  2. Fidelity of quantum states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidelity_of_quantum_states

    Fidelity is symmetric in its arguments, i.e. F (ρ,σ) = F (σ,ρ). Note that this is not obvious from the original definition. F (ρ,σ) lies in [0,1], by the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality. F (ρ,σ) = 1 if and only if ρ = σ, since Ψ ρ = Ψ σ implies ρ = σ. So we can see that fidelity behaves almost like a metric.

  3. Back-of-the-envelope calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-of-the-envelope...

    In the natural sciences, back-of-the-envelope calculation is often associated with physicist Enrico Fermi, [2] who was well known for emphasizing ways that complex scientific equations could be approximated within an order of magnitude using simple calculations.

  4. Mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_formulation...

    Only in dimension d = 2 can one construct entities where (−1) 2S is replaced by an arbitrary complex number with magnitude 1, called anyons. In relativistic quantum mechanics, spin statistic theorem can prove that under certain set of assumptions that the integer spins particles are classified as bosons and half spin particles are classified ...

  5. Millennium Prize Problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems

    This quantity, easy to generalize to other fields, is what is generally measured in lattice computations. Quantum Yang–Mills theory is the current grounding for the majority of theoretical applications of thought to the reality and potential realities of elementary particle physics . [ 19 ]

  6. Mathematics of general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_general...

    Most modern approaches to mathematical general relativity begin with the concept of a manifold.More precisely, the basic physical construct representing gravitation — a curved spacetime — is modelled by a four-dimensional, smooth, connected, Lorentzian manifold.

  7. Fredholm operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fredholm_operator

    In mathematics, Fredholm operators are certain operators that arise in the Fredholm theory of integral equations.They are named in honour of Erik Ivar Fredholm.By definition, a Fredholm operator is a bounded linear operator T : X → Y between two Banach spaces with finite-dimensional kernel ⁡ and finite-dimensional (algebraic) cokernel ⁡ = / ⁡, and with closed range ⁡.

  8. Immersion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_(mathematics)

    A regular homotopy between two immersions f and g from a manifold M to a manifold N is defined to be a differentiable function H : M × [0,1] → N such that for all t in [0, 1] the function H t : M → N defined by H t (x) = H(x, t) for all x ∈ M is an immersion, with H 0 = f, H 1 = g. A regular homotopy is thus a homotopy through immersions.

  9. TI-32 Math Explorer Plus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-32_Math_Explorer_Plus

    The TI-32 Math Explorer Plus offered trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, and probability functions, and thus can be considered a true scientific calculator unlike the TI-12 Math Explorer. The Math Explorer Plus was eventually replaced by the TI-34 II Explorer Plus, which combined features of the TI-32 and TI-34, as well as incorporating a ...
