Quantum Mechanics of One-and-Two-Electron Atoms Edwin E. Salpeter, Hans A. Bethe
Publisher: Dover Publications

The researchers are doing this work because they want to build quantum mechanics bridges, by letting the atom being pulled apart touch adjacent atoms, forming a bridge between them. Set them each rotating with two quanta (one quantum is considered half a unit) of angular momentum (which we will call spin) so that the red ball has its spin up, while the blue ball has its spin down. Of course, such surveys are mostly just for fun — the views of a particular group of experts at one conference don't necessarily reflect the entire quantum physics community. Dividing atoms In this experiment, the researchers succeeded in keeping a single atom in two places more than 10 micrometers apart, that's a one-hundredth of a millimeter.

"The Single Electron Theory" of Eheeler and Feynman, comes to mind. Wave functions are, of course, quite real, but they are functions of the space around a mass such as an atomic nucleus; not of the electron itself. GO Quantum Mechanics of One-and-Two-Electron Atoms Author: Edwin E. A team of researchers, including members of the University of Chicago's Institute for Molecular Engineering, highlight the power of emerging quantum technologies in two recent papers published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. What's more interesting than the numerical results is their diversity. These technologies exploit quantum mechanics, the physics that dominates the atomic world, to perform disparate tasks such as nanoscale temperature measurement and processing quantum information with lasers.
