... and store it in sparse matrix form, and then find the ground state and first excited state of the Hamiltonian using sparse matrix algorithms. The states of the system can be labelled by an integer s which runs from 0 to 2 L − 1. If we find the binary form of this integer and then change each zero in ...

The way we have formulated the Unruh effect makes it clear already that we think of it as a problem in the theory of open quantum systems in which a small system, here the detector, is coupled to a res ...

Postulates of Quantum Mechanics
... Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that describes the behaviour of systems, such as atoms and photons, whose states admit superpositions. It is a framework onto which other physical theories are built upon. For example, quantum field theories such as quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromod ...

Angular Momentum 23.1 Classical Description
... We learn that, for example, [L̂x , L̂y ] = i ~ Lz . This tells us that it is impossible to find eigenfunctions of Lx that are simultaneously eigenfunctions of Ly and/or Lz . So returning to the issue of [Ĥ, L̂i ] = 0, we can, evidently, choose any one of the angular momentum operators, and have sha ...

However, in quantum mechanics, we see that angular momentum behaves very differently from how it does in classical physics. In particular, if an object has a definite ...
