Solving a classical problem using quantum physics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on applying quantum mechanics to solve classical problems, specifically projectile motion and vibrations in a solid ring. The participants highlight that while vibrations in a string can be analyzed using quantum mechanics, the solid ring presents a different challenge due to its continuous boundary conditions and the need for solid mechanics knowledge. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinctions between these two scenarios for accurate analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Quantum mechanics fundamentals
  • Classical mechanics principles
  • Vibration analysis techniques
  • Solid mechanics knowledge
NEXT STEPS
  • Research quantum mechanics applications in classical physics
  • Study vibration analysis of solid structures
  • Explore continuous boundary conditions in mechanical systems
  • Investigate existing literature on quantum mechanics and solid mechanics intersections
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, mechanical engineers, and students interested in the application of quantum mechanics to classical problems, particularly in vibration analysis and solid mechanics.

I came across a discussion on net recently, where projectile motion was solved using the quantum mechanical approach.
[PLAIN]http://www.physics.csbsju.edu/QM/fall.14.html[/PLAIN]
I have already seen solution of the vibrations in string using quantum mechanics.
I want to ask can i use quantum mechanics to find the vibrations in ring. if there is any text on this stuff available, please let me know. Need a little guidance before starting the rigorous calculation process.
Thank you

Wouldn't it be exactly the same as for the string except with continuous boundary conditions on the edge.

sorry i forgot to mention. By ring it meant a solid ring, whose vibration analysis will require the knowledge of solid mechanics. So now you see nature of problem differs entirely.
