Metaphors are always inexact; in the quantum realm they are stretched to the breaking point.
This interpretation plays an important role in the quantum theory of such processes.
As with many processes in the quantum world, this process is impossible to visualize.
Not only was the laser creating activity in the quantum dots, it was also prompting activity in the base material.
"She has done some very nice, beautiful fundamental work on what happens in the quantum world," she said.
Now we read that Tom Ford will be providing the suits for Daniel Craig in the Quantum of Solace.
And the difference between the ionizing X-ray, gamma ray region and the microwave frequency is in the quantum energy.
The pattern originated in the quantum fluctuations from the big bang, which inflation blew up to much larger sizes.
In the quantum computing experiment, the scientists performed the calculation by manipulating single atoms, the submicroscopic equivalent of abacus beads.
But in the quantum mechanical world of excited electronic states that two-photon microscopy takes advantage of, the rules change.
However, for certain changes in the quantum numbers, summarized as selection rules, there is a finite probability.
