anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Comparing ##a^b## and ##b^a##.With no loss of generality a<b $$f:=\ln \frac{b^a}{a^b}=ab(\frac{\ln b}{b}-\frac{\ln a}{a})$$ Sign of f decides which is larger. The... -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Raising and lowering indices using metric tensor.They are the same because g is a symmetric tensor. -

Like.
I noticed the following question generated quite a lot of interest on the Internet. Which is larger ##e^{\pi}## or ##\pi^e##? Most (if... -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.If the goal is to learn about the 1s state of the electron, then you are of course correct that performing two position measurements... -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.The pair of events I would refer is I should have stated clearly that measured space coordinate values of the electron are used to... -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.We don’t. Proper time is the length of a path through spacetime between two events; the electron has no path or position so the notion... -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.Quantum field theory treats the decoherence between the system and the measuring apparatus, but does it not fail to account for the... -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad EPR revisited.This is my conjecture about QFT that I learned from this thread and some othre readngs: In quantum field theory (QFT), measurement is... -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.Am I correct in understanding that both ⟨v⟩ = ⟨p⟩/m and ⟨v⟩ = d⟨x⟩/dt are valid in the non-relativistic regime for a free particle? If... -

Like.
No position means no path along which we can integrate to find the proper time. Instead we use QFT and calculate an amplitude for a... -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.I have read that in relativistic quantum theory the decay rate is computed from the weak-interaction matrix element using the... -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.Thank you. Re:#30 Can we call ##\frac{<p>}{m}##, relativistically ##<\frac{pc^2}{E}>, ## as well as ##\frac{d}{dt}<x>(t)## the... -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.So even in free space QM tells us nothing about velocity ? -
anuttarasammyak replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.Cosmic-ray muons correspond to wave packets in free space, and their lifetime extension can be explained by the Lorentz factor. Muons in...
