Generalized momentum equation of quantum mechanics
@article{Wang2016GeneralizedME, title={Generalized momentum equation of quantum mechanics}, author={Zhong-Yue Wang}, journal={Optical and Quantum Electronics}, year={2016}, volume={48}, pages={1-9} }
Like the Planck–Einstein relation E = ℏω, de Broglie’s $$ {\mathbf{p}} = \hbar {\mathbf{k}} $$p=ħk is another fundamental equation but the universal momentum formulation should be $$ {\mathbf{p}} = \hbar {\varvec{\upbeta}} $$p=ħβ. We propose the compelling evidence (vacuum Cherenkov radiation) and a new consequence which could lead to experimental checks is also worked out.

It is shown that even complex systems, with more than 1,000 internal degrees of freedom, can be prepared in quantum states that are sufficiently well isolated from their environment to avoid decoherence and to show almost perfect coherence.

It is demonstrated how synthetic chemistry allows us to prepare libraries of fluorous porphyrins which can be tailored to exhibit high mass, good thermal stability and relatively low polarizability, which allows for successful superposition experiments with selected species from these molecular libraries in a quantum interferometer, which utilizes the diffraction of matter-waves at an optical phase grating.

It is found that finite-size effects for quenched QCD are much smaller than those for full QCD, when hadron masses for the two cases are compared at the same physical lattice size and lattice spacing.
