  2. Virtual particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_particle

    A virtual particle is a theoretical transient particle that exhibits some of the characteristics of an ordinary particle, while having its existence limited by the uncertainty principle, which allows the virtual particles to spontaneously emerge from vacuum at short time and space ranges. [1]

  3. Static variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_variable

    In computer programming, a static variable is a variable that has been allocated "statically", meaning that its lifetime (or "extent") is the entire run of the program. This is in contrast to shorter-lived automatic variables, whose storage is stack allocated and deallocated on the call stack; and in contrast to dynamically allocated objects, whose storage is allocated and deallocated in heap ...

  4. Static forces and virtual-particle exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_forces_and_virtual...

    Static force fields are fields, such as a simple electric, magnetic or gravitational fields, that exist without excitations.The most common approximation method that physicists use for scattering calculations can be interpreted as static forces arising from the interactions between two bodies mediated by virtual particles, particles that exist for only a short time determined by the ...

  5. On shell and off shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_shell_and_off_shell

    the mass–energy equivalence formula which gives the energy in terms of the momentum and the rest mass of a particle. The equation for the mass shell is also often written in terms of the four-momentum ; in Einstein notation with metric signature (+,−,−,−) and units where the speed of light c = 1 {\displaystyle c=1} , as p μ p μ ≡ p ...

  6. C dynamic memory allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_dynamic_memory_allocation

    The C programming language manages memory statically, automatically, or dynamically.Static-duration variables are allocated in main memory, usually along with the executable code of the program, and persist for the lifetime of the program; automatic-duration variables are allocated on the stack and come and go as functions are called and return.

  7. Variable (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_(computer_science)

    The different types of variables are static, stack-dynamic, explicit heap-dynamic, and implicit heap-dynamic. A static variable is also known as global variable, it is bound to a memory cell before execution begins and remains to the same memory cell until termination. A typical example is the static variables in C and C++.

  8. Virtual displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_displacement

    Constraint force C and virtual displacement δr for a particle of mass m confined to a curve. The resultant non-constraint force is N . The components of virtual displacement are related by a constraint equation.

  9. Stationary state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_state

    A harmonic oscillator in classical mechanics (A–B) and quantum mechanics (C–H). In (A–B), a ball, attached to a spring, oscillates back and forth. (C–H) are six solutions to the Schrödinger equation for this situation. The horizontal axis is position, the vertical axis is the real part (blue) or imaginary part (red) of the wavefunction.
