What is the difference between quantum physics and quantum mechanics?
Q. Are they synonyms? What would you expect to study on a college course called quantum physics? And in one called quantum mechanics?
Asked by yosoyelkoch - Wed Apr 22 11:26:30 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yes they are synonyms. If a school offered two courses with those names, I'd read the course catalog to see what the course includes. One might be for physics majors and introduce how to DO quantum mechanics. The other might be for "laypeople" and just teach ABOUT quantum mechanics--a much less rigorous proposition. My undergraduate quantum physics series was called "Physics of the atom".

A. The Bohr model of the atom gives the energy of energy level, n as E = -13.6/n (in eV). Hence E = -22.79x10^-19/n (in J.) Substituting: n = sqrt[-22.79x10^-19 / -5.445x10^-19] = 2.05 (to 3 s.f.) As n is defined as an integer in the formula, n = 2.

A. Ph.D. degrees in Physics are among the most versatile degrees you can obtain. Some people choose to stay in academia after they finish their degree, but many go into industry and get high-level, high-pay jobs. Quantum Physics is not a Ph.D. degree area on itself. You will use the Quantum theory in many different aspects of your education and research, but you will need to specialize in a better-defined subject, such as Condensed Matter, Particle Physics, String Theory, Nuclear Physics, Thermal Physics, etc.

A. There are two big questions that relate to quantum theory and consciousness. One is the scale of basic units of consciousness, are they small enough to be subject to quantum influence? The current science seems to say yes, thought and memory originate at a scale that is subject to quantum effects. The second issue is the influence that awareness seems to have on quantum states, an observable property of the universe were the observer collapses the observed phenomenon into a single state rather then a fog of possibilities. If you peak, you force an outcome. This is perhaps the only thing needed to prove the existence of magic scientifically...Strange that it is so rare to find anyone aware of it...

A. Because of the Quantum Theory's extensive success correctly predicting the outcome of experiments. A theory that sounds good on paper, but cannot correctly predict the outcome of experiments isn't a very valuable theory. No other physical theory has had as much success as the Quantum Theory. It is the most successful physical theory ever devised. And yet, because of it's incompatablity with General Relativity, sooner or later something will have to give. One will have to be abandoned in preference of the other. Or, they will both be replaced by a third theory. Or, the two will be reconsiled - somehow.

What does quantum entanglement say about the significance of locality?
Q. Don't instantaneous effects over vast distances suggest that co-location is not necessarily a requirement of quantum processes? Or are there extra dimensions through which entangled particles are instantly connected? Do we need a new paradigm to explain non-local effects?
Asked by Jeff - Sun Aug 16 19:29:55 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The universe is quantum. Quantum entanglement is non-local. However, new entanglements can only be formed locally. Entanglement can not be used to send signals faster than light. It is quite possible that entanglement is an extra-dimensional effect. In other words, entanglement may be a topology issue, which is why the connection and correlation is superluminal but there is no superluminal channel of communication. We don't need a new paradigm to explain non-local effects. We already have an excellent one -- it's called quantum mechanics. The problem is that everyone is stuck in Newtonian consciousness, where non-locality can't exist. Obviously, Newtonian physics is wrong.

Asked by Evil Genius - Wed Sep 24 18:44:03 2008 - - 1 Answers - 2 Comments
A. In quantum field theory, there are two kinds of "state" for a particle. One is real, the other is virtual. Vacuum is filled with virtual particles. Now, for the case of electromagnetism, the quantum field theory is called QED (quantum electrodynamics). The QED treats a static potential as a virtual photon field. The force a charged particle experiences under this potential may then be explained by interactions between the particle and these virtual photons.

A. To study Quantum Mechanics properly a solid foundation in calculus and algebra is required. Good introductory texts I've used and own (physicist) are: Introductory Quantum Mechanics, R.L.

What are some of the experiments taking place for studying gravity at the quantum mechanical level?
Q. About a year or two ago I recall reading about some experiments for measuring the energy transitions of subatomic particles falling through a gravitational field. The experiments proved that gravity, like other forces, is quantized at the subatomic scale. Can anyone recount the details of those studies? Since we no longer fund new accelerators in United States perhaps experiments to study quantum gravity should become our next great goal for physics research funding?

A. The experiments at the large hadron collider in Geneva are focused on discovering the Higgs Boson, a theoretical particle that would explain connections between mass, inertia and gravity. However, many suspect that gravity is not quantized and there are no particle interactions of this force, that gravity is a result of spacetime perterbation, as in Einstiens relativity.
