Resumen
La mecánica cuántica vincula el principio de incertidumbre de Heisenberg y la no localidad. El principio de incertidumbre limita cuantitativamente la no localidad cuántica, una conexión verdadera para todas las teorías físicas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La mecánica cuántica es la mecánica cuántica.
- La teoría de la información cuántica es la teoría de la información cuántica.
Sus antecedentes:
- El principio de incertidumbre de Heisenberg y la no localidad cuántica son conceptos distintos.
- La no localidad cuántica, o "acción espeluznante a distancia", describe las correlaciones entre los sistemas cuánticos.
- El principio de incertidumbre establece límites fundamentales a la precisión de las mediciones.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Demostrar un vínculo inextricable y cuantitativo entre el principio de incertidumbre y la no localidad cuántica.
- Para establecer que la mecánica cuántica no puede exceder un cierto nivel de no localidad debido al principio de incertidumbre.
- Para generalizar este vínculo a todas las teorías físicas.
Principales métodos:
- Formulación de una relación cuantitativa entre la incertidumbre y la no localidad.
- Analizando el papel de la "dirección" cuántica en la no localidad.
- Extendiendo los hallazgos más allá de la mecánica cuántica a teorías físicas generales.
Principales resultados:
- Se estableció una relación directa y cuantitativa entre el principio de incertidumbre y la no localidad.
- La no localidad cuántica está fundamentalmente limitada por la fuerza del principio de incertidumbre.
- El grado de no localidad en cualquier teoría depende de su principio de incertidumbre y propiedades de dirección.
Conclusiones:
- El principio de incertidumbre y la no localidad no son independientes sino intrínsecamente vinculados.
- Esta vinculación impone un límite fundamental a la no localidad alcanzable en la mecánica cuántica.
- Los hallazgos tienen implicaciones para la comprensión de los fundamentos de la mecánica cuántica y la teoría de la información.

04:08The Uncertainty Principle
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 mathematically...
02:32The de Broglie Wavelength
In the macroscopic world, objects that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye follow the rules of classical physics. A billiard ball moving on a table will behave like a particle; it will continue traveling in a straight line unless it collides with another ball, or it is acted on by some other force, such as friction. The ball has a well-defined position and velocity or well-defined momentum, p = mv, which is defined by mass m and velocity v at any given moment. This is the typical...
02:45The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra. Schrödinger...
00:59Propagation of Uncertainty from Random Error
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...
01:10Propagation 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 particular...
01:18Principle of Equivalence
According to Albert Einstein (1897-1955), free-falling and feeling weightless are intrinsically linked. If a person were in free-fall under gravity, for example, diving towards the Earth from an airplane, they would feel completely weightless. Similarly, a person descending in a lift may feel partially weightless. Broadly speaking, it is assumed that an object in a uniform gravitational field and an object undergoing constant acceleration in the absence of gravity are under the same...
