Broglie in a sentence

A bold proposition by Louis de Broglie in 1924 led the scientific community to realize that electrons also exhibited wave–particle duality.

A sodium atom traveling at about 30,000 m/s would have a De Broglie wavelength of about 50 pico meters.

Asprey, p. 274. This created tension between Broglie and the Bavarian commanders.

As such, this theory is not, strictly speaking, a formulation of the de Broglie–Bohm theory.

Below is an illustration of wave–particle duality as it relates to De Broglie's hypothesis and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (above), in terms of the position and momentum space wavefunctions for one spinless particle with mass in one dimension.

Both Broglie and Noailles were now on the strict defensive behind the Rhine.

By the time of Klein's contribution, the discoveries of Heisenberg, Schrodinger, and de Broglie were receiving a lot of attention.

Collapse of the universal wavefunction never occurs in de Broglie–Bohm theory.

Collapse of the wavefunction De Broglie–Bohm theory is a theory that applies primarily to the whole universe.

Constant potential Animation of a de Broglie wave incident on a barrier.

David Bohm, dissatisfied with the prevailing orthodoxy, rediscovered de Broglie's pilot wave theory in 1952.

De Broglie became a member of the Académie des sciences in 1933, and was the academy's perpetual secretary from 1942.

De Broglie–Bohm theory was widely deemed unacceptable by mainstream theorists, mostly because of its explicit non-locality.

De Broglie himself had proposed a pilot wave construct to explain the observed wave-particle duality.

De Broglie's formula was confirmed three years later for electrons (which differ from photons in having a rest mass ) with the observation of electron diffraction in two independent experiments.

De Broglie thus created a new field in physics, the mécanique ondulatoire, or wave mechanics, uniting the physics of energy (wave) and matter (particle).

De Broglie was awarded a post as counselor to the French High Commission of Atomic Energy in 1945 for his efforts to bring industry and science closer together.

De Broglie won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1929, after the wave-like behaviour of matter was first experimentally demonstrated in 1927.

For example, the de Broglie wavelength of a tennis ball is insignificantly small, so classical physics is a good approximation to use in this case.

H. Dieter Zeh comments on these "empty" branches: David Deutsch has expressed the same point more "acerbically": According to Brown & Wallace the de Broglie-Bohm particles play no role in the solution of the measurement problem.
