quantum interference

[ˈkwɒntəm ˌɪntərˈfɪrəns]
nounfemininepl: interferências quânticas
interferência quântica
1. A phenomenon in quantum mechanics where the probability amplitudes of different quantum paths combine, resulting in constructive or destructive interference patterns that affect the likelihood of different outcomes
Quantum interference occurs when an electron can take multiple paths simultaneously, and the wave functions of these paths interfere with each other.
A interferência quântica ocorre quando um elétron pode seguir múltiplos caminhos simultaneamente, e as funções de onda desses caminhos interferem uma com a outra.
2. The basis for many quantum mechanical phenomena and technologies, including the double-slit experiment, quantum computing, and quantum sensors
Quantum interference is essential for understanding the behavior of particles at the subatomic level.
A interferência quântica é essencial para entender o comportamento das partículas no nível subatômico.
Quantum interference is a fundamental concept in modern physics, central to quantum mechanics research and quantum technology development. Both American and Brazilian scientific communities use the same technical terminology, reflecting the universal nature of physics. This term is primarily used in academic, research, and educational contexts rather than in everyday language.
