While this is extremely easy to implement on sufficiently simple theories, there are many situations where other methods of quantization yield more efficient procedures for computing quantum amplitudes.

While quantum mechanics traditionally described the world of the very small, it is also needed to explain certain recently investigated macroscopic systems such as superconductors and superfluids.

* While the seemingly " exotic " behavior of matter posited by quantum mechanics and relativity theory become more apparent when dealing with particles of extremely small size or velocities approaching the speed of light, the laws of classical Newtonian physics remain accurate in predicting the behavior of the vast majority of " large " objects ( on the order of the size of large molecules or bigger ) at velocities much smaller than the velocity of light.

While clearly contributing to the field, he did not accept many of the more " philosophical consequences and interpretations " of quantum mechanics, such as the lack of deterministic causality.

While quantum mechanics primarily applies to the atomic regimes of matter and energy, some systems exhibit quantum mechanical effects on a large scale-superfluidity, the frictionless flow of a liquid at temperatures near absolute zero, is one well-known example.

While a classical three-bit state and a quantum three-qubit state are both eight-dimensional vectors, they are manipulated quite differently for classical or quantum computation.

While the results were not surprising since gravity was known to act on everything, including light ( see tests of general relativity and the Pound-Rebka falling photon experiment ), the self-interference of the quantum mechanical wave of a massive fermion in a gravitational field had never been experimentally confirmed before.

While temporarily at the University of Copenhagen, German physicist Werner Heisenberg formulated his famous Uncertainty principle, and, with Max Born and Pascual Jordan, accomplished the first complete and correct definition of quantum mechanics, through the invention of Matrix mechanics.

While at Chicago, he took a course under the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Robert A. Millikan, which exposed him to the old quantum theory.

While these result in some contradictions and lack completeness in a mathematical sense ( being based on axioms that are " merely " self-evident, but not robust under the stresses of radical scepticism ), the paradoxes can nonetheless be analysed rationally using the subatomic applications of quantum cosmology-particularly through the employment of the Schrödinger wave equations.

While the value of α can be estimated from the values of the constants appearing in any of its definitions, the theory of quantum electrodynamics ( QED ) provides a way to measure α directly using the quantum Hall effect or the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron.

While de Broglie – Bohm theory has Lagrangians and Hamilton-Jacobi equations as a primary focus and backdrop, with the icon of the quantum potential, Bohmian mechanics considers the continuity equation as primary and has the guiding equation as its icon.

While at Berkeley, he was a member of the Fundamental Fysiks Group, founded in May 1975 by Elizabeth Rauscher and George Weissmann, which met weekly to discuss philosophy and quantum physics.

While normal modes are wave-like phenomena in classical mechanics, they have particle-like properties due to the wave – particle duality of quantum mechanics.

While there has been a recent proposal relating to observation of naked singularities, and doubly special relativity, as a part of a program called loop quantum cosmology, as of now there is no experimental observation for which loop quantum gravity makes a prediction not made by the Standard Model or general relativity ( a problem that plagues all current theories of quantum gravity ).

While generally praised for its fast gameplay and unique mechanics, it ultimately failed to gain a very large market presence.

While there have been many variations in overall focus, gameplay and features in MUDs, some distinct sub-groups have formed that can be used to help categorize different game mechanics, game genres and non-game uses.

While he is best known for the Kolmogorov – Arnold – Moser theorem regarding the stability of integrable Hamiltonian systems, he made important contributions in several areas including dynamical systems theory, catastrophe theory, topology, algebraic geometry, classical mechanics and singularity theory, including posing the ADE classification problem, since his first main result — the partial solution of Hilbert's thirteenth problem in 1957 at the age of 19.

While none of the stories has a plot or character connection with the next, a recurring theme is the conflict of the cold mechanics of technology and the psychology of people.

" While Castelnau himself dismissed this claim as " absolutely preposterous ," and the fluid mechanics of such a thing occurring literally defy the laws of physics, it remains one of the more stubborn myths about the candiru.

While the ontology of classical mechanics is part of the ontology of de Broglie – Bohm theory, the dynamics are very different.

While the game follows its own story and maps, much of the game utilizes the same game play mechanics, even going as far as adding in a " classic " mode that removed all of the game's graphics, replacing it with a wireframe environment, 8-bit-style sprites for monsters and characters, and chiptune music.

While anti de Sitter space does not correspond to gravity in general relativity with the observed cosmological constant, an anti de Sitter space is believed to correspond to other forces in quantum mechanics ( like electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force ) described via string theory.

While the second law of thermodynamics predicts that the entropy of an isolated system should tend to increase until it reaches equilibrium, it became apparent after the discovery of statistical mechanics that the second law is only a statistical one, suggesting that there should always be some nonzero probability that the entropy of an isolated system might spontaneously decrease ; the fluctuation theorem precisely quantifies this probability.
