Quantum mechanics and free will: counter-arguments
Since quantum mechanics (QM) was formulated, many voices have claimed this to be the basis of free will in the human beings. Basically, they argue that free...
Quantum statistical corrections on the enhancement factor in solar fusion reactions
The enhancement factor to the thermonuclear reaction rate in the center of the Sun is calculated using the Feynman-Kac path integral of the grand-canonical...
Quantum well intermixing in AlInGaAs QW structures through the interdiffusion of group III atoms
In this paper, the composition profiles within intermixed AlInGaAs-based multiple quantum wells structure are analyzed by secondary ion mass spectrometry and...
Quasar clustering at intermediate redshift - Analysis of systematics and of luminosity effects
We measure the clustering of over 55,000 quasars at redshifts 2.2 z 3.4 drawn from the final sample of the Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS)...
Quasar microlensing: Revolutionizing our understanding of quasar structure and dynamics
Microlensing in strong-lens systems with quasars provides a unique detailed view of the internal structure of active black holes to the scale of nano-...
Most of the questions in this chapter deal with sources that do not show the "classical" broad emission-line spectrum that characterizes the majority of known...
Quasars Do Not Live in Merging Systems: No Enhanced Merger Rate at z≲0.8
We tackle the long-standing question “what is the relevance of major mergers and interactions as triggering mechanisms for AGN activity?” We study a sample of...
