Recoupling in spin network theories refers to the process of transforming the coupling of spins to explore different quantum states. The term suggests a historical context where "decoupling" may have occurred, leading to the need for recoupling to understand interactions better. Participants in the discussion seek specific references to papers that explain these concepts further. The inquiry highlights a curiosity about the evolution of these theories and their implications in quantum physics. Understanding recoupling is essential for advancing knowledge in spin networks and their applications.

Hi Pfs
My question is not technical. I found papers about recoupling theories about spin networks.
i see what they are about but why this word "recoupling"?
Was there before a decoupling and recoupling whar?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Would you please cite the papers? Makes me curious!

We often see discussions about what QM and QFT mean, but hardly anything on just how fundamental they are to much of physics. To rectify that, see the following; https://www.cambridge.org/engage/api-gateway/coe/assets/orp/resource/item/66a6a6005101a2ffa86cdd48/original/a-derivation-of-maxwell-s-equations-from-first-principles.pdf 'Somewhat magically, if one then applies local gauge invariance to the Dirac Lagrangian, a field appears, and from this field it is possible to derive Maxwell’s...
