Generalising Unitary Time Evolution
... As a field Quantum Interaction (QI) has progressed well in recent years [10, 8]. It is clear that something is to be gained from applying the quantum formalism to the description of systems not generally considered physical [1, 4, 14, 16, 23]. However, despite this initial promise, there are many ele ...

Quantum monodromy in the two-centre problem Waalkens
... The two-centre problem represents an important integrable limiting case of the three-body problem. As such it has a long history dating back to Euler and Jacobi, see [1, 2] and the reference therein. The corresponding quantum system plays a similar fundamental role in molecular physics as the hydrog ...

Inequivalence of pure state ensembles for open quantum systems

Now, if the ignorance interpretation were to hold for such an ensemble then it should be possible, in principle, for ...

Hydrogen atom
A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen. The electrically neutral atom contains a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force. Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the elemental (baryonic) mass of the universe.In everyday life on Earth, isolated hydrogen atoms (usually called ""atomic hydrogen"" or, more precisely, ""monatomic hydrogen"") are extremely rare. Instead, hydrogen tends to combine with other atoms in compounds, or with itself to form ordinary (diatomic) hydrogen gas, H2. ""Atomic hydrogen"" and ""hydrogen atom"" in ordinary English use have overlapping, yet distinct, meanings. For example, a water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms, but does not contain atomic hydrogen (which would refer to isolated hydrogen atoms).
