... was that for the top quark [11]. The framework of this paper could equally well be used there. All that is needed is a means to repeatedly apply a specified Hamiltonian that produces various phase inversions and state transitions. For example, it took about 1012 repetitions of a certain experiment, ...

... atoms with increasingly large angular momenta. Assuming all captured atoms ionize, the classical ionization cross section is linear in V0 and is given by   2bc lnt , where lnt is the length of the nanotube. We note that in all cases of interest here captured states are not bound states, rather ...

We need ways to extend the domain of an operator to deal with these cases. To do this is enough to require tha ...

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.
