Exploring the implications of the laws and principles of quantum physics in the field of talent (quantum theory of talent)
The issue of talent-discovering is one of the most important issues in the field of education and research that has always been a concern for educational systems. Studying the issues of identifying and guiding talented students can illuminate a large part of the activities of the executors and practitioners in order to accomplish their mission effectively. On the other hand, quantum physics has...
متن کاملCommentary on “Force-field functor theory: classical force-fields which reproduce equilibrium quantum distributions”
This comment regards a recent paper by Babbush, Parkhill, and AspuruGuzik (henceforth BPA) (Babbush et al., 2013). The subject is the equilibrium thermodynamics of a system of many quantum particles with Hamiltonian Ĥ = ∑N i= 1 p̂i /(2m)+ V(q̂), where q̂ = {q̂i} and the commutator of the coordinateand momentum operators is [q̂i, p̂j] = ih̄δij. In BPA it is correctly observed (see, e.g., Hillery et al....
متن کاملForce-field functor theory: classical force-fields which reproduce equilibrium quantum distributions
Feynman and Hibbs were the first to variationally determine an effective potential whose associated classical canonical ensemble approximates the exact quantum partition function. We examine the existence of a map between the local potential and an effective classical potential which matches the exact quantum equilibrium density and partition function. The usefulness of such a mapping rests in ...
متن کاملIrreversibility in Quantum Field Theory
It is shown how the programme of decoherence can be applied in the context of quantum field theory. To illustrate the role of gauge invariance, we first discuss the charge superselection rule in quantum electrodynamics in some detail. We then present an example where macroscopic electromagnetic fields are “measured” through interaction with charges and thereby rendered classical. A central role...
متن کاملSpin in Quantum Field Theory
I introduce spin in field theory by emphasizing the close connection between quantum field theory and quantum mechanics. First, I show that the spin–statistics connection can be derived in quantum mechanics without relativity or field theory. Then, I discuss path integrals for spin without using spinors. Finally, I show how spin can be quantized in a path–integral approach, without introducing ...
