What Do Expectation Values Tell Us About Quantum State Probabilities?
In measuring the x component of angular momentum of a state, by using the expectation value calculation of Lx, i got i/3 h bar - i/3 h bar, does this means that the probability of h bar is i/3 and the probability of 0 h bar is 0 and the probability of -h bar is i/3? If so, when is the...- jaobyccdee

Graduate Commutators of Angular momentum operator
The letters next to p and L should be subscripts. [Lz, px] = [xpy − ypx, px] = [xpy, px] − [ypx, px] = py[x, px] −0 = i(hbar)py 1.In this calculation, why is [x, px] not 0 even they commute? 2.Why is py put on the left instead of the right in the second last step? i thought it should be...- jaobyccdee

Is the S Matrix Unitary in One-Dimensional Scattering Problems?
[b]1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known A general one dimensional scattering problem could be characterized by an (arbitrary) potential V (x) which is localized by the requirement that V (x) = 0 for |x|> a. Assume that the wave-function is ψ (x) = Ae^(ikx) + Be^(-ikx)...- jaobyccdee

Mapping a matrix to the null space
Homework Statement I am trying to run a model in matlab. D is a 2 by 3 matrix, Knowing that DL=0, which means L is mapped to the null space. Homework Equations How can i find L so that it is a 3 by 3 matrix with all its entries being one times a scalar. The Attempt at a Solution...- jaobyccdee

Electric field by a current carrying wire
1. If there are the same number of positive charge and negative charge, then there's no net charge, and thus no electric field? 2. Can i say since a constant current has a magnetic field that doesn't change, so an electric field is not induced? 3. If the number of positive charge and negative...- jaobyccdee

Electric field by a current carrying wire
Yes, so negative charges go one way, and positive charges go another direction. Isn't it?- jaobyccdee

Graduate Why 8 probabilities in 3D random walk?
Thx a lot! So, if we have {up, up, down}, does it mean we have only walked one step and should see it as a vector (up, up, down} in 3D space? So, R (the position) does depend on the dimensionality? But then how does the position relate to the number of steps? I think i am confused by the number...- jaobyccdee

thx for replying. But i still have a question. What's the difference then between having three steps in 1D and 1 step in 3D?- jaobyccdee

Graduate Why 8 probabilities in 3D random walk?
Why are there 8 possible moves in 3D random walk? With R being the distance from the origin, how is its relationship with the number of steps and dimensionality? Thx!- jaobyccdee
