Isometric and unitary phase operators: explaining the Villain transform
... In classical physics a localized or convergent light beam is obtained by superposing plane waves with well-defined phase relations. Since Dirac’s 1927 paper [3], this basic role of the phase has not ceased to motivate the search for a unitary phase operator ‘eiϕ ’ in quantum mechanics [2–5]. Recent ...

... very close by, we can move it "directly" by pushing the water with another cork. If you looked only at the two corks, all you would see would be that one moved immediately in response to the motion of the other— there is some kind of "inter- action" between them. Of course, what we really do is to d ...

The Infinite Square Well 6.1 Separability of Schrödinger`s Equation
... the stationary state Ψn (x, t). This interpretation is also reasonable from a linear algebra point of view – the decomposition coefficients cm tell us how much Ψm (x, t) is in Ψ(x, t), and so it is easy to predict the state selected by measurement. The story is only mildly different for other operat ...
