    Peculiar feature of a commutator, can anyone explain?

    Yes, you definitely answered my question. And your reference makes excellent reading. Thanks a lot. Although I am still reading the article, I am eager to clarify a bit more on what u just said, So do u mean by what u said in red that the wavefunction is NOT defined outside [0,2pi)? Or from...

    Peculiar feature of a commutator, can anyone explain?

    Hi,xepma I do not agree with you. If the operator is indeed as the coordinate representation calculated, i.e. ih(bar), then no matter what state we use, we should always get the expectation value is ih(bar), since the commutator is essentially the operator ih(bar)I. So if we can show that in...

    Peculiar feature of a commutator, can anyone explain?

    Hey weejee! You are really astute! I think You pinpointed the problem that has been bothering me for a month! I believe you got the point, just to clarify How is the wavefunction in spherical coordinate defined? Is it defined with phi belonging to [0,2pi) or is it defined by imposing the...

    What are the essential Prerequisites for doing AMO?

    I am posting here coz people here would be more familiar with AMO area. I probably will be doing AMO (atomic molecular and optics) in grad school. With one last year left, I have a bunch of upper division courses to choose from. I am wondering which of the courses would be most useful in my...
