It is argued that the de Broglie wave is not the wave usually supposed, but the relativistically induced modulation of an underlying carrier wave that moves with the velocity of the particle. In the rest frame of the particle this…

Recently, there have been many attempts to implement quantum computation experimentally. For this purpose, quantum coherence should be maintained during gate operations. Therefore, the control of decoherence is a very important problem. In…
An attempt is made to explain the nature of the electric signal observed in He II in a second-sound standing wave. Using the general quantum-mechanical principles, we show that, due to interatomic interaction, each atom of He-II acquires a…
