I don't think so

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy seems to say it dosn't. I took this quote from there website http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-epr/ "Whatever their precursors, the ideas that found their way into EPR were worked out in a series of meetings with Einstein and his two...

I have always used a calculator to find the sin when the angle is given. But how would you figure this out if you didn't have a calculator

I've heard of fire balls caused by lighting that float around for a while and can pass through a window. what are these?

I'm wondering how the wave functions of two particles would evolve through time if they cross paths. Say you have an electron whose wave functon comes close to another charged particle, like an alpha particle. Now I believe if the alpha particle is well localised you can treat it has a point...

A little while ago I posted a thread asking the same question but didn't really get an answer so I am going to try to rewrite it. I'm having trouble understanding how the charge density of an electron (or any particle) is the square of its wave function. One problem I have is when there are...

I read they discoverd it by accident.

If a beam of electrons pass through a plane where the potental energy abruptly increases but not enough to classically stop the electrons, some of the beam will reflect. Was this affect, or anything like it, ever observed before it was explained by the wave model?

I heard one of the problems with quantum computers is there is not a certin output for each input, meaning there is some randomness in their computations. Can this randomness some how be reduced until it becomes negligible? My question is basicly can a quantum computer perform most of the...

This is what I guessed but when reading the Feynman lectures on physics vol 3 chapter 10 he talks about a two state system made up of two separated protons with one electron that's orbiting a different proton in each state. Now when you have a superposition of both states I would guesse the...

Correct me if I'm wrong but i think in quantum mechanics there are times when the charge of an electron is spread out in the area where its positon is uncertin, such has a ground state hydrogen atom. And there are times when even though the electrons position is unknown over a certin area the...
