  2. Paul Davies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Davies

    Davies' research interests are theoretical physics, cosmology and astrobiology; his research has been mainly in the area of quantum field theory in curved spacetime.His notable contributions are the so-called Fulling–Davies–Unruh effect, [5] according to which an observer accelerating through empty space will be subject to a bath of induced thermal radiation, and the Bunch–Davies vacuum ...

  3. The Secrets of Quantum Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secrets_of_Quantum_Physics

    The Secrets of Quantum Physics is a two-part British television series outlining the theories of quantum mechanics and quantum biology, described as "a brilliant guide" to a "jaw-dropping world". It is narrated and presented by Jim Al-Khalili .

  4. Quantum fluctuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_fluctuation

    3D visualization of quantum fluctuations of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) vacuum [1]. In quantum physics, a quantum fluctuation (also known as a vacuum state fluctuation or vacuum fluctuation) is the temporary random change in the amount of energy in a point in space, [2] as prescribed by Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

  5. Carl M. Bender - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_M._Bender

    [1] [13] Bender has often given public talks on a number of areas including quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, black holes, global warming, the rumbling of thunder, and theoretical physics. He is an expert on lower-dimensional quantum field theories, which he refers to as "country-style quantum physics".

  6. Matrix mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_mechanics

    In quantum mechanics, the quantum analog G is now a Hermitian matrix, and the equations of motion are given by commutators, = [,]. The infinitesimal canonical motions can be formally integrated, just as the Heisenberg equation of motion were integrated, A ′ = U † A U {\displaystyle A'=U^{\dagger }AU} where U = e iGs and s is an arbitrary ...

  7. Quantum Leap (1989 TV series) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Leap_(1989_TV_series)

    Quantum Leap is an American science fiction television series, created by Donald P. Bellisario, that aired on NBC for five seasons, from March 26, 1989, to May 5, 1993. The series stars Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett, a physicist who, believing he has invented a way to travel through time, voluntarily subjects himself to an experiment that he believes will prove the validity of his ...

  8. John Archibald Wheeler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Archibald_Wheeler

    "How does something arise from nothing?", he asked about the existence of space and time. [86] [87] He also coined the term "Participatory Anthropic Principle" (PAP), a version of a Strong Anthropic Principle. [88] In 1990, Wheeler suggested that information is fundamental to the physics of the universe.

  9. Edward Tryon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Tryon

    According to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, an apparent vacuum with no matter can support vacuum fluctuations. At the quantum level, because of the uncertainty principle, the law of the conservation of energy can be broken for just a brief moment, causing virtual particles to pop in and out of existence. Tryon says virtual ...
