  2. Centre for Quantum Technologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_for_Quantum...

    The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore is a Research Centre of Excellence [1] hosted by the National University of Singapore. [2] The Centre brings together physicists, computer scientists and engineers to do basic research on quantum physics and to build devices based on quantum phenomena.

  3. List of quantum field theories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_quantum_field_theories

    This is a list of quantum field theories. The first few sections are organized according to their matter content, that is, the types of fields appearing in the theory. This is just one of many ways to organize quantum field theories, but reflects the way the subject is taught pedagogically.

  4. Quantum field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory

    In theoretical physics, quantum field theory (QFT) is a theoretical framework that combines classical field theory, special relativity, and quantum mechanics. [ 1 ] : xi QFT is used in particle physics to construct physical models of subatomic particles and in condensed matter physics to construct models of quasiparticles .

  5. Contact geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_geometry

    (The restriction yields a vector field on the contact hypersurface because the Hamiltonian vector field preserves energy levels.) The dynamics of the Reeb field can be used to study the structure of the contact manifold or even the underlying manifold using techniques of Floer homology such as symplectic field theory and, in three dimensions ...

  6. Field (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(physics)

    A field can be classified as a scalar field, a vector field, a spinor field or a tensor field according to whether the represented physical quantity is a scalar, a vector, a spinor, or a tensor, respectively. A field has a consistent tensorial character wherever it is defined: i.e. a field cannot be a scalar field somewhere and a vector field ...

  7. Vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_field

    The flow field around an airplane is a vector field in R 3, here visualized by bubbles that follow the streamlines showing a wingtip vortex. Vector fields are commonly used to create patterns in computer graphics. Here: abstract composition of curves following a vector field generated with OpenSimplex noise.

  8. Fundamental vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_vector_field

    In the study of mathematics and especially differential geometry, fundamental vector fields are an instrument that describes the infinitesimal behaviour of a smooth Lie group action on a smooth manifold. Such vector fields find important applications in the study of Lie theory, symplectic geometry, and the study of Hamiltonian group actions.

  9. Quantization of the electromagnetic field - Wikipedia

    The energy content of this volume element at 5 km from the station is 2.1 × 10 −10 × 0.109 = 2.3 × 10 −11 J, which amounts to 3.4 × 10 14 photons per (). Since 3.4 × 10 14 > 1, quantum effects do not play a role. The waves emitted by this station are well-described by the classical limit and quantum mechanics is not needed.
