Polarizable vacuum — In theoretical physics, particularly fringe physics, polarizable vacuum (PV) most often refers to a proposal by Harold Puthoff to develop an analogue of general relativity to describe gravity in optics like terms. Puthoff himself has apparently… … Wikipedia
Wilson loop — In gauge theory, a Wilson loop (named after Kenneth Wilson) is a gauge invariant observable obtained from the holonomy of the gauge connection around a given loop. In the classical theory, the collection of all Wilson loops contains sufficient… … Wikipedia

Zero-point energy — is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have; it is the energy of its ground state. All quantum mechanical systems undergo fluctuations even in their ground state and have an associated zero point energy, a… … Wikipedia
Monte Carlo methods for electron transport — The Monte Carlo method for electron transport is a semiclassical Monte Carlo(MC) approach of modeling semiconductor transport. Assuming the carrier motion consists of free flights interrupted by scattering mechanisms, a computer is utilized to… … Wikipedia
