In quantum mechanics, observable variables are represented by operators, and thus can be replaced by matrix in a certain basis. If we have H|n>=E(n)|n>, where |n> are eigenfunctions of Hamilton matrix. Here is the problem: what's the physical meaning of <m|P|n>, namely off-diagonal elements of...

you mean, this equation set(containing two equation, Ψ and Ψ*) does not change? by the way, could you tell me, can Schrodinger equation be rewrited to Ψ·Ψ* mathemetically? thanks

We know that in Schrodinger equation, Ψ is called wave function, which is not observable, while Ψ·Ψ* is the probability, which is observable. can we rewirte the Schrodinger equation to a form without Ψ but only Ψ·Ψ*? because I think, in this way can I figure out all conservations in the...

Thank you!That database is very useful!

When testing Bohr's theory by Franck-Hertz experiment, we have electrons colliding with Hg atoms. a Hg atom will absorb electron's energy when this energy can make it jumping to a higher energy level. I wonder Hg is more like L-S coupling or j-j coupling, for I want to measure its higher...
