Task 1
Read the text and decide which answer best fits each space.
Physics no longer tries to predict exactly what will happen; it is now content with predicting the probabilities of a _____________ of possible
outcomes. It is not clear whether probability is being used in quantum mechanics, as in the ____________ theory of gases, to cover up our
ignorance of some underlying specific description of the ____________, a description which assigns an exact position to the particle which is
revealed by the measurement, or whether probability is being used to provide a complete and fundamental description of the particle. In the latter
case, it is pointless or meaningless to speculate on where the particle is prior _____________ the measurement. Its exact position is not revealed
by the measurement, but _____________ into existence by the measurement; the particle, like the experimenter, is surprised by the outcome!

Task 2
Translate these sentences.
1. The key idea is that a wave function represents a quantum state of a particle, a state of motion that bears only a passing resemblance to the
well-defined trajectories of classical physics.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. A quantum state is a linear superposition of other quantum states which means that a particle in one quantum state is also simultaneously in
other quantum states. This property is called the principle of linear superposition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. There is no such thing as a perfect simple harmonic oscillator – if your stretch it too far the spring is going to break, and typically Hooke’s law
fails long before that point is reached.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. The paradigm for a classic harmonic oscillator is a mass m attached to a spring of force constant k. The motion is governed by Hooke’s law.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. The first term represents the kinetic energy of the particle, and the second term represents the potential energy in which it resides. In order to
find the energy levels and the corresponding energy eigenstates, we must solve the time-independent Schrödinger equation.

Task 3
Read the passage and fill in the gaps.
This energy ____________ is noteworthy for three reasons. Firstly, the energies are "quantized", and may only take the __________ values of
times 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, and so forth. This is a feature of many quantum mechanical systems. In the following section on ladder operators, we will
engage in a more detailed examination of this phenomenon. Secondly, the lowest achievable energy is not zero, but
, which is called the
"ground state energy" or zero-point energy. In the __________ state, according to quantum mechanics, an ___________ performs null
oscillations and its average kinetic energy is positive. It is not obvious that this is significant, because normally the zero of energy is not a
physically meaningful quantity, only differences in energies. Nevertheless, the ground state energy has many implications, particularly in quantum
__________. The final reason is that the energy levels are equally spaced, unlike the Bohr model or the particle in a box.
