Variational Method
... can look for the lowest energy state with that quantum number. Because of the different quantum numbers, the trial wave function is guaranteed to be orthogonal to the ground state. The variational method gives a rigorous upper limit on the lowest energy state with a given quantum number. For instanc ...

The Aharonov-Bohm-Effect - Karl-Franzens
... The thesis is divided in three major chapters. We start with a section, which describes the required theory to understand the processes associated with the AB-effect. It covers the gauge transformation, the basic quantum mechanics and further examples, which point out the consequences of electromagn ...

Generating entangled spin states for quantum metrology by single-photon detection
... incident photon being scattered into free space by the atomic ensemble is psc = 2Sη(/2)2 = 2Sφ 2 /η [35]. Therefore the success probability is simply related to the free-space scattering probability via p = qηpsc /4. A cavity increases the single-atom resonant optical depth 2η [35] and hence great ...

One of the fundamental properties of a physical object is its position in space and its state of motion, however these are complementary, thus it is impossible for a quantum system to have both a well defined position and state of motion at the same time. The more we increase our certainty of one p ...

Bohr–Einstein debates
The Bohr–Einstein debates were a series of public disputes about quantum mechanics between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their debates are remembered because of their importance to the philosophy of science. An account of the debates was written by Bohr in an article titled ""Discussions with Einsteinon Epistemological Problems in Atomic Physics"". Despite their differences of opinion regarding quantum mechanics, Bohr and Einstein had a mutual admiration that was to last the rest of their lives.The debates represent one of the highest points of scientific research in the first half of the twentieth century because it called attention to an element of quantum theory, quantum non-locality, which is absolutely central to our modern understanding of the physical world. The consensus view of professional physicists has been that Bohr proved victorious, and definitively established the fundamental probabilistic character of quantum measurement.
