    Hydrogen wave function in terms of m_z after m_y measurement

    Homework Statement Given the following wave function for hydrogen: psi(r, t=0) = (1/sqrt(10))*(2*psi_100 - psi_210 + sqrt(2)*psi_211 + sqrt(3)*psi_21(-1)) where the subscripts show n, l, m_z, respectively, and the psi_nlm_z are already normalized. - At t=0, we measure and find l = 1...

    Summer getting too hard for you? Post your Fall Schedule to cool down

    For fall 2011, I'll have: - Physical electronics (+ lab) - Basic EM and power engineering (+ lab) - Digital electronics (+ lab) - Systems and simulations (+ lab) - Electronics II (+ lab) - Elements of quantum mechanics (no lab :( ) I'm nearly going to need one of those "time turner"...

    Programs Scared to major in Physics, Chemistry or EE?

    If you do engineering physics, one of the many specialties you can focus on is the engineering of new materials. From personal experience, the work I've been doing this summer focuses on part of the scientific foundation of quantum computing (via one method), the creation of quantum dots...

    What classes are you taking for Fall 2009?

    I've got (as a 2nd year engineering physics student): -Numerical methods (appears from the description to be a mis-mash of a lot of different things I've already encountered in first year courses, but who knows) -Circuits and signals -Multivariable calculus -Modern physics I ("a logical...
