Quantum Mechanics Terms in Sanskrit

 Quantum Mechanics Terms in Sanskrit



So in this blog, I will be going over some basic Quantum Mechanics related terms in Sanskrit. Quantum Mechanics is essentially dealing with extremely small things, namely with the fact that a particle can be a wave at the same time. Quantum Mechanics is a complex feild, which is why I will be trnalsting only the basic terms into Sanskrit. 

Quantum Mechanics is noted for the fact that it deals with discrete quantities. You can have one particle or two particles, but not 1 and half particles. So Quantum is better understood as discrete, which in Sanskirt is पृथक्. So Quantum Mechanics is पृथक्त्वभौतिक​, which is better translated as "Quantum Physics".  

Now, let us start with the particle, which in Sanskrit is just कण​. A wave is just ऊर्मि or ऊर्मिका. Since particles are also waves, if we want, we can make a signle word for such an "entity". I suggest: कणोर्मिकणोर्मिका, or ऊर्मिकण​. 

A Photon is भाकण or प्रकाशकण, or "light particle"​.

Particle Wave Duality is कणोर्मि-द्वित्व​. Next is superposition, which is basically the idea that a quantum system can be in multiple states at once till a measurement is made. Because it is a state where manifold exitences happen at once, I call is नानाभावस्थिति.

The wave function is ऊर्मिफलन. The Wave Function Collapse is ​ऊर्मिफलनान्त​, which literally means "end of the wave function". 

Quantum Coherence is,in simple terms, the coexistence of qualities of quantum systems; atleats I think that is what it means. Thus I will,for now, translate it as "coexistence of qualities" or गुणसहभाव​.

Decoherence is when coherence breaks down, so somthing like " अपगुणसहभाव​" or "विगुणसहभाव​". The translation is not final. 

For now that concludes our Quantum Mechanics Sanskrit translation. Here is a glossary:
