22uncertainty — /ʌnˈsɜtnti/ (say un sertntee) noun (plural uncertainties) 1. an uncertain state or mood. 2. unpredictability; indefiniteness. 3. something uncertain …
23uncertainty — The state or quality of being unknown or vague. Such vagueness, obscurity, or confusion in any written instrument, e.g., a will, as to render it unintelligible to those who are called upon to execute or interpret it, so that no definite meaning… …
24Coherent state — In quantum mechanics a coherent state is a specific kind of quantum state of the quantum harmonic oscillator whose dynamics most closely resemble the oscillating behaviour of a classical harmonic oscillator system. It was the first example of… …
25HISTORICAL SURVEY: THE STATE AND ITS ANTECEDENTS (1880–2006) — Introduction It took the new Jewish nation about 70 years to emerge as the State of Israel. The immediate stimulus that initiated the modern return to Zion was the disappointment, in the last quarter of the 19th century, of the expectation that… …
26Measurement uncertainty — In metrology, measurement uncertainty is a non negative parameter characterizing the dispersion of the values attributed to a measured quantity. The uncertainty has a probabilistic basis and reflects incomplete knowledge of the quantity. All… …
27Anxiety/Uncertainty Management — (AUM) is a theory developed by Dr. William B. Gudykunst in an attempt to define what makes up effective communication. Gudykunst’s research began in 1985 using existing theories as a starting point. Specifically, the existing research of… …
28Cone of Uncertainty — In project management, the Cone of Uncertainty describes the evolution of the amount of uncertainty during a project. At the beginning of a project, comparatively little is known about the product or work results, and so estimates are subject to… …
29Squeezed coherent state — In physics, a squeezed coherent state is any state of the quantum mechanical Hilbert space such that the uncertainty principle is saturated. That is, the product of the corresponding two operators takes on its minimum value::Delta x Delta p =… …
30Quantum state — In quantum physics, a quantum state is a mathematical object that fully describes a quantum system. One typically imagines some experimental apparatus and procedure which prepares this quantum state; the mathematical object then reflects the… …
