The wave function—an abstract concept used to predict the behavior of quantum particles—is the bedrock on which physicists have built their understanding of quantum mechanics. But this bedrock ...

Prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) and their discrete counterparts – the discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (DPSSs) – have emerged as essential tools in the analysis of band ...

Furthermore, it was also assumed that the wave height in each wave direction has the Rayleigh distribution to propose a wave height distribution function. The Rayleigh distribution function was ...

Two different concepts of distinguishability are often mixed up in attempts to derive in quantum mechanics the (anti)symmetry of the wave function from indistinguishability of identical particles.

Knowing the wave function of such a quantum system is a challenging task—this is also known as quantum state tomography or quantum tomography in short.
