A history of Quantum Mechanics Mathematical Physics index History Topics Index Version for printing It is hard to realise that the electron was only discovered a little over 100 years ago in 1897. That it was not expected is illustrated by a remark made by J J Thomson, the discoverer of the electron. He said I was told long afterwards by a distinguished physicist who had been present at my lecture that he thought I had been pulling their leg. The neutron was not discovered until 1932 so it is against this background that we trace the beginnings of quantum theory back to 1859. In 1859 Gustav Kirchhoff proved a theorem about blackbody radiation. A blackbody is an object that absorbs all the energy that falls upon it and, because it reflects no light, it would appear black to an observer. A blackbody is also a perfect emitter and Kirchhoff proved that the energy emitted E depends only on the temperature T and the frequency v of the emitted energy, i.e. E J T v He challenged physicists to find the function J In 1879 Josef Stefan proposed, on experimental grounds, that the total energy emitted by a hot body was proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. In the generality stated by

F. von Weizsaecker is reviewed, and the philosophical consequences of its interpretation as an information theory are demonstrated by means of some important concepts of physics such as time, space, entropy, energy, and matter, which in ur theory appear to be directly connected with information as ''the'' fundamental substance. http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9611048

Quantum Physics, abstract quant-ph/9611048 From: Holger Lyre [ view email ] Date: Tue, 26 Nov 1996 16:28:24 GMT (11kb) The Quantum Theory of Ur-Objects as a Theory of Information Authors: Holger Lyre Categories: quant-ph Comments: 11 pages Journal-ref: Int.J.Theor.Phys. 34 (1995) 1541 The quantum theory of ur-objects proposed by C. F. von Weizsaecker has to be interpreted as a quantum theory of information. Ur-objects, or urs, are thought to be the simplest objects in quantum theory. Thus an ur is represented by a two-dimensional Hilbert space with the universal symmetry group SU(2), and can only be characterized as ''one bit of potential information''. In this sense it is not a spatial but an ''information atom''. The physical structure of the ur theory is reviewed, and the philosophical consequences of its interpretation as an information theory are demonstrated by means of some important concepts of physics such as time, space, entropy, energy, and matter, which in ur theory appear to be directly connected with information as ''the'' fundamental substance. This hopefully will help to provide a new understanding of the concept of information.

129. Pythagorean Physics - Writings By Todd Matthews Kelso An axiomatic system that expands on classical mechanics rather than utilizing relativity or quantum mechanics. Variable mass. Different concept of a particle. http://home.att.net/~zei/TMKelso/index.htm

PYTHAGOREAN PHYSICS A Collection of Writings by Todd Matthews Kelso Introduction Overview Pythagorean Physics postulates the existence of a basic unit of matter, the Pythagorean atom. It deals with discreteness in favor of continuity. It considers both time and space to be absolute. Motion is a function of space and time. Unlike classical mechanics, Pythagorean Physics considers mass to be a variable and has a different concept of what a particle is. Pythagorean Physics employs an axiomatic system that incorporates both philosophy and science in order to achieve meaning. Epistemology Scientists sometimes have a difficult time understanding the limits and validity of what they think they know. Neither the theory of relativity nor quantum mechanics employs an axiomatic system that can guard against such errors. Rather, they both superimpose notions for convenience. Pythagorean Physics follows an axiomatic system that starts with definitions and proceeds step by step from there in a logical fashion that provides meaning in a way that other approaches can not. Integration of Philosophy and Science Specialization has tended to separate concepts that are really interconnected. In order to understand better how the universe works, it is necessary to understand more than just one small portion of it. A comprehensive overview that honors the interconnectedness of all existence is required. Unfortunately, particular aspects of science are becoming more and more esoteric without a broader view. It even becomes necessary at times for a scientist to accept on faith the work developed in a different area of science. This practice can add credence to ideas that should be challenged. Pythagorean Physics challenges multiple ideas from multiple disciplines.

I am a member of the Toronto high-energy theory group My goal is to understand the fundamental dynamics of quantum gravity. I study this using string theory, with applications to black holes and cosmology, and links to gauge theory and particle physics. My work to date has concentrated on problems on the gravitational side of string theory. I began with aspects of the black hole information problem, moved to entropy computations when D-brane physics arrived, developed aspects of holographic gravity/gauge dualities useful to black holes and black branes, and most recently concentrated on the search for string theoretic mechanisms for resolution of spacetime singularities. I am also interested in mechanisms for string theoretic prevention of other pathologies in spacetimes, such as regions with closed timelike curves.

Editorial Staff quick search Search Physics World Physics World March 1998 Fundamentals of quantum information Feature: March 1998 The fact that information is physical means that the laws of quantum mechanics can be used to process and transmit it in ways that are not possible with existing systems. Ever since its invention in the 1920s, quantum physics has given rise to countless discussions about its meaning and about how to interpret the theory correctly. These discussions focus on issues like the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox, quantum non-locality and the role of measurement in quantum physics. In recent years, however, research into the very foundations of quantum mechanics has also led to a new field - quantum information technology. The use of quantum physics could revolutionize the way we communicate and process information. The important new observation is that information is not independent of the physical laws used to store and processes it (see Landauer in further reading). Although modern computers rely on quantum mechanics to operate, the information itself is still encoded classically. A new approach is to treat information as a quantum concept and to ask what new insights can be gained by encoding this information in individual quantum systems. In other words, what happens when both the transmission and processing of information are governed by quantum laws?

134. Dr. Mendel Sachs On compatibility of the quantum theory and theory of general relativity by Dr. Mendel Sachs. http://www.compukol.com/mendel/

The Future of Physics? My name is Mendel Sachs. My subject is theoretical physics. I have recently become aware of this excellent means of communicating ideas to my fellow physicists. I would like to ask your indulgence in some of my thoughts about physics today. I have discovered during my professional career that in order to increase our comprehension of the material world, it is necessary to ask significant questions and then try to answer them, as completely and rigorously as possible no matter how hard this may seem to be at the outset. A "significant question" to me is one whose answer could possibly increase our understanding. Of course, there is no guarantee at the outset that the question would turn out to be significant in the final analysis. On the other hand, it is often clear when a question (that a great deal of attention may be given to) is not significant! Let me start out, then, with some questions that I believe are significant, and then try to answer them, in my view. 1) What do we presently believe are the most fundamental assertions of the laws of nature? My answer is: The bases of the quantum theory and the theory of relativity. I am not referring here to mathematical expressions of these theories; I refer to the basic concepts that underlie these expressions. If you do not agree with this answer, or those to the questions below, please respond with your own views.

Editorial Staff quick search Search Physics World Physics World December 1999 Quantum theory: weird and wonderful Feature: December 1999 Quantum mechanics is the most accurate theory we have to describe the world, but there is still much about it that we do not fully understand. Quantum mechanics is a great deal more than a theory; it is a whole new way of looking at the world. When it was developed in the 1920s, quantum mechanics was viewed primarily as a way of making sense of the host of observations at the level of single electrons, atoms or molecules that could not be explained in terms of Newtonian mechanics and Maxwellian electrodynamics. Needless to say, it has been spectacularly successful in this task. Around 75 years later, as we enter the new millennium, most physicists are confident that quantum mechanics is a fundamental and general description of the physical world. Indeed, serious attempts have been made to apply quantum ideas not merely to laboratory-scale inanimate matter but also, for example, to the workings of human consciousness and to the universe as a whole. Yet despite this confidence, the nagging questions that so vexed the founding fathers of quantum theory - and which many of them thought had finally been laid to rest after years of struggle - have refused to go away. Indeed, as we shall see, in many cases these questions have returned to haunt us in even more virulent forms. It is probably fair to say that, in the final years of this century, interest in the foundations of quantum mechanics is more widespread, and more intellectually respectable, than at any time since the invention of quantum theory.

Clougherty (Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Professor of Physics Background: Dr. Clougherty received his S.B. degrees in Physics and Electrical Engineering , his S.M. degree in Electrical Engineering , and his Ph.D. in Physics from MIT . He was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Physics University of California-Santa Barbara with Professor Walter Kohn 1998 Nobel laureate ), and he has had visiting appointments at MIT University of California-San Diego ITAMP at Harvard University , and the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara. He joined the faculty of the University of Vermont in 1992. Research: Theoretical condensed matter physics Condensed matter physics broadly concerns the study of the properties of solids and liquids. Research in condensed matter physics theory attempts to elucidate the connection between microscopic laws and macroscopic behavior. The richness and complexity of the properties of matter we observe stem from interactions between the large numbers of degrees of freedom in the microscopic system. This is also the primary source of difficulty in analyzing such systems. Dr. Clougherty's research in theoretical condensed matter physics focuses on the dynamics of quantum systems with application to electronic, magnetic, optical, structural, and thermal properties of nanoscale materials (e.g. fullerene-derived solids and carbon nanotubes). His basic research also includes: the investigation of low energy scattering of atoms and molecules from surfaces and systems with many internal degrees of freedom (quantum sticking and quantum reflection); and the development of new methods for studying quantum many-body systems, such as new extensions of density functional theory to
