    Originally reported in Nature in 1955 [10] and later. Diamond synthesis was later determined to be impossible with the apparatus. Subsequent analysis indicated that the first gemstone (used to secure further funding) was natural rather than synthetic. Artificial diamonds have since been produced. [11]

  3. List of hypothetical particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hypothetical_particles

    Higgs doublets are hypothesized by some theories of physics beyond the standard model. Continuous spin particle are hypothetical massless particles related to the classification of the representations of the Poincaré group. Cryptons, any particle from the dark sector of string theory landscape. Elementary particles that are not bosons or fermions:

  4. Quantum error correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_error_correction

    That these codes allow indeed for quantum computations of arbitrary length is the content of the quantum threshold theorem, found by Michael Ben-Or and Dorit Aharonov, which asserts that you can correct for all errors if you concatenate quantum codes such as the CSS codes—i.e. re-encode each logical qubit by the same code again, and so on, on ...

  5. End correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_correction

    An acoustic pipe, such as an organ pipe, marimba, or flute resonates at a specific pitch or frequency. Longer pipes resonate at lower frequencies, producing lower-pitched sounds. The details of acoustic resonance are taught in many elementary physics classes. In an ideal tube, the wavelength of the sound produced is directly proportional to the ...

    The press release, made from the 25th International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics in Kyoto, states that the original OPERA results were wrong, due to equipment failures. [3] On July 12, 2012, OPERA updated their paper by including the new sources of errors in their calculations.

  7. Cosmological constant problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant_problem

    In cosmology, the cosmological constant problem or vacuum catastrophe is the substantial disagreement between the observed values of vacuum energy density (the small value of the cosmological constant) and the much larger theoretical value of zero-point energy suggested by quantum field theory.

  8. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables ⁡ (+) = ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...

    For example, an experimental uncertainty analysis of an undergraduate physics lab experiment in which a pendulum can estimate the value of the local gravitational acceleration constant g. The relevant equation [ 1 ] for an idealized simple pendulum is, approximately,
