What is Quantum Spin ? #Physik_World

What is spin in quantum physics ?


Spin is an intrinsic form of angular momentum carried by particles. There are two types of spin. They are "Spin Up" and "Spin Down".

Spin up ↑ means +1/2 whereas spin down ↓ means -1/2. While spinning they exhibits magnetic properties too.
So, what about the spin of Proton and Neutron?


This concept of spin up or down leads to the phenomenon called Quantum Entanglement.

What are Hardons in Particle Physics #Physik_World

Image
Hardons Hardons are the composite particle; means particles that are made of more than one quark. Hardons are sub-divided into two types of particles called Baryons and Mesons.  Baryons: Proton and Neutron are known as baryons; means that they are made of exactly three quarks . Baryons are in the family of Hardons, which means that they are made of quark. NOTE: Composite Fermions(especially 3 quarks) in which case they are called baryons. Baryons are called composite fermions because it follows Pauli exclusion principle (half-integer spin). Mesons: The only other subcategory of Hardons is Mesons, which are made of one quark and one antiquark. NOTE: Composite bosons(especially 2 quarks) in which case they are called meson. Mesons are called composite bosons because it doesn't follow Pauli exclusion principle.(Thus have integer spin and called composite bosons).

Introduction to #Particle_Physics #Physik_World

What is Particle Physics ? You see everywhere there is patterns in the universe but if you travel inside it; you will see small particles rather than big things i.e. universe itself. So, the branch of physics that deals with the small fundamental particles is called particle physics. Particle physics studies the sub-atomic particles inside an atom. Fundamental particles means not regarded as made up of other particles like electron. But what about proton and neutron ?  Proton and neutron are elementary particles. Elementary particles means which can be sub-divided into other particles. All matter around us is made of elementary particles, the building block of matter. These particles occur in two basic types called quarks and leptons.

Quantum Decoherence

Quantum Decoherence Loss of coherence is called quantum decoherence. When wave function is linked to the outer environment or what i called wave function collapse or observer effect the nature of that system is changed. This phenomenon is known as quantum decoherence.  In quantum computer coherence should be maintain for calculations if not then there may come error.
