    Will two lasers deliver exactly double the heating?

    Hi, For superposition of beams of EM waves, the energy will be re-distributed in the space. So, a dark spot can have 0 energy.

    Quantum Computing: Difference vs Normal Computers

    Hi, In any form of computation, there is a physical construct behind it. The fundamental difference between quantum computing and classical computing is due to the different structure used. For example, in classical computing, a bit can be represented by a transistor. Physical quantities(like...

    Integrate e^x^2 + 2e^x^2x^2: Solution Explained

    I am not sure what you exactly mean by ##u,v,du,dv##. To put it more clearly, $$\int e^{x^2} \, dx=(e^{x^2})\int 1\ dx-\int x\frac{d(e^{x^2})}{dx} dx$$

    Integrate e^x^2 + 2e^x^2x^2: Solution Explained

    You may use integration by parts on the first term. $$\int e^{x^2} \, dx=xe^{x^2}-\int x(2xe^{x^2}), dx$$ The equation above is sufficient for your problem. Hope it helps.

    I Time evolution of a wave function

    Hi Truecrimson, I did not fully understand what you mean by decoherence. I googled a bit, but could not understand clearly. Can you elaborate on this point or provide me a source to understand your point? Thank you

    I Time evolution of a wave function

    Hi Andrew, I actually meant eigenvectors and not eigenvalues. My apologies. Hmmm. I understand your point. Not fully though. Can you please elaborate "the most popular interpretation"? What I intended to ask was, what does measurement mean physically? In other words, a measurement must ONLY...

    I Time evolution of a wave function

    Hi, I just completed my second year of my physics undergraduate degree. And recently did a course on Quantum Mechanics. I have a few questions regarding the basic theory and postulates, probably, because due to lack of full clarity. So, Consider a wave function ψ(x,o), which is well behaved and...

    Is Pursuing Quantum Computing Feasible with a Mechanical Engineering Background?

    Hi, I am an undergraduate student from India. Pursuing double major in Physics and Mechanical Engineering. I have completed 4 semesters(2 years) of my college. I had taken a class titled "Quantum information and computing" and it interested me a lot. I really love math and computations...
