But new research suggests the electron's quantum state -- the electron wave function -- can be separated into many parts. That has some strange implications for the theory of quantum mechanics.

The simultaneous use of both methods reveals how the two electrons are correlated and produces an image of the square of the H 2 correlated two-electron wave function. The physicists emphasize one ...

By studying these materials, the researchers were able to observe how the geometry of electron wave functions influences ...

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 flat end is key to the device’s interferometer function. Instead of an electron tunnelling between one point in the sample and the tip, the electron wave function can tunnel across at multiple ...

Attosecond coherent control of free-electron wave functions using semi-infinite light fields. Nature Communications , 2018; 9 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-05021-x Cite This Page : ...

Instead, they propose that the quantum wave function of the electron is being divided and trapped by a bubble. This is based on the fact that when the electron first encounters the helium it can be ...
