In my class my professor used the wavefunction <r|jjjj> when discussing the hydrogen atom.

Does anyone know what this refers to, or just describe it briefly so I could find search for some resources online.

Thanks in advance!

Are you just confused with the notaion <r|j> or what? Now that notation, it is called Dirac notation. But WHY you have <r|jjjj> i don't know, there are many ways to label things as you know and you should ask your professor about this.
 

Thread 'Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?'

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
