Quantum potential
In quantum mechanics, the quantum potential would connect all elementary particles and thereby enable contact between these particles without loss of time.
Explanation
The quantum potential is a term within the Schrödinger equation which acts to guide the movement of quantum particles
where
ℏ Reduced Planck constant m Inertial mass ∇2R Kinetic energy R Amplitude of the wave function
It is the physical interface between particle and wave field and its role is to channel energy from field to particle and back.
HistoryThe quantum potential was proposed in 1952 by the American physicist David Bohm. |
