  2. E. C. George Sudarshan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._C._George_Sudarshan

    Ennackal Chandy George Sudarshan (also known as E. C. G. Sudarshan; 16 September 1931 – 13 May 2018) [2] [3] was an Indian American [4] theoretical physicist and a professor at the University of Texas.

  3. Quantum Zeno effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Zeno_effect

    The meaning of the term has since expanded, leading to a more technical definition, in which time evolution can be suppressed not only by measurement: the quantum Zeno effect is the suppression of unitary time evolution in quantum systems provided by a variety of sources: measurement, interactions with the environment, stochastic fields, among ...

  4. Lindbladian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindbladian

    A more physically motivated standard treatment [6] [7] covers three common types of derivations of the Lindbladian starting from a Hamiltonian acting on both the system and environment: the weak coupling limit (described in detail below), the low density approximation, and the singular coupling limit. Each of these relies on specific physical ...

  5. Zeno's paradoxes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno's_paradoxes

    In 1977, [48] physicists E. C. George Sudarshan and B. Misra discovered that the dynamical evolution of a quantum system can be hindered (or even inhibited) through observation of the system. [49] This effect is usually called the "Quantum Zeno effect" as it is strongly reminiscent of Zeno's arrow paradox. This effect was first theorized in 1958.

  6. Spin–statistics theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–statistics_theorem

    The spin–statistics theorem proves that the observed relationship between the intrinsic spin of a particle (angular momentum not due to the orbital motion) and the quantum particle statistics of collections of such particles is a consequence of the mathematics of quantum mechanics.

  7. Tachyon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon

    A spaceship departs from Earth from A to C slower than light. At B, Earth emits a tachyon, which travels faster than light but forward in time in Earth's reference frame. It reaches the spaceship at C. The spaceship then sends another tachyon back to Earth from C to D. This tachyon also travels forward in time in the spaceship's reference frame.

  8. Quantum operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_operation

    This was first discussed as a general stochastic transformation for a density matrix by George Sudarshan. [1] The quantum operation formalism describes not only unitary time evolution or symmetry transformations of isolated systems, but also the effects of measurement and transient interactions with an environment.

  9. Fountas and Pinnell reading levels - Wikipedia

    Small books containing a combination of text and illustrations are then provided to educators for each level. [3] While young children display a wide distribution of reading skills, each level is tentatively associated with a school grade. Some schools adopt target reading levels for their pupils.
