How do you teach Schrödinger’s equation to a 15 year old? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the world.

A while back, [Chris Lu] was studying how analog circuits, specifically op-amps can be used to perform mathematical operations and wondered if they could be persuaded to solve differential equations, ...

The authors prove global existence of small solutions to a semilinear wave equation outside of convex obstacles. This extends results of Christodoulou and Klainerman who handled the Minkowski space ...

Dissipative wave equations constitute an extensive class of partial differential equations wherein damping terms play a pivotal role in governing the long-term dynamics of the system. Recent ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 54, No. 2 (2016), pp. 1093-1119 (27 pages) A fully discrete approximation of the semilinear stochastic wave equation driven by multiplicative noise is ...

According to quantum mechanics, the physics theory that describes the zoo of subatomic particles, all matter can be described as both particles and waves. But is it real? When you purchase through ...

It’s in your physics textbook, go look. It says that you can either model light as an electromagnetic wave OR you can model light a stream of photons. You can’t use both models at the same time. It’s ...

The Born rule, which connects the math of quantum theory to the outcomes of experiments, has been derived from simpler physical principles. The new work promises to give researchers a better grip on ...

Pressure waves propagating through bubble-containing liquids in tubes experience considerable attenuation. Researchers have now derived an equation describing this phenomenon, demonstrating that ...
