Undergrad Coherent state evolution - nonlinear Hamiltonian
Given the hamiltonian: \hat{H} = \hbar \omega_{0} \hat{a}^{+}\hat{a} + \chi (\hat{a}^{+}\hat{a})^2, where ##\hat{a}^{+}##, ##\hat{a}## are creation and annihilation operators. Find evolution of the state ##|\psi(t) \rangle##, knowing that initial state ##|\psi(0)\rangle = |\alpha\rangle##...- CptXray

Ideal gas in a cylindrical container
It looks more like a computational obstacle, but here we go. Plugging all of these to the partition function: $$Q = \frac{1}{N! h^{3N}} \int -\exp(\frac{1}{2m}(p^2_{r}+p^2_{\phi}/r^2+p^2_{z})+gz)d\Gamma=$$ $$= \frac{1}{N! h^{3N}} \int \exp{(\frac{-1}{2m}p^2_{r})}dp_{r_{1}}...dp_{r_{N}}...- CptXray

Calculating the Second Moment of Area for Floating Bodies
I remember that there's something about stability of floating bodies in "Physics of Continuous Matter Exotic and Everyday Phenomena in the Macroscopic World" by B. Lautrup. Maybe that will help?- CptXray

Defining Variables for Data Analysis in a Lab Experiment
Homework Statement Hello, I have a problem with my data analysis from my lab. My goal is to find drift velocity of the electron and it's diffusion coefficient. The experiment looked like this: I've measured the time difference between signals on two gaseous detectors. The source of the signal...- CptXray

How do I deduce some basic thermodynamic identities using multivariate calculus?
I think I've seen these in Callen's "Thermodynamics and Introduction to Thermostatics" in the appendix. Although, I'm not sure if (d) can be found there.- CptXray

The operator of a distribution
I tried to do that, but I'm afraid it doesn't get me anywhere. From definition: $$\big(r\frac{\partial^2{T}}{\partial{r}\partial{\Phi}}\big)\phi = (-1)^2T\big( r\frac{\partial^2{\phi}}{\partial{r}\partial{\Phi}} \big)$$. Evaluating the right side of this equation: $$(-1)^2T\big(...- CptXray

The operator of a distribution
Homework Statement Let ##T## be a distribution in ##\mathcal{D}(\mathbb{R}^2)## such that: $$T(\phi) = \int_{0}^{1}dr \int_{0}^{\pi} \phi(r, \Phi)d\Phi$$ $$\phi \in \mathcal{D}(\mathbb{R}^2)$$ calculate ##r \frac{\partial{}}{\partial{r}} \frac{\partial{}}{\partial{\Phi}}T##. Homework...- CptXray

Thin wire alternating exerts force on a nearby charge
@TSny, apparently the trick is to write the potential $$\vec{A}(\rho) = \frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{I(t - t_{r}) \hat{e}_{z}}{\sqrt{z^2 + \rho^2}},$$ where ##t_{r} = t - \frac{1}{c}\sqrt{z^2 + \rho^2}##. The other step is to see that function under itegral is diverging...- CptXray

Find the electric field at an arbitrary point
To find a total charge you need to integrate the density ##\rho## over whole space (spherical coordinates are best here). Luckily ##\rho## gets small pretty quickly so integration gives finite result. a) is exactly like finding a mass of an infinite object with density ##\rho##.- CptXray

Thin wire alternating exerts force on a nearby charge
Homework Statement There's a thin, straight, infinite wire conducting alternating current: $$I(t) = I_{0}\exp(-\kappa t^2),$$ where ##\kappa > 0##. Calculate the force exerted on point charge ##q## that is located in distance ##\rho## from the wire. Consider relativistic effects. Homework...- CptXray

Flow Around a Cylinder with Linear Vortex and Points of Stagnation
Yes, but the problem is that logarithms are centered in points other than ##z=0## and I'm wondering if I'm trying to do it wrong, because I can't separate real and imaginary terms in order to get ##\Phi## - velocity potential and ##\Psi## - stream function,- CptXray
