Lecture Notes on Special Relativity - Macquarie University

Chapter 1 Introduction: What is Relativity? U the end of the 19th century it was believed that Newton’s three Laws of Motion and the associated ideas about the properties of space and time provided a basis on which the motion of matter could be completely understood.

Particle Spin and the Stern-Gerlach Experiment

Chapter 6 Particle Spin and the Stern-Gerlach Experiment The spin of an elementary particle would appear, on the surface, to be little different from the spin of a macroscopic object – the image of a microscopic sphere spinning around some axis

Observables and Measurements in Quantum Mechanics

haustive collection of results obtained when measuring some physical property, or observable, of the system. This linking of particular states with particular measured results provides a way that the observable properties of a quantum system can be described in quantum mechanics, that is in terms of Hermitean operators.

Quantum Tunneling

current density, the wave function must have a position dependent phase. Otherwise, the phase of Ψ(x,t) will be the same as the phase of ∇~Ψ(x,t) and therefore Ψ∗∇~Ψ will be real. The current density for an electron in a stationary state of the form Ψ(x,t)=ψ(x) exp(−iωt) is zero since the phase dependence has no spatial dependence.

Since exp(iϕ) = cos(ϕ) + i sin(ϕ), E(x,t) can also be written: E(x,t) = Re { E 0 exp[i(kx – ωt – θ)] } Recall that the energy transferred by a wave (flux density) is proportional to the square of the amplitude, i.e., E 0 2. Only the interaction of the wave with matter can alter the energy of the propagating wave.
