Quantum mechanics is a probabilistic theory that does not describe individual events. Yet when we perform a single measurement, we find a well-defined outcome. This apparent contradiction, known as ...

This morning on BBC Radio 4, the mathematician Roger Penrose, physicist Basil Hiley, and philosopher Simon Saunders had a lively discussion about the “measurement problem in physics” with broadcaster ...

The real world of electronic measurements is not a nice place. Noise, interference, and unexplained offsets wreak havoc with you data acquisition. Take for example the measurement of an ultrasonic ...

Many research and productionapplications require low-level voltage measurements to characterize materialsand devices. When signal voltages approach the microvolt ...
