Questions related to Quantum Mechanics

Technical details about Stern-Gerlach apparatus and experiment with spin 1 atoms?

Dear friends, I am interested in the Stern-Gerlach experiment, with spin 1 atoms. I see in pictures that the apparatus contains two long magnets, typically, of 13 cm length. I am interested to...

When do we treat a set of particle with the non-relativistic QM, and when do we treat them with QFT?

Assume that the particles in the system don't react among themselves and don't undergo any change of the type of particle. Assume also that their energies are not very high, i.e. we don't have...

How magnetic properties relates to micro-structure/texture? does homogeneity or heterogeneity have any effect on magnetic properties?

Hello, the magnetic properties of metallic materials are mainly affected by their electrons structure in atoms. but I was wondering if micro-structure and the state of the grains have any effect...

Generalization of angular momentum in 4 space-time dimensions; how to understand angular momentum of a black hole?

L= r x p is a 3 dimensional relation. In 4 dimensions r and p are 4 vectors and L is a 4x4 matrix. We want to discuss conservation laws related to angular momentum in 4 space time dimensions. Then...

How can I quantify the vehicular traffic along a provincial road network connecting several urban centers?

I've not expertise on traffic flow assessment, but I need a simple model to calculate the amount of traffic on road stretches connecting several nodes, possibly by using only data on population of...

What is the energy density within non-relativistic quantum mechanics?

When googling for this topic, I don't get helpful results. In one article I have seen u=Re(psi* H psi). However, i), in stationary cases, the kinetic energy density, psi* T psi, becomes negative...

Could the Higgs boson be an artefact?

I found that in the LHC there can occur some symmetric ordering of protons in the high magnetic field. An interesting formation would be 6-ring+3-ring+1 = 10 protons. When two 10-protons packets...

Is it ok for perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), the film is either pollycrystalline of crystalline?

I do not have much knowledge about thin films. how a Polly-crystalline film can show magnetic anisotropy? why the pollycrystalline film is not good if the material show in-plane magnetic...

Is there any published experimental evidence that the photon (radiation) exerts gravitational attraction?

Reference to the equivalence principle is not an answer. Use in the Einstein tensor is not experimental evidence, nor is use in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) model for cosmology. Argument...

Why there is no aberration of light sources on earth?

The orbital speed v of the planet Earth is about 30km per second to the east. The ratio v/c against the speed of light is 1/10000. As the light propagates independently from it's source there is...

Can 'the collaps of a wavefunction' be understood as a computational breakdown due to Nature's limited computational resources?

Consider an electron entering a grain of salt (NaCl). In a quantum mechanical description of the process the wavefunction of the electron will see more and more ions in its range of influence and...

The "realism" hypothesis in QM. Do we have an experiment that disproves it?

The realism hypothesis in QM says that results of measurements on quantum systems, are completely determined by subquantal parameters (hidden or detectable, local or non-local). These parameters...

Why don't we have force operators in quantum mechanics?

Since, classically we define force as rate of change of momentum and by weyl rule we can map classical functions to quantum operators. Then, why is it that we don't often hear the word 'force...
