In physics, quantum tunnelling, barrier penetration, or simply tunnelling is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which an object such as an electron or atom passes through a potential energy barrier that, according to classical mechanics, should not be passable due to the object not having sufficient energy to pass or surmount the barrier.
The rays which pass through the phase object will diffract as a function of the index of refraction of the medium and diverge as shown by the dotted lines in the figure. The objective lens collimates this light, while focusing the so-called 0-order light, that is, the portion of the beam unaltered by the phase object (solid lines).
In astrodynamics, orbit phasing is the adjustment of the time-position of spacecraft along its orbit, usually described as adjusting the orbiting spacecraft's true anomaly. [1] Orbital phasing is primarily used in scenarios where a spacecraft in a given orbit must be moved to a different location within the same orbit.
Absolute phase images are obtained if the object intersects one of a pair of coherent paths. If the two paths both pass through the object at two locations which are separated by a lateral distance d, then a phase difference image of Φ(r) - Φ(r-d) is detected. Phase stepping one of the gratings is performed to retrieve the phase images.
The phase space of a physical system is the set of all possible physical states of the system when described by a given parameterization. Each possible state corresponds uniquely to a point in the phase space. For mechanical systems, the phase space usually consists of all possible values of the position and momentum parameters.
The Deutsch-Josza algorithm, and by association the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm, determines whether an inputted function is constant (same value for all inputs) or balanced (half 0s and half 1s) using as few queries to the black box function as possible. Phase kickback is critical; when the oracle is applied to the superposition state, it ...
In each image point, the phase-shift image displays the quantified phase shift induced by the object, which is proportional to the optical thickness of the object. [10] In this way measurement of the associated optical field can remedy the halo artifacts associated with conventional phase contrast by solving an optical inverse problem to ...
In quantum optics, an optical phase space is a phase space in which all quantum states of an optical system are described. Each point in the optical phase space corresponds to a unique state of an optical system. For any such system, a plot of the quadratures against each other, possibly as functions of time, is called a phase diagram. If the ...
