... Finite angular momentum. When l > 0, we have to require that A1 = 0 (because of Eq. 47) which at first appears to force all coefficients to be zero. However, when we reach p = l, where l = 1, 2, 3, ..., the coefficient multiplying Ap+1 (or Al+1 ) is zero and the recursion is satisfied for non-zero A ...

... Given two systems of N1 ≈ N2 = 1022 spins with multiplicity functions g1(N1,s1) and g2(N2,s-s1), the product g1g2 as a function of s1 is relatively sharply peaked at s1 = ŝ1. For s1 = ŝ1 + 1012, the product g1g2 is reduced by 10-174 from its peak value. Use the Gaussian approximation of the multipli ...

Particle in a box
In quantum mechanics, the particle in a box model (also known as the infinite potential well or the infinite square well) describes a particle free to move in a small space surrounded by impenetrable barriers. The model is mainly used as a hypothetical example to illustrate the differences between classical and quantum systems. In classical systems, for example a ball trapped inside a large box, the particle can move at any speed within the box and it is no more likely to be found at one position than another. However, when the well becomes very narrow (on the scale of a few nanometers), quantum effects become important. The particle may only occupy certain positive energy levels. Likewise, it can never have zero energy, meaning that the particle can never ""sit still"". Additionally, it is more likely to be found at certain positions than at others, depending on its energy level. The particle may never be detected at certain positions, known as spatial nodes.The particle in a box model provides one of the very few problems in quantum mechanics which can be solved analytically, without approximations. This means that the observable properties of the particle (such as its energy and position) are related to the mass of the particle and the width of the well by simple mathematical expressions. Due to its simplicity, the model allows insight into quantum effects without the need for complicated mathematics. It is one of the first quantum mechanics problems taught in undergraduate physics courses, and it is commonly used as an approximation for more complicated quantum systems.
