quantum theory of light
71Interpretation of quantum mechanics — An interpretation of quantum mechanics is a statement which attempts to explain how quantum mechanics informs our understanding of nature. Although quantum mechanics has received thorough experimental testing, many of these experiments are open… …
72Hidden variable theory — Historically, in physics, hidden variable theories were espoused by a minority of physicists who argued that the statistical nature of quantum mechanics indicated that quantum mechanics is incomplete . Albert Einstein, the most famous proponent… …
73Gauge theory — For a generally accessible and less technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to gauge theory. In physics, a gauge theory is a type of field theory in which the Lagrangian is invariant under a continuous group of local transformations …
74Scalar field theory — In theoretical physics, scalar field theory can refer to a classical or quantum theory of scalar fields. A field which is invariant under any Lorentz transformation is called a scalar , in contrast to a vector or tensor field. The quanta of the… …
75Kuzyk quantum gap — The Kuzyk quantum gap is a discrepancy between the maximum value of the nonlinear optical susceptibility allowed by quantum mechanics and the highest values actually observed in real molecules. The highest possible value (in theory) is known as… …
76BKS theory — The Bohr Kramers Slater (BKS) theory [N. Bohr, Collected Works, J. Kalckar, ed. North Holland, Amsterdam, etc., 1985, Vol. 5, pp. 3 216.] [J. Mehra and H. Rechenberg, The historical development of quantum theory, Springer Verlag, New York, etc.,… …
77Introduction to M-theory — In non technical terms, M theory presents an idea about the basic substance of the universe. The atom, long believed to be the smallest building block of matter, in the early years of the 20th century was proven to consist of even smaller… …
78Classical theory — has at least two distinct meanings in Physics: #In the context of quantum mechanics, classical theory refers to theories of physics that do not use the quantisation paradigm, particularly Newtonian mechanics (which is also known as classical… …
79scientific theory — noun a theory that explains scientific observations scientific theories must be falsifiable • Hypernyms: ↑theory • Hyponyms: ↑big bang theory, ↑big bang theory, ↑nebular hypothesis, ↑planetesimal hypothesis …
80International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science — The International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science is an international scientific learned society covering all applications of quantum theory to chemistry and chemical physics. It was created in Menton in 1967. The founding members were… …
