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 ...

It underpins the whole theory of quantum mechanics, but does it exist? For nearly a century physicists have argued about whether the wave function is a real part of the world or just a ...

“Up to now, the mechanism behind wave function collapse has been considered a mystery that is disconnected from established wave mechanics.

But new research suggests the electron's quantum state -- the electron wave function -- can be separated into many parts. That has some strange implications for the theory of quantum mechanics.

Some interpretations of quantum mechanics propose that our entire universe is described by a single universal wave function that constantly splits and multiplies.

Take seriously quantum theory’s higher-dimensional models, and we could make sense of the strange, "spooky" phenomenon of entanglement and restore some order to cause and effect. Wavefunction realism ...

Here’s a ten-second quantum mechanics course. At a fundamental level, everything in the universe behaves like a little probability wave.

Now in quantum mechanics - or more specifically quantum field theory - forces are mediated by particles, not by the geometry of spacetime.

The classic quantum mechanics problem is a particle in a 1-D box. Here is a numerical solution to that problem.
