Examples of "quasiparticle" in Sentences
- I suppose one could propose that quantum-capable quasiparticle waves exist within tubulins, but why in the world would one bother?
- In each experimental run, the elevated quasiparticle densities caused the wavelike entities to overlap and form condensates, the investigators say.
- In the process of this screening, both types of electrons actually clump together to form a composite object, or quasiparticle, which is very heavy.
- I suspect that if molecular non-classical data transfers and quasiparticle condensates exist, such components could also be configured to build qubits.
- In the condensate, the bosonic quasiparticle pairs are coupled to each other and can be described by a macroscopic wave function with a well defined phase.
- In short: To complete the assertion that room temperature systems cannot include quantum behaviors, a rigorous analysis of the quasiparticle issue is required.
- (by a photon or another particle), the resulting interaction between the electron and the hole left behind cannot be described as a quasiparticle (as it can in ordinary metals), because the electron excitation decays so quickly.
- For example, in both systems, when an electron at the lowest possible energy level is excited (by a photon or another particle), the resulting interaction between the electron and the hole left behind cannot be described as a quasiparticle (as it can in ordinary metals), because the electron excitation decays so quickly.
- Also, a full proof of the irrelevance of quasiparticle-mediated quantum effects in room temperature organic systems would also require a proof that quasiparticles cannot be used to construct qubits, or at least that any qubits constructed in such a fashion cannot then be linked back to the classical components of the system.
