SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on resources for understanding Wigner rotation, tensor operators, and two-particle helicity states in quantum mechanics. A recommended book is "Elementary Theory of Angular Momentum" by M. E. Rose, which provides foundational insights into angular momentum. Additionally, "Quantum Theory of Angular Momentum" by D. A. Varshalovich, A. N. Moskalev, and V. K. Khersonskii is highlighted as a valuable reference for these topics. These texts are essential for anyone delving into advanced quantum mechanics concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with angular momentum in quantum systems
  • Basic knowledge of tensor operators
  • Concept of helicity in particle physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Wigner rotation and its applications in quantum mechanics
  • Explore tensor operator techniques in quantum field theory
  • Research two-particle helicity states and their significance
  • Read "Quantum Theory of Angular Momentum" for advanced insights
USEFUL FOR

Quantum physicists, students of advanced quantum mechanics, and researchers focusing on angular momentum and particle physics will benefit from this discussion.

Hi,

Is there any good books which explain/calculate Wigner rotation, tensor operator, two-particle helicity state and related stuff in detail?

Thanks.
