Hello,
So i have heard that virtual particlees just pop-in and pop-out of existence, but if a black hole is near those particlee one of the pair of the virtual particlees gets sucked in. So what happens to the other particlee?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Hawking himself presented the popular explanation of Hawking radiation in terms of virtual particles. Nevertheless this explanation is missleading b/c these are not virtual particles in the ordinary sense
 
yeah..that is what you call hawking's radiation..

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!

Thread 'Does a qubit break interference in the double slit experiment?'

According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
