Utilizing Ramsey interferometry, the researchers confirmed that the phase measurement sensitivity approached the Heisenberg limit. This long-lived Schrödinger-cat state paves a new way for atomic ...

Sidney Perkowitz uncovers the pioneering work of the German physicist and philosopher Grete Hermann, who sparred with the ...

This was the second theoretical explanation of electrons in an atom, following Werner Heisenberg's matrix mechanics. Many scientists preferred Schrödinger's theory since it could be visualized ...

Explore the key moments in the history of quantum theory, from the early ideas of Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg to ...

Schrodinger’s mathematical work was able to make the same predictions as Heisenberg’s model, making them different but equivalent representations of the behaviour of electrons. For Einstein ...

In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was in Denmark working at Niels Bohr's research institute in Copenhagen. The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the ...

This module discusses how to describe the time-evolution of a quantum system. There are two equivalent methods, Schrödinger and Heisenberg pictures, where the time evolution can be obtained by the ...

Werner Heisenberg's high school years were interrupted by World War I, when he had to leave school to help harvest crops in Bavaria. Back in Munich after the war, he volunteered as a messenger for ...
