The end result is a very ‘crisp’ image of a hydrogen atom’s wave function magnified more than 20,000 times. Per the image release, in the image on the left, we see examples of four atomic ...

The wave function is a representation of all the possible quantum states of a particle. Until the particle is measured, causing the wave function to "collapse," that matter really does exist with ...

Regarding collapse of a wave function ... You don’t experience quantum weirdness in your everyday lives, so it takes some work to concoct an example where it shows up.

What you’re looking at is the first direct observation of an atom’s electron orbital — an atom’s actual wave function! To capture the image, researchers utilized a new quantum microscope ...

The wave function, meanwhile, evolves over time, ... The best-known example of a nonlocal effect—one that Einstein himself considered, ...

By Eugenie Samuel Reich of Nature magazine. At the heart of the weirdness for which the field of quantum mechanics is famous is the wavefunction, a powerful but mysterious entity that is used to ...

The fuzzy quantum shape that describes the speed or location of a single particle, its wave function, has now been directly measured in the laboratory, giving this mathematical concept a small ...
