... r=ix+jy+kz where i, j, & k are unit vectors in the x, y, & z-directions, respectively. Then velocity, v, is given by v = dr/dt = i dx/dt + j dy/dt + k dz/dt = i vx + j vy + k v z ans linear momentum, p, is given by p = m v = i mvx + j mvy + k mvz = i px + j py + k p z Then L, the angular momentum of ...

Conventions in relativity theory and quantum mechanics
... cases quite reasonable to define the interface as the location where some agent serving as the experimenter looses control of one-to-onenness. This is the point where ``the quantum turns classical.'' But from the previous discussion it should already be quite clear that any irreversibility in no way ...

The appearance of variational principles in classical mechanics can in fact be traced back to basic properties of quantum mechanics. This is most easily seen using ...

... We will require the complex wave function ψ to satisfy one of these two equations [italics Schrödinger’s]. Since the conjugate complex function ψ̄ will then satisfy the other equation, we may take the real part of ψ as the real wave function [italics mine] (if we require it).14 and again, as his fi ...

Wave mechanics and the Schrödinger equation
... We turn now to the second ground-breaking experiment in the development of quantum theory. When a metallic surface is exposed to electromagnetic radiation, above a certain threshold frequency, the light is absorbed and electrons are emitted (see figure, right). In 1902, Philipp Eduard Anton von Lena ...

... This should make you a little nervous; we’ve seen that with matrices and other things that aren’t simple numbers, multiplication is not necessarily commutative. However, again, in this case, when it comes to inner products, a state for a different particle can be treated as a constant with respect t ...
