I'm sorry--this would be a quantum cylinder.

Consider the following model of a perfectly smooth cylinder. it it a ring of equally spaced, identical particles, with mass M/N, so that the mass of the ring is M and its moment of inertia MR², with R the radius of the ring. Calculate the possible values of the angular momentum. Calculate the...

I'll try it out Thanks for your help! From what you said, I assume that the commutators [x, Lx], [z, Lz], and [y, Ly] should be zero. I'll have to go to my TA to get help with the eigenfunctions of the angular momentum. I missed a week of classes, so I'm just trying to catch up =) Thanks...

Quantum Physics -- Calculating Commutators The problem states: Calculate the commutators [x,L[SIZE="1"]x], [y,L[SIZE="1"]x], [z, L[SIZE="1"]x], [x, L[SIZE="1"]y], [y, L[SIZE="1"]y], [z, L[SIZE="1"]y]. Do you see a pattern that will allow you to state the commutators of x, y, z with...
