Superposition is nothing more than addition for waves. Let's say we have two sets of waves that overlap in space and time. At any given point, a trough may line up with a peak, their peaks may line up ...

Wouldn't it be fascinating to live in New York and London at the same time? In the standard of everyday life, this is equivalent to daydreaming or sheer fantasy. Nevertheless, this is a perfectly ...

Red and blue: a photon of two colours has been made. (Courtesy: iStock/-strizh-) Individual photons have been put into a quantum superposition of two different colours by a team of physicists in the ...

Without more details I suspect there are no double bonds, all the electrons are shared among all the atoms in a configuration that minimizes potential energy. Organic QM is not my thing ... and I ...

Spintronics is a relatively new term derived from “spin based electronics”. Spintronics uses the spin of electrons and charge together, rather than charge alone to represent binary data values. The ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. When I teach or give talks about relativity, one of my regular angles ...
