By Christine Lavelle Candle flames contain millions of tiny diamond particles, a university professor has discovered. Research by Wuzong Zhou, a professor of chemistry at the University of St Andrews in Fife, revealed that around 1.5 million diamond nanoparticles are created in a candle flame every second it is burning. Dr Zhou used a new […]
Time-Energy Uncertainty Relation for a Quantum Clock as a Control Device
August 18, 2011
A quantum clock working as a control device is examined. The quality of the control process is characterized by the magnitude of deviation of perturbed state from unperturbed state of the controlled system. Uncertainty relations that relate the time duration of the process and energy of the clock to the quality of the control are […]
