A scheme of theorems is developed which enables an important class of integrals of the Schrodinger Hamiltonian between antisymmetric vector-coupled functions of the Russell-Saunders type to be ...

It underpins the whole theory of quantum mechanics, but does it exist? For nearly a century physicists have argued about whether the wave function is a real part of the world or just a mathematical ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!
