An atom with an excited-state configuration
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d14p1
With residual electron-electron interactions are taken into account, this configuration splits into atomic terms. List these terms labelled by their L and S quantum numbers

This was not "homework" I am just reading a physics book for my own enjoyment and I was reading a section and I have no clue how to get started. I could post it in homework if its more suitable?
With the quantum numbers l=1, n=2 and m=-1 how do I calculate the total energy E, L2 (the square of the orbital momentum) and Lz (the z-component of the orbital angular momentum.
I've been trying for two hours and am getting no were. Please help
Two photons are moving in opposite directions along the y-axis are in the entangled polarization state
|Ψ> = (1/√2)(|VV>+|HH>)
V is vertical polarization relative to the z axis and measured from an axis n1 and is defined as θ=θ1 and H is horizontal polarization to the z axis measured from an...
How does the collapse of a wave function influence the results of an energy measurement or a position measurement taken immediately after another energy or position measurement?
Does the indeterminacy of quantum mechanics arise from the lack of knowledge of the time-evolution of the wave function between measurements or do it have another origin
