“Measuring” the Density Matrix
... a choice which, in many ways, is more general and useful than the state (wave) function formulation. For one thing, the density operator is a measurable. i.e. it is determined by observables, whereas the state (wave) function is not. (There is, in fact, no way to determine a wave function by measure ...

1.1 What has to be explained by Quantum mechanics?
... Only reasonable for Fermions following the Pauli principle! But ”free” and ”occupied” states within a band, sizes of band gaps, etc. classify metals, semiconductors, and insulators. • Why, in contrast, must photons be Bosons?!? (One single QM state macroscopically measurable) • What is: Schrödinger ...

Density Matrix
... in which case ρ = |ψ >< ψ| if the state vector is normalized to unity. In summary, by the term “state of a system” we will understand as state of a micro or macroscopic system defined by its complete density matrix. With that understanding, not all states are characterized by a state vector. Only pu ...

Some Families of Probability Distributions Within Quantum Theory
... Some basics of quantum theory are presented including the way an experiment is modeled. Then states, observables, expected values, spectral measure, and probabilities are introduced. An example of spin measurement is discussed in the context of Stern Gerlach experiments. In order to describe an exam ...

3.3 Why do atoms radiate light?

This classical explanation results from the wrong picture, that the electron is moving through the orbital, leading to a steady ...

Recap of Lectures 9-11
... For any observable, measured values come from a particular set of possibilities (sometimes quantised). Some states (eigenstates) always give a definite value (and therefore are mutually exclusive). Model as an orthonormal set of basis vectors. ...
