  2. Channel 5 (web series) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_5_(web_series)

    Channel 5 (also known as "Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan" on YouTube) is an American digital media company and web channel, billed as a "digital journalism experience." [ 2 ] The show is a spinoff of the group's previous project, All Gas No Brakes , which was itself based on the book of the same name.

  3. Loop quantum gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_quantum_gravity

    A spin network state assigns an amplitude to a set of spin half particles tracing out a path in space, merging and splitting. These are described by spin networks γ {\displaystyle \gamma } : the edges are labelled by spins together with 'intertwiners' at the vertices which are prescription for how to sum over different ways the spins are rerouted.

  4. Plate trick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_trick

    In mathematics and physics, the plate trick, also known as Dirac's string trick (after Paul Dirac, who introduced and popularized it), [1] [2] the belt trick, or the Balinese cup trick (it appears in the Balinese candle dance), is any of several demonstrations of the idea that rotating an object with strings attached to it by 360 degrees does not return the system to its original state, while ...

  5. Dirac algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_algebra

    In mathematical physics, the Dirac algebra is the Clifford algebra, ().This was introduced by the mathematical physicist P. A. M. Dirac in 1928 in developing the Dirac equation for spin-⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ particles with a matrix representation of the gamma matrices, which represent the generators of the algebra.

  6. Superstring theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstring_theory

    There are two kinds of heterotic strings differing in their ten-dimensional gauge groups: the heterotic E 8 ×E 8 string and the heterotic SO(32) string. (The name heterotic SO(32) is slightly inaccurate since among the SO(32) Lie groups , string theory singles out a quotient Spin(32)/Z 2 that is not equivalent to SO(32).)

  7. Gyromagnetic ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyromagnetic_ratio

    Spin and magnetic moment are in the same direction for γ > 0 (as for protons). Protons, neutrons, and many nuclei carry nuclear spin, which gives rise to a gyromagnetic ratio as above. The ratio is conventionally written in terms of the proton mass and charge, even for neutrons and for other nuclei, for the sake of simplicity and consistency.

  8. Gamma matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_matrices

    The defining property for the gamma matrices to generate a Clifford algebra is the anticommutation relation {,} = + = ,where the curly brackets {,} represent the anticommutator, is the Minkowski metric with signature (+ − − −), and is the 4 × 4 identity matrix.

  9. Amplitude damping channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_damping_channel

    In the theory of quantum communication, an amplitude damping channel is a quantum channel that models physical processes such as spontaneous emission.A natural process by which this channel can occur is a spin chain through which a number of spin states, coupled by a time independent Hamiltonian, can be used to send a quantum state from one location to another.
