Schrodingers equation is always used for the use of physics and chemistry still to this day. His equation is usually used to find the wave functions to atomic use and electrons and atoms. It also helps explain the Many worlds theory which is used for other experiments as well. The equation uses acceleration, force, and mass. However that is just the simple F=ma. That equation is only used to find what kind of force you need to use, or how much force. The equation can go really deep and long, depending what kind of equation you are trying to use and find. When trying to find Waves and particles you have to find the Mass, Time, speed, etc. Schrodingers equation was slightly more difficult where how do you find a particle, and how do you get …show more content…
Every Time there is another possibilities, that chance changes in two more chances, and so on. there is no exact probability to the cat, only dead and alive. Scientist also explain that it could shown such as a superposition. A superposition is one of the few rules of quantum mechanics. It shows how the Quantum mechanics will react to the experiment, what it will do to the atom. Will it help the atom from decaying or with it stop it. The superposition forces it to a certain level which will change the data of the experiment. The superposition explain that there is no specific state the cat will go in, but it explains that it will happen simultaneously. The changing will stop until the box is open. Then all possibilities end and only the possibilities that had happened in the other states are stops. The superposition uses used a force which makes wave functions, which scientist use and look for when studying this experiment. At the University of Santa Barbara, some scientist built a program that would show how to be out and get into the superposition level. The program nearly shows it moving around and not moving around to another state. However on the computer really shows what kinds of states in it placed it. The computed found nearly five hundred different state it was possibly placed in. ("Bizarre 'Schrodinger's Cat' Comes Alive in New Experiments."

It is a generally accepted fact that Aristotle's physics and astronomy were the weakest of his areas of study. He made discoveries and developed theories in biology, ethics, and drama that still hold a great deal of importance in those fields today. However, many of his theories and hypotheses were not disproved unitl the nineteenth century and his original concept of a uniform and consistant flow of time was accepted by Newton and still has its place in physics today. We really cannot discount the scientific contributions of a man whose ideas have survived for over 2000 years.
Living as royalty in Hungary and dividing eight-digit numbers in his head before age six, it was only a matter of time before John Von Neumann would go on to create some of the world’s most important economic theories and mathematical models (Poundstone, 1992; Burks, 1966). Neumann not only founded the study of game theory, but was also the first man to create a self-replicating machine without the use of a computer (Burks). These achievements also led to his principal membership in the Manhattan Project, one of the most globally influential scientific initiatives (Regis, 1992). John Von Neumann’s story is one of intense intellectual curiosity, and his achievements are nothing short of fascinating.
We went on a walk and saw a cat; the cat was green. The green, fluffy cat waddled around the yard. Fred, was chasing a mouse through the yard; Fred was panting when he stopped. The mouse, Marty, ran faster than the green cat: without thinking he ran into the barn door! Fred said, “Dangit! You’re lucky this time Marty.” As Fred stalked Marty in a cat-like way, Marty had ran out the back door. Since Marty was faster, he kept running circles around Fred, to taunt him. Fred started getting dizzy, so he decided to lay down and give up. When Fred laid down and finally fell asleep, Marty decided to sit on him. Marty’s small presence didn’t make a big difference; they both fell asleep.

It can only explain how nature works by observing the effects on material objects. In his book In Search of Schrödinger's Catch. 8, Gribbin suggests the possibility that no particle is real until it is observed. The act of observation collapses the wave function so that one of a number of ghost particles becomes a real particle. This idea has similarities with idealism and its appearance and reality arguments. Gribbin does not take the argument forward, so let us consider the philosophical arguments instead of the physics.
The fact that this equation is famous yet most people do not know what it means makes one wonder where its fame lies. An appropriate answer to this question lies in the numerous application of this equation in nature. Most of these people come face to face with these applications in real life and relate it to Einstein. No wonder mass-energy equivalence is famous yet most people do not have details about it.
Werner Heisenberg was the first to realize that certain pairs of measurements have an intrinsic uncertainty associated with them. For instance, if you have a very good idea of where something is located, then, to a certain degree, you must have a poor idea of how fast it is moving or in what direction. We don't notice this in everyday life because any inherent uncertainty from Heisenberg's principle is well within the acceptable accuracy we desire. For example, you may see a parked car and think you know exactly where it is and exactly how fast it is moving. But would you really know those things exactly? If you were to measure the position of the car to an accuracy of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter, you would be trying to measure the positions of the individual atoms which make up the car, and those atoms would be jiggling around just because the temperature of the car was above absolute zero!
Albert Einstein provided a significant and powerful confirmation, in 1905, that atoms and molecules actually exist through his analysis of Brownian motion. One of Albert Einstein 's most known contributions is the mass Energy equivalents equation. The energy equivalence equation is E = MC2 or Energy = Mass x (speed of light)2. this equation states that a little mass can generate quite a bit of energy, Because the mass is being multiplied times the speed of light which is being squared. The speed of light in vacuum is equal to 300,000 kilometers per second. Einstein also contributed greatly to the photoelectric effect. He saw that if you shine a light on metal it release electrons. Because of this Einstein said that light is made up of individual particles of energy called quanta. He theorized that when quanta hit the metal, the energy from it was transferred to the electrons giving the electrons enough energy to escape the nucleus is of the atoms in the metal. One of the other things Einstein is known for is Einstein 's theory of special relativity. Einstein began to wonder how to resolve Newton 's laws of motion with Maxwell 's equations of light. He solve this by imagining how the world would look if he could travel at the speed of light. He began to think that if you move towards a ray of light as it approaches you or if you move away from a ray lights, the ray of light would still be moving at the exact same speed no matter what. The ray of light will always move at the speed of light. It does not matter if you are moving towards the light or away from the light will meet you at the same time no matter what. Einstein then concluded that time, length, and mass depend on the speed we are moving at. In other words the closer you are to the speed of light the bigger the difference you see in the quantities compared to someone moving
At the beginning of the 20th century Quantum Mechanics theory was established. It starts with the discovery of electromagnetic [EM] energy quantization by Max Plank (1900) [1] needed to explain black body radiation distribution as a function of frequency and temperature. He explained it by a model where resonators (latter identified as harmonic oscillators) can emit radiation only by quanta of energy. Later Bohr [2] found the Quantum Mechanical model for the Hydrogen atom, using Planck’s constant as a measure for angular momentum quantization. An important concept in his work was the correspondence principle. According to this principle the quantum mechanical results should coincide with classical calculation at large quantum numbers.
... the quadratic formulae. He further elaborated the significance of mathematics to physics by explaining its relationship with the physics axioms. His achievements were rewarded well by various bodies, evidenced by the honorary awards that he won.
The modern theory of quantum mechanics was born in the 1920’s. Quantum mechanics is a mathematical framework or set of rules for the construction of physical theories and is the foundation of the quantum computer. It is an indispensable part of science and has been applied to the structure of the atom, nuclear fusion in stars, superconductors, the structure of DNA, and the elementary particles of nature (Nielsen 2).
Worth to mention, quantum mechanics uses Planck’s constant in all the above equations to give a solution to the problem rise by classical physics. Planck’s constant is very small and only makes a difference about 34th decimal place however it gives a precise result not an average as Newton’s law suggests.
The ideas that formed the basis of these experiments came about from previous research by scientists such as Albert Einstein and Heisenberg. This essay will explore the research done on this subject, the theories behind it, and the possible applications.
In order to understand the benefits and challenges one must understand what a quantum computer is; and the difference between classical and quantum computers. Classical computers use bits; a bit can be represented as either 0 or 1. Vedral states that the value of a bit in computing is determined by the electrical charge being passed through the bit; 0 being the absence and 1 being the presence. The bits are physically represented each by their own transistor; when used in combined computation, logical statements can be used. The rate at which bits are switched in a cycle per second is the clock rate; the faster the clock rate the more computations that can be done per second. According to Hagar, Quantum computing is based on the ideas and practices of physics, quantum mechanics, computer science, and mathematics. A quantum bit commonly referred to as a qubit can not only be in the classical states of 0 or 1, but can also observe what is known in quantum physics and mechanics is known as superposition; the state of being both 0 and 1 at the exact same time (Deutsch, David, and Ekert). A qubit’s super positioned state is usually set by manipulating and utilizing the properties of atomic and subatomic particles (O’Carroll). Skylar Frink states that this super positioned state will allow for faster computations compared to classical computers because but is also much harder to keep a qubit that is in a super positioned state stable (20-21).
