Here is the problem :
A pendulum is composed of a mass m attached to a string of length l, which is suspended
from a fixed point. When hanging at equilibrium, the pendulum is hit with a horizontal
impulse that results in an initial angular velocity ω0. Show that if ω20 < 2g/l, the string
will...
Thank you for your prompt reply. Why is it that if I substitute x and p operators that are exressed in terms of a and a^(+) into the Hamiltonian , it does not have the 1/2 hbar omega term, but when I use the conventional way of deriving the Hamiltonian (starting from aa^+) then I get a...
Hello ! I require some guidance on this prove :I normally derive the Hamiltonian for a SHO in Hilbert space with a term of 1/2 hbar omega included. However, I am unsure of how one derives this from Hilbert space to Fock space. I have attached my attempt at it as an image below. Any input will be...
