... PROBLEM 3 [25 PTS] For a gas of distinguishable particles, we’ve seen that the relative probability of any particle having the energy E is given by the Boltzmann factor fB = e−E/kT . Consider a two-dimensional ideal gas of temperature T composed of N distinguishable objects of mass m whose degrees ...

The Emergence of a Macro-World: A Study of Intertheory Relations in Classical and Quantum Mechanics
... We look at how Newtonian mechanics addresses the problem of discontinuous jumps in Section 3. Then, in Section 4, we sketch the QM treatment of a particle in an infinite potential well. Our purpose is not merely to prove the incompleteness of Ehrenfest’s equations, but to compare the definitions of pr ...

... Experimental confirmation of G waves was first provided by Russell Hulse and John Taylor for which they were awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics. They examined the rotation rate of the system PSR B1913 + 16 which consists of a gravitationally bound star and pulsar (rotating neutron star with hug ...

The quantum mechanics of photon addition and subtraction
... By adding only one photon, any input state is converted into a nonclassical state that cannot be described by classical theory. As seen in Figure 2, we added a photon to a thermal field (the most classical field) which makes the state have negative values in its Wigner function. This is a typical si ...
