General physics
Spinor
Physics; General physics
In mathematics and physics, in particular in the theory of the orthogonal groups (such as the rotation or the Lorentz groups), spinors are elements of a complex vector space introduced to expand the ...
Coherent states
Physics; General physics
In quantum mechanics a coherent state is the specific quantum state of the quantum harmonic oscillator whose dynamics most closely resembles the oscillating behaviour of a classical harmonic ...
S-matrix
Physics; General physics
In physics, the scattering matrix relates the initial state and the final state of a physical system undergoing a scattering process. It is used in quantum mechanics, scattering theory and quantum ...
Kochen–Specker theorem
Physics; General physics
In quantum mechanics, the Kochen–Specker theorem is a "no go" theorem proved by Simon B. Kochen and Ernst Specker in 1967.
Rabi cycle
Physics; General physics
In physics, the Rabi cycle is the cyclic behaviour of a two-state quantum system in the presence of an oscillatory driving field.
Buoyancy
Physics; General physics
The upward force on an object floating in a liquid or gas and it allows a boat to float on water.
Inertia
Physics; General physics
The tendency of an object that is not moving to stay still. The greater the mass of an object is, the more inertia it has.
