is it possible to make a structure smaller than atom using artificial wave functions?
>>8641963
The waves themselves could be the structure. In fact, you could make a machine and computer using waves as the medium for the mechanics and computation.
>>8641963
I don't understand the question.
An electron has a wave function. It is smaller than an atom.
>>8641993
but how would you stabilize it? like what defines the stability of an atom and how would you translate that model to wave functions?
>>8641999
my question is can we make subatomic structures using those wave functions, by making virtual particles out of them that don't decay instantly?
>>8642005
Electrons don't decay instantly.
An atom is already a structure. You are asking whether we could make a smaller atom? Or some structure which is smaller, but dissimilar to an atom?
Its probably possible, but I don't know why you'd want to (or how you would keep it stable).
>>8641963
Yeah neutrinos we created them
>>8642016
What do yo mean why? It would make stuff like goort possible.
>>8642054
>goort
what?
yeah that's what quantum computing is
more specifically we can input any wave function we like limited only by system memory: Q-bits
>>8642000
you can make a smaller "atom" by having an electron bound to a positron. it behaves qualitatively similar to a hydrogen atom, but it isn't stable (because the two particles will annihilate after a short time)
you could theoretically have them form molecules, but they wouldn't last long.

oh and you can also have "excitons" inside a solid object, which are quasi-particles made of an electron and a hole, which again also behave a bit like hydrogen atoms.
