Introduction to quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics is a physical science dealing with the behaviour of matter and energy on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles / waves. It also forms the basis for the contemporary ... > more -
Quantum computer
A quantum computer is any device for computation that makes direct use of distinctively quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. In a ... > more -
Radiant energy
Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves. The term is most commonly used in the fields of radiometry, solar energy, heating and lighting, but is also used less frequently in other fields ... > more -
Resonance (chemistry)
Resonance in chemistry is a tool used (predominately in organic chemistry) to represent certain types of molecular structures. Resonance is a key component of valence bond theory and arises when no ... > more -
Magnetic field
In physics, a magnetic field is that part of the electromagnetic field that exerts a force on a moving charge. A magnetic field can be caused either by another moving charge (i.e., by an electric ... > more -
Plasma (physics)
In physics and chemistry, a plasma is an ionized gas, and is usually considered to be a distinct phase of matter. "Ionized" in this case means that at least one electron has been dissociated from a ... > more -
Electromagnetic spectrum
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible electromagnetic radiation. Above infrared in frequency comes visible light. This is the range in which the sun and stars similar to it emit ... > more
