One might hold that the human failure to achieve established metaphysical results is due to some special quirk of the human mind, a quirk that could be absent from the minds of Martians or intelligent dolphins. Evolutionary biology suggests that human beings possess a very specific set of mental ta ...

Comment on `The exact molecular wavefunction as a product of an
... The paper [J. Chem.Phys. 138, 224110 (2013)] is the latest in a series of attempts to write the exact molecular wavefunction in electron-nuclear product form. We give reasons for supposing that this attempt fails to deliver what it promises. Attempts to write the molecular wave function in an electr ...

... Plugging in the values of the momentum and the positions gives the energy of the system. The Hamiltonian is the energy written in terms of p and q. The potential Energy (V) is only a function of the position. Again, apply to the H.O. case and determine the energy,(E). The Hamilton form for the energ ...

The One-Dimensional Finite-Difference Time
... For anyone who has ever studied quantum mechanics, it is well-known that the Schrödinger equation can be very difficult to solve analytically. Occasionally, certain complex systems allow for approximate solutions through the use of the WKB method or pertubation theory, but the vast majority of phys ...
