Undergrad About L-S interaction or spin orbit coupling

Click For Summary
L-S interaction, or spin-orbit coupling, is a key concept in atomic physics and quantum mechanics that describes the interaction between an electron's spin and its orbital motion. To gain a solid conceptual understanding, it is recommended to consult textbooks on atomic physics and quantum mechanics, as they typically cover this topic comprehensively. Additionally, there are numerous educational videos available on YouTube that can provide visual explanations and further insights. Engaging with both written and visual resources can enhance comprehension of the complexities involved in L-S interaction. Mastery of this topic is essential for deeper studies in quantum mechanics and atomic structure.

Thread 'One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics'

I am slowly going through the book 'What Is a Quantum Field Theory?' by Michel Talagrand. I came across the following quote: One does not" prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics. The ultimate test for a model is the agreement of its predictions with experiments. Although it may seem trite, it does fit in with my modelling view of QM. The more I think about it, the more I believe it could be saying something quite profound. For example, precisely what is the justification of...
