Propagation of Uncertainty from Random Error00:59

Propagation of Uncertainty from Random Error

766
An experiment often consists of more than a single step. In this case, measurements at each step give rise to uncertainty. Because the measurements occur in successive steps, the uncertainty in one step necessarily contributes to that in the subsequent step. As we perform statistical analysis on these types of experiments, we must learn to account for the propagation of uncertainty from one step to the next. The propagation of uncertainty depends on the type of arithmetic operation performed on...

Propagation of Uncertainty from Systematic Error

The atomic mass of an element varies due to the relative ratio of its isotopes. A sample's relative proportion of oxygen isotopes influences its average atomic mass. For instance, if we were to measure the atomic mass of oxygen from a sample, the mass would be a weighted average of the isotopic masses of oxygen in that sample. Since a single sample is not likely to perfectly reflect the true atomic mass of oxygen for all the molecules of oxygen on Earth, the mass we obtain from this...

When magnetic nuclei in a sample achieve resonance and undergo relaxation, the signal detected in NMR is an approximately exponential free induction decay. Fourier transform of an exponential decay yields a Lorentzian peak in the frequency domain. Lorentzian peaks in an NMR spectrum are defined by their amplitude, full width at half maximum, and position, where the peak width is governed by the spin-spin relaxation time alone. In real experiments, however, the applied magnetic field is rendered...

The arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called its electron configuration. We describe an electron configuration with a symbol that contains three pieces of information:

It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

The Uncertainty Principle04:08

The Uncertainty Principle

23.6K
Werner Heisenberg considered the limits of how accurately one can measure properties of an electron or other microscopic particles. He determined that there is a fundamental limit to how accurately one can measure both a particle’s position and its momentum simultaneously. The more accurate the measurement of the momentum of a particle is known, the less accurate the position at that time is known and vice versa. This is what is now called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. He...

    Summary

    This erratum corrects simulation errors in Figs. 2 and 4 of a previous publication. The updated results do not alter the original conclusions of the optical letter.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Computational Physics

    Background:

    • A previous letter published in Optics Letters reported specific findings.
    • The accuracy of simulation results is critical for scientific reproducibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To correct erroneous simulation results presented in a prior publication.
    • To ensure the integrity of the scientific record regarding optical phenomena.

    Main Methods:

    • Identification of an error in the simulation code used for the original study.
    • Re-running simulations with corrected code to obtain accurate results for specific figures.

    Main Results:

    • Corrected data for Figures 2 and 4 are presented.
    • The identified errors stemmed from a flaw in the simulation methodology.
