    How Does Degeneracy Affect Energy Levels and Quantum Numbers in a 3D Box?

    You are talking about a 3D rectangular box, so why you are using the quantum number of a Hydrogen atom? Quantum number is just a representing number of the system state and they are associated with different wavefunction for different system. Ground state means the 'allowed' state with the...

    How can I secretly transport an item in my room without knowing it was done?

    The reply make me laugh :smile: The device is actually doing the job (move clothing), which is contradicted to the requirement 'without me knowing it did its job'.

    Programs PhD Admision Guide: Get Special Support Now!

    From your description, the one who can help you most is your supervisor. You may talk to your supervisor about the people working on the same field as yours. Writing a recommendation letter should be enough unless the health problem is very serious... Why don't you talk to other professors in...

    Courses Courses in Quantum Computing at Waterloo, IQC & Perimeter

    I have background in Physics, plus some Maths and CS. I am interested in the theoretical part of quantum computing, maybe physics, but not decide yet. For the career aspect, I do not know too much about it. Don't you find this field interesting? Surely, academic is certainly one of them, you...

    What's the Best Workflow for Collaborative Paper Writing?

    I have played the google wave with friends and its simultaneous editing feature is, well, fancy but not useful. When you are typing, you can imagine many characters appear one by one at random location on your screen. Also, your cursor is pushing right and right and sudden appear at the...

    Theoretical Quantum Entanglement Question

    Your question remind me the many world interpretation. You can think that the our whole university is a 'big' quantum state and evolve over time. You may believe it, but this statement is not an observable under today's physical understanding cos we have only one universe. In order to make have...

    What Happens to Energy Levels in a Reduced Potential Well?

    What are you asking exactly? you should know that shifting of potential V with a constant value Vo does not change the wavefunction.

    Courses Courses in Quantum Computing at Waterloo, IQC & Perimeter

    Have you checked for their website? I think that you should contact some professors first before you apply for it. I have recently applied for it cos a prof there thinks that I am a good candidate for his team. To study in the IQC, you will need to apply for one home department AND the IQC...

    What's the Best Workflow for Collaborative Paper Writing?

    It is a simple method when everyone writes their own part and the number of revision is small. Otherwise, you will have a stock of files and emails. Also the pages fill with alternating color and the information is lost after each revision. It might seem ok when the people have similar...

    Is There an Ideal Tool for Taking Physics Notes?

    haha, I do not understand your problem of the diagram and paint. But you can take a look for the Help in the lyx, in which you can copy and paste the format and generate a pdf file. I lways steal the format in these files. For the fig number, one method is to use the Document -> setting ->...

    What's the Best Workflow for Collaborative Paper Writing?

    You experience is really helpful. Putting large files in Dropbox and using Google Docs for simultaneous editing latex file is a good method. I will definitely give it a try later if I have time. But what do you mean combing two? Does it mean that there is no need to install the Dropbox, or...

    What's the Best Workflow for Collaborative Paper Writing?

    Thanks for sharing. I haven't considered the Google Documents cos I don't know that it has the function of simultaneous editing and revision comparisons. I think your current practice is already a good solution for writing paper. Anyway, I have some questions for your approach. 1) Why do you...

    Is There an Ideal Tool for Taking Physics Notes?

    lyx is really one of my favorite editor for typing latex equation. Unlike the M$ Word, the typing of equation and sentence is pretty sequential. By the way, have you considered using a camera to take the writing of the lecturer? It is simple and easy. A friend of mine do this often to save...

    QM question, angular momentum operator and eigen functions

    The question only ask for the eigenfunction of the operator L(z) So you should not write out one hydrogen wavefunction which may count as WRONG answer! Solve for L_{z}\Phi(\phi)=m\Phi(\phi) and you will get the answer. Think about it
