Creation, annihilation and motion

In summary, creation is the process of bringing something into existence, while annihilation is the complete destruction of something. Motion refers to the act of moving or changing position in space. Creation can occur through various processes and is closely related to annihilation and motion, which are all constantly occurring in the universe.

I'd like to know if creation and annihilation operators are involved in a free trajectory of a particle from point A to point B. If it's the case, how so?

If there is a detector at A, and another one at B, mathematically speaking, can it be said that the particle is annihilated at A, and created at B later on ?

Is that how creation and annihilation operators are generally used?
Wouldn't you normally have the particle created at the source and annihilated at the detector?
 

FAQ: Creation, annihilation and motion

What is creation?

Creation refers to the process of bringing something into existence or being. It can also refer to the act of producing or causing something to exist.

What is annihilation?

Annihilation refers to the process of complete destruction or extinction of something. It can also refer to the act of wiping out or erasing something completely.

What is motion?

Motion refers to the act of moving or changing position in space. It can also refer to the change in the position of an object or system over time.

How does creation occur?

Creation can occur through various processes, depending on the context. In scientific terms, it can occur through natural processes such as evolution or through artificial means such as human invention.

What is the relationship between creation, annihilation, and motion?

The three concepts are closely related as they all involve changes or transformations. Creation can lead to motion and annihilation can result in the cessation of motion. In the grand scheme of the universe, creation and annihilation are constantly occurring, while motion is the result of these processes.
