Probability Current and Current Operators in Quantum Mechanics
In the real space representation of QM, the momentum operator is p̂ = −ih̄~ ∇, and the vector potential depends only on the space coordinates and time. The main topic of these notes is to find and describe the operations and operators that would be used to calculate the electric currents associated with the motion of these particles, assumed to be electrons. That is a useful thing to have, becaus...
متن کاملQuantum probability distribution of arrival times and probability current density
Agreement with a conclusive experimental test is the ultimate requirement for establishing the validity of any theoretical proposal. However, discriminating experimentally among different alternatives is not always a straightforward matter. Indeed, under arbitrary experimental conditions it might be no possible to distinguish sufficiently among different conceivable alternatives as to guarantee...
متن کاملTime, Quantum Mechanics, and Probability
A variety of ideas arisiüg in decoherence theory, and in the ongoing debate over Everetts relative-state theory, can be linked to issues in relativity theory and the philosophy of time, speci cally the relational theory of tense and of identity over time. These have been systematically presented in companion papers (Saunders 1995, 1996a); in what follows we shall consider the same circle of id...
متن کاملConnecting spin and statistics in quantum mechanics
The spin-statistics connection is derived in a simple manner under the postulates that the original and the exchange wave functions are simply added, and that the azimuthal phase angle, which defines the orientation of the spin part of each single-particle spin-component eigenfunction in the plane normal to the spinquantization axis, is exchanged along with the other parameters. The spin factor...
متن کاملAn introduction to quantum probability, quantum mechanics, and quantum computation
Quantum mechanics is one of the most surprising sides of modern physics. Its basic precepts require only undergraduate or early graduate mathematics; but because quantum mechanics is surprising, it is more difficult than these prerequisites suggest. Moreover, the rigorous and clear rules of quantum mechanics are sometimes confused with the more difficult and less rigorous rules of quantum field...
