A commentary on Eric Scerri`s paper “Has Quantum Mechanics
... The correspondence between the spectral properties of atoms and their chemistry was used by Niels Bohr to “deduce” the periodic table (see, e.g., Pais, 1991). In what follows, we’ll concentrate on the electronic properties of atoms as revealed by their spectra. In quantum mechanics, only few problem ...

The Spin Quantum Number
... Electrons only change orbits if specific amounts (quanta) of extra energy from the outside world are involved. Electrons that receive enough extra energy from the outside world can leave the atom they are in. Electrons that return to orbits they used to reside in give up the extra energy they acquir ...

... This method uses switched wave-packets created by adiabatic turn-on and sudden switch-off ; these are different in nature to those created via excitation or ionisation [30]. The use of different pulses of electromagnetic radiation in quantum control can result in quite a wide variety of experimental ...

The Wilsonian Revolution in Statistical Mechanics and Quantum
... In physics as well as in many other disciplines, we are often confronted with solving problems that involve many coupled degrees of freedom. For example, let us consider the degrees of freedom involved in a block of solid. This has typically an Avogadro number (1023 ) of atoms. Each of the atoms has ...

In practice this convolution may be physically implementable by passing the input through a dynamical system, such as an electronic circuit, an obtaining Y as output. The resulting output will have a nonflat spectrum SY (ω) ≡ |H(ω)| , where ...
