Time-dependent perturbation
... The interaction picture is a half way between the Schrödinger and Heisenberg pictures, and is particularly suited to develop the perturbation theory. It is also called the Dirac picture. It tries to discard the “trivial” time-dependence due to the unperturbed Hamiltonian which is by assumption exac ...

Extension of Lorentz Group Representations for Chiral Fermions
... The principles of quantum measurement are at the foundation of particle physics. For example, particle spin and momentum assignments are determined by quantum representations of the Lorentz group [1], and quantum electrodynamics as a local U (1) gauge theory emerges naturally from the phase invarian ...

Complete description of a quantum system at a given time
... In the standard approach to quantum theory, operators with no common eigenstates cannot have definite values simultaneously. For example, there is no state vector of a spin-f particle for which we can predict with certainty the result of measuring ux and the result of measuring U? when one of these ...

Exchange, antisymmetry and Pauli repulsion
... Unfortunately, if particles have a continuous existence, then the usual way of arguing in terms of permutation invariance and so on becomes invalid. We can no longer assume identical particles are always indistinguishable, since they may be distinguished by their spatial relations (trajectories). Pe ...

Quantum Chaos

More precisely, how does the regular or chaotic classical behaviour translate in the energy levels and eigenstates of the (bound) system? For an open system, in the decay rates, in the ...
