No, when a quantum particle is confined to the ##x y## plane, its Hilbert space is restricted, and there aren't even any such operators... -
To illustrate what a la-la land the current grading practice at Harvard inhabits, the Harvard college student handbook already defines...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Admissions Statement of purpose critique request (high-energy theory PhD application).Did you have any luck this cycle?
-
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Admissions Could I please get critique on my SOP? (Experimental Biophysics).How did it go? Was the funding situation as bad as I had been led to believe?

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Exact symmetry, quantum states, and symmetric dynamics.Did it? I was under the assumption that parts of the system interacting with each other doesn't break the symmetry of the whole. If the...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Exact symmetry, quantum states, and symmetric dynamics.I'm like 95% sure this is AI slop. Anyway: Picture the whole universe as one perfectly reversible machine. Its state changes in a way...

QuarkyMeson reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Help me understand indeterminism in standard quantum mechanics with Like.
That role is interpretation dependent. In some interpretations, such as the MWI, there is no actual randomness anywhere; everything is...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Schools How good and well-known is the physics program at RPI?.MIT is on a 5.0 scale, so a 4.0 would be a straight B student! That's not really the point you're trying to make, but you can...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Schools How good and well-known is the physics program at RPI?.Go to the school where you pay the least amount of money for your degree, within reason. At my university which is a "lower ranked"...
