    Will an electron vibrating in a 1D radiates?

    Hi Zz, Thank you for your reply. Yes, indeed, it can be described in classical language. But it can also be described in the quantum language, say the probability at each position along x axis, correct? My question is how to relate this two pictures together? My understanding is...

    Will an electron vibrating in a 1D radiates?

    Hi Zz, I'm sorry I don't know this should not be posted here, I'm afraid, is there a way to repost/redirect it somewhere else? The electron lives in 3D, but vibrates in 1direction. I just find it difficult to appreciate that since if only the probability of position of electron is the true...

    Will an electron vibrating in a 1D radiates?

    Hi Tom, Wow, thank you so much for your reply. Yes, the context is the electron lives in 3D world but vibrates in 1 direction. Sorry for the confusion. I only learn undergrad QM,and I'm afraid I never touched QED before. The exact problem is for a molecule adsorbed on top of a metal surface...

    Will an electron vibrating in a 1D radiates?

    Hi all, According to quantum theory, for an electron vibrating in one dimension, only probability of position is meaningful. My question is will there be a e&m radiation by such a motion, if yes, how to appreciate it from the possibility argument, say, if only the probability at each position...
