The Born rule and its interpretation
... Upon the identifications explained above, the Born probability measure then comes out to be just the restriction of the total state on A to the ‘classical’ subalgebra D thereof that Bohr calls for. This account does not provide a derivation of the Born rule from first principles, but it does clarif ...

Quantum Zeno Effect, Anti Zeno Effect and the Quantum recurrence theorem
... *Side note 1 - if we hadn’t taken cm = 1/N we would have gotten an ellipsoid instead of a sphere, yet our results still would have been valid, as explained in [1]. P *Side note 2 - taking N to be finitie is justified by the fact that |cm |2 = 1, thus we can find N for which this sum (truncated at N) ...

Take silver atoms with an electron that has a moment of µz = −g e(e
... Take silver atoms with an electron that has a moment of µz = −ge (eh̄/2me )ms If the electrons have two different kinds of spin directions, atoms with those electrons should have different total spins and then they should respond differently to magnetic fields. In the Stern-Gerlach experiment they s ...

In the case of the non-neutral quantum dot, we found that for a large quantum dot the extra electron is confined largely to the surface and for a small quantum dot it is uniformly distributed over the volume of the do ...

Probability for a fixed microstate vs probability for a fixed energy For a system in equilibrium at fixed temperature T , we have: p(system is in microstate A) = Z −1 e−EA /(kB T ) However, the probability distribution for the energy of the system, p(E) is NOT proportional to e−E/(kB T ) . Rather, ...
