(Phys.org) —One of the cornerstones of quantum physics is the Schrödinger equation, which describes what a system of quantum objects such as atoms and subatomic particles will do in the future ...

Moreover, the Schrödinger equation is far from all-powerful. Although it does a great job modeling a hydrogen atom, the Schrödinger equation can’t yield an exact description of a helium atom!

How do you teach Schrödinger’s equation to a 15 year old? This question was originally answered on Quora by Brian Bi.

Stochastic nonlinear wave equations and Schrödinger equations represent a fascinating confluence of probability theory and the analysis of partial differential equations. By incorporating random ...

Our physics expert picks his top-five equations, plus a scheme to supply US power needs with a bucket of baseballs. Thanks, Einstein!

The universe is a fascinating tapestry of possibilities, woven from the threads of quantum mechanics. Among the most provocative ideas emerging from this field is the many-worlds interpretation (MWI), ...

From Schrodinger’s equation, you would find that the particle can only exist at certain discrete energies. This is really one of the key points of quantum mechanics (it’s the quant in quantum).

In the Schrodinger linear wave equation, say in the famous two slit experiment, each photon must, says R. Feynman, be thought of as simultaneously taking all possible paths to the photodetector ...

In a mathematically similar way, the phase information in the Schrodinger wave equation for an open quantum system can be lost into the environment.
