Dirac Definition and 859 Threads

I need some suggestions and/or corrections if I understand this correct? My questions are based on the book by Mandl and Shaw. Conserved currents are based on Noethers theorem and directly connected to spacetime and field transformations (rotations, translations, phase, ...). One can...

These are three quantum mechanics questions that I am having trouble with. a) Calculate <alpha/beta> by converting to standary notation. b) Prove that A is the identity operator where the sum is overa complete set of states. A is given in the attachment labelled by b c) IF the state C...

So in my problem set I'm asked to solve for the "new energies of the system" I'm given the initial energies of this system and told a new potential is added. I know all the matrix elements. I solved for H|psi> so where do I go from here for the energies?

Okay...so here's the thing. I have been researching the dirac Delta properties. The sights I've visited, thus far, are moderately helpful. I'm looking to tackle this question I'm about to propose, so for you Brains out there (the truly remarkable :rolleyes:) please don't post a solution...

We are working on Dirac notation in my quantum class, and for the most part I see that it is a very easy way to do problems. But I am still getting stuck on how to deal with a few things on my current homework assignment. These come out of chapter 2 in the Cohen-Tannoudji book if you want to...

Hello all! I come in peace... sort of. :biggrin: As i was watching the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, where one of the alien characters had the ability to capture its opponents in a Sea of Dirac, which was claimed to stretch over 800 meters in diameter, but had a thickness of only 3...

in the attatch file there is the dd function. what i want to know is: when x doesn't equal 0 the function equals 0 and the inegral is the integral of the number 0 which is any constant therefore i think the integral should be equal 0. can someone show me how this integral equals 1? for...

I have a question about the Dirac field. If as quantum field theory states , every point in the Universe is filled with "virtual" photons , and if these "virtual" photons in turn give rise to electron-positron pairs , which being components of matter and anti-matter collide and annihilate each...

Supposedly, &int; ez*(z - z0)f(z) dz*dz is proportional to f(z0) much in the same way that (1/2&pi;)&int; eiy(x - x0)f(x) dxdy = &int; &delta;(x - x0)f(x) dx = f(x0) Is this true? Could someone help convince me of it, or point me to a text? I would say that even if true, it...
