature interpretations of ψ function and entropy according to differential ...

Lecture Notes in Physics (LNP) was already founded in 1969 ... of Classical Particles Green’s Functions of Classical Fields Green’s Functions and Plane Wave Scattering Probability Experiments and ...

More information: On the reality of the quantum state, Nature Physics (2012) doi:10.1038/nphys2309 Quantum states are the key mathematical objects in quantum theory. It is therefore surprising ...

Electron energy probability functions (eepfs) have been measured along the axis of a low pressure plasma expanding in a magnetic nozzle. The eepf at the maximum magnetic field of the nozzle shows a ...

One of the consequences of quantum fluctuations is that every collapsing wave function ... from quantum physics, such as the mass of a neutrino, an electrically neutral subatomic particle. "Don Page ...
