Prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) and their discrete counterparts – the discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (DPSSs) – have emerged as essential tools in the analysis of band‐limited ...

Results for the limiting screening number as N → ∞ of an electron in the (nl) radial wave function of an atom with atomic number N, are extended to configurations including (4s), (4p) and (4d) ...

Quantum mechanics is a pillar of modern science and technology, and has benefited the human society for a century. The wave function, also known as the quantum state, is the description of a quantum ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists think that our universe started out as just a lot of quantum fluctuations. That means, if you’re able to calculate wave-function of those quantum fluctuations, you ...

The orthodox interpretation of the quantum wave function sees it as real – as part of the physical furniture of the universe. Some even go as far as to argue that the entire universe is a quantum wave ...

Wave function: the new concentrator could be coming to a coastline near you. (Courtesy: C Li et al/Phys. Rev. Lett. (2018)) A new device that can triple the amplitude of a water wave by concentrating ...

In a plant cell, a subset of actin filaments function as a scaffold that positions the endomembrane system and acts as a substrate on which organelle motility occurs. Other actin filament arrays ...
