I How azimutal quantum number got its range value

Click For Summary
The azimuthal quantum number ranges from 0 to n-1, derived from the algebraic theory of quantum mechanical angular momentum and the solution of the Schrödinger equation in three dimensions. Detailed explanations can be found in textbooks on quantum mechanics, particularly those covering the hydrogen atom. Online resources are also available for varying levels of understanding, from basic to advanced. Engaging with these materials can provide a deeper insight into the topic. Understanding the azimuthal quantum number is essential for grasping quantum mechanics fundamentals.

TL;DR
it is known that azimutal quantum number takes the values from 0 to n-1. how did they find it ?

From the algebraic theory of quantum mechanical angular momentum, and solving the Schrodinger equation in three dimensions.

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
