How do you teach Schrödinger’s equation to a 15 year old? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the world.

Time-domain finite-difference (TDFD) method is the most dominant approach for seismic wavefield simulation. Due to the memory and computational cost of the computer, finite-difference (FD) simulations ...

Researchers at Tampere University and the University of Eastern Finland have reached a milestone in a study where they derived a new kind of wave equation, which applies for accelerating waves. The ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Reflection is described at boundaries of ...

Humans have problems with quantum mechanics. We have excellent intuition about the motion of a tennis ball tossed in the air, but what about an electron trapped in a box? The tendency is to use the ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 54, No. 2 (2016), pp. 1093-1119 (27 pages) A fully discrete approximation of the semilinear stochastic wave equation driven by multiplicative noise is ...
