Shadows and Mirrors: Reconstructing Quantum States of Atom Motion

Dietrich Leibfried, Tilman Pfau, and Christopher Monroe
OpenURL
Show Topic
Quantum mechanics allows us only one incomplete glimpse of a wavefunction, but if systems can be identically prepared over and over, quantum equivalents of shadows and mirrors can provide the full picture.

Cosmic Rays, Nuclear Gamma Rays and the Origin of the Light Elements

Reuven Ramaty, Benzion Kozlovsky, and Richard Lingenfelter
OpenURL
Show Topic
Recent observations of Li, Be and B abundances in halo stars formed in the early Galaxy shed new light on the source of cosmic rays, suggesting acceleration from the ejecta of supernovae.

Quantum Theory without Observers—Part Two

Sheldon Goldstein
OpenURL
Show Topic
The paradoxes of quantum theory can be resolved in a surprisingly simple way: by insisting that particles always have positions and that they move in a manner naturally suggested by Schrödinger's equation.
