Graduate Born oppenheimer approximation vs adiabatic approximation
THanks very much for your reply. I think your interpretation of adiabatic hit the spot. I guess adiabatic ,roughly speaking , pretty much has to do with an isolation from the environment in a certain form. but it still remains to us the question why in particular born oppenheimer...- 14lawrenze

Graduate Born oppenheimer approximation vs adiabatic approximation
many thanks first! I got to apologize for delayed reply . Actually I'd took a glance at the wiki's explanation contained in the first link before I put up this question here. I usually distrust wiki. However, The second link is quite helpful. I'm reading it now while typing message to...- 14lawrenze

Graduate Born oppenheimer approximation vs adiabatic approximation
I'm learning to deal with h2+ (hydrogen ion) problems and the like, which sure entails the infamous born oppenheimer approximation . i know the word "adiabatic" in a thermal sense, that is , an adiabatic process is the one in which no heat transfer occurs between the things of question and...- 14lawrenze

Regarding an approximation of p as 1 over r
Homework Statement estimate the ground energy of a bound qqbar system , the total hamiltonian can be written as , H(r)=2m-a/r+br+p^2/m,where a=0.5, b=0.18Gev^2, m being the mass of quark or antiquark the book kinds of gives Hint " p may be approximated as 1 over r" ,natural unit is...- 14lawrenze
