Dirac notation
Просмотров 41 тыс.9 лет назад
Dirac's bracket notation is an elegant and concise way of expressing many of the key ideas in quantum mechanics, making the distinction between the state and its representations clear, making orthonormalization easy to state, and expressing completeness in terms of projection operators.

Energy-time uncertainty
Просмотров 18 тыс.9 лет назад
The energy-time uncertainty principle is not only different from the usual position-momentum uncertainty relation, it cannot be derived in the same way. This video describes a derivation in terms of the time derivative of an expectation value. (This lecture is part of a series for a course based on Griffiths' Introduction to Quantum Mechanics.

Generalized uncertainty principle
Просмотров 17 тыс.9 лет назад
The uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics is derived from the product of the uncertainties of two observables, manipulated so as to be expressed in terms of a commutator.

Quantum statistical mechanics
Просмотров 25 тыс.11 лет назад
Assuming all configurations of a quantum system with a given total energy are equally likely, you can find the statistical properties of quantum mechanical systems. This is a deep topic, and this lecture just scratches the surface, but the distribution of particle energies for distinguishable particles, fermions, and bosons are given, and the path to their derivation as the most probable state ...
Band structure of energy levels in solids
Просмотров 25 тыс.11 лет назад
Improving on the free electron gas treatment of electrons in solids by including a periodic array of atoms leads to a Schrodinger equation that can be solved with Bloch's theorem and boundary condition matching to give band structure in the energy levels. These bands provide a good explanation of the difference between insulators, conductors, and semiconductors, and can help explain how the ele...
Free electrons in conductors
Просмотров 18 тыс.11 лет назад
Given sufficient hand-waving, conduction electrons in conductors are free to move about within but cannot be found outside the material and do not significantly interact with each other. Within that framework, we can find the lowest energy state of the system of electrons as a system of conduction electrons as many fermions occupying quantum states starting with the lowest energy and moving up ...
Two particle systems
Просмотров 39 тыс.11 лет назад
Multiple particle systems in quantum mechanics are described by wavefunctions with many arguments. Such wavefunctions must also obey exchange symmetry or antisymmetry in order to describe the particles as indistinguishable. There are two ways to achieve this symmetry/antisymmetry, referred to in the particle physics context as to fermions and bosons, where fermions obey the Pauli exclusion prin...
Exchange forces
Просмотров 18 тыс.11 лет назад
The requirement that particles be indistinguishable in quantum mechanics does have observable effects, producing an effective "exchange force" whenever two single-particle wavefunctions overlap.

The process of adding angular momentum in quantum mechanics is a rich topic, one that we can only briefly touch on, but it is an important topic that you should be aware of. Here there be Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. (This lecture is part of a series for a course based on Griffiths' Introduction to Quantum Mechanics.

Spin 1/2 in a B-field
Просмотров 39 тыс.11 лет назад
The behavior of the spin 1/2 system in a magnetic field is interesting experimentally since particle with spin have magnetic dipole moments. This lecture discusses the effects of magnetic energy and magnetic force on such dipoles, resulting in Larmor precession and quantized deflection in the Stern-Gerlach experiment.

The spin-1/2 quantum system is a two-state quantum system where the spin angular momentum operators are represented in a basis of eigenstates of L_z as 2x2 matrices, which can be used to predict the outcomes of measurements.

I kind of liked that proof of the roots of unity. that x^3=1 bit. You make y=0, the unity thing kicks in anyway.
Check your understanding: . . . . 1: H applies on the right state |ψm>, and return Em|ψm>. Em is just and number and get outside of the braket. So Hnm = Em<ψn|ψm> 2: Hnm is a diagonal matrix with values E1,E2...En on its diagonal line. 3: a+|ψm> and returns 1*|ψm+1>. a+nm = <ψn|ψm+1>. 4: a+nm is a off-diagonal matrix with values 1,1,1,1,1.... on the line just below the diagonal line.
Check Your Understanding at 19:30: . . . Part 1: a. Got (QR+RQ-2(µQ)(µR))/2, So it's not a commutator I guess. b. -(µQ)(µR) is an extra term, what does it mean? Part 2: Because µR is just a number, it could be moved outside of the braket to the front, and the rest part is just expectation of Q.
It is now 2024... I already forgot how much difference you can feel between 480p and 720p. This video is much sharper than the previous one.
Check Your understanding: Part 1: C2=0, C3=1, C4=0 Part 2: -a/pi
How do we know that psi-0 is equal to B? Isn't it that we can not use psi-1 or psi-2 equations to solve for psi-0 because they do not include x=0? Then why are we using them to find psi-0?

Had to set the playback speed to 0.75 that was way too fast man
Thank you for these lectures, these make so much more sense!!
Amazing, just check the comments for certain errors or keep the Griffiths book next to you to verify. Thank you for the video
At time 5:17 is said that the average momentum of an electron is zero because the Hydrogen atom is not moving: this is true only as for as the vecton momentum is conserned not as its value though which is constant.
Momentum is a vector quantity. It has a magnitude certainly but if you say 'momentum' then you are talking about magnitude and direction which on average is definitely zero.
Thank you Dr. Carlson! Just blazed through your PHY4200 playlist to study for my final. You're an amazing teacher and your explanations really helped build intuition.
When you write p-hat squared psi, does that mean p-hat(p-hat(psi)) or does it mean (p-hat(psi))(p-hat(psi)), i.e. squared in the traditional sense. For that matter, it looks like you're using (x-hat)(p-hat)psi = x-hat(p-hat(psi)), otherwise they would commute. But earlier, you definitely treated (p-hat)(p-hat) as p-hat squared. Can someone clarify please?
why isn't at 22:30 the phi function an arbitrary sum of opposite exponentials as opposed to just one exponential nonetheless m ends up a whole number
so from the wave animation the wavelet flattens out and there is no more wavelet and the probability animation suggest that the particle can be anywhere. Is that right?
at around 6:00 you assume the function only contains sines and cosines instead of letting it be complex exponentials, it ends up the same because once you assume those complex exponentials form an even function, then you arrive at sine anyways
Maaaaaaaaaany thanks
YAYY the static wavey has no momentum YUPPIIEEE
What the fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk 😢
that's what I neeeeeeed!
why can you write a+ in the left side? isn't that implying that the ladder and the hamiltonian commute? (which they seem not to)
you mixed up minus and plus signs in the opperators, but ill let it slide ;)
Thank you about the last part in particular. It does seem quite fishy, but it is very necessary in QFT. That one part caught me by surprize.
5:20 Maybe the correct approach is to say: It's NOT a point particle. If you do a measurement that collapses the wave function, then its position collapses to a point. But the rest of the time, it's a spread out thing. How does quantum field theory describe the electron? NOT as a point particle, right? But as a spread-out disturbance in a field, right? So maybe SPIN is some kind of phenomenon in what the electron field is doing.
Maaaaaaaany thanks
Great lecture. Thank you!
19:00 "It SORT OF goes to zero". I'm thinking it might DEFINITELY GO TO ZERO if we use the Lebesgue Integral.
You saved me man, thank you so much
3:00 Eigenvectors means "characteristic vectors" in this context.
3:44 am and 6 hours till ny final
Just pointing out since youtube has auto-generated video chapters. The sigma are called the "Pauli matrices", NOT the "polymatrices" as the caption algorithm has referred to them as. Just to clear up any potential confusion for newcomers.
Dr. Carlson - you refer to "the text book" in your videos. Who is the author and what is the edition? Thank you!
still the BEST video
41:13 The subscript for the associated Laguerre polynomial is q+p NOT q-p. Common rookie mistake!
I think not, look at the book again where it is defined {L^p}_q
3:25 Kittenic energy? I prefer the Pupperic energy, myself 🙂 (But only if it's a Smol amount of Pupperic energy).
Interesting, personal i like the U shape wave point before the transition to the next energy levels. I seen where using F transformer using all wave frequencies you can make U shape waves. 31:20
Attached is my video that made be a useful model of your lecture. ruclips.net/video/wrBsqiE0vG4/видео.htmlsi=3RF3qV49JIG_gtNN
25:30 I can see how the TOTAL "area under the curve" adds up to zero. Because you've got as much area above the x axis as you have below it. But TECHNICALLY, I can see how... you've got the Riemann integral. Then you've got Riemann integrals with the limit as the upper and lower limits of the integral tend to infinity - and THAT DOESN'T CONVERGE in this case. BUT.... I imagine that the LEBESGUE integral can come to the rescue here and fix things nicely! 🙂
17:25 Instead of putting e to the -x and e to the x, it should say e to the -1 and e to the 1, i.e. 1/e and e.
This model might make some aspirin students a nice science fair project. ruclips.net/video/wrBsqiE0vG4/видео.htmlsi=3RF3qV49JIG_gtNN
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done. Check out my model and test video. For best results sample the multiverse with care.
5:20 Shouldn't there be a square root on that 1/2pi?
30:20 Looks like it's on fire!
Found this channel from a rhcp guitar cover, interesting
2:50 When you drew that tent... MASSIVE FLASHBACK. Scout camp. Putting up tents. 34 years ago!
