Homework Statement


I have problem with properties of compatible observable

Homework Equations


[AB,CD]=AB CD – CD AB ………. (1)
ABCD+ACBD-ACBD-ACDB+ACDB+CADB-CADB-CDAB ………. (2)
A{C,B}D-AC{D,B}+{C,A}DB-C{D,A}B ... (3)

The Attempt at a Solution


How can the equation (1) become (2), and eq (2) become (3), someone please explain to me about that properties
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Try to check the other direction: verify that (3) is equal to (2) and then see if you can simplify (2) to (1).
There is no magic going on.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
