Momentum vs Velocity
In which I attempt to explain the difference.
Hi! I'm Jacques, a quantum physicist based at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I try to make sense out of the notoriously confusing world of quantum mechanics.
In my blog I practice writing about this difficult subject for a general audience; it also functions as a sort of repository for my thoughts and ideas that just don't fit in any academic journal, either because they are too small, too big, too unpolished, too interdisciplinary, or maybe just too wild.
An up-to-date list of my academic papers is available on my Google Scholar profile. For information about my other academic activities, including talks and conferences, click the "News" button below.
