MIT scientists use classical physics to describe quantum behavior

news.mit.edu

MIT scientists have developed a new mathematical framework that uses classical physics principles to describe quantum phenomena. This breakthrough allows for the calculation of quantum object motion using the classical "least action" principle, yielding results identical to the Schrödinger equation for various quantum scenarios. The research bridges the gap between classical and quantum mechanics, potentially simplifying calculations for quantum computing and other complex physics problems.
