  2. Quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_number

    A quantum number beginning in n = 3,ℓ = 0, describes an electron in the s orbital of the third electron shell of an atom. In chemistry, this quantum number is very important, since it specifies the shape of an atomic orbital and strongly influences chemical bonds and bond angles. The azimuthal quantum number can also denote the number of ...

  3. Interaction picture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interaction_picture

    Any possible choice of parts will yield a valid interaction picture; but in order for the interaction picture to be useful in simplifying the analysis of a problem, the parts will typically be chosen so that H 0,S is well understood and exactly solvable, while H 1,S contains some harder-to-analyze perturbation to this system.

  4. Dynamical pictures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_pictures

    In quantum mechanics, dynamical pictures (or representations) are the multiple equivalent ways to mathematically formulate the dynamics of a quantum system.. The two most important ones are the Heisenberg picture and the Schrödinger picture.

  5. Quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics

    Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory that describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms. [2]: 1.1 It is the foundation of all quantum physics, which includes quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science. Quantum mechanics can describe many systems that classical physics cannot.

  6. List of equations in quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    One particle: N particles: One dimension ^ = ^ + = + ^ = = ^ + (,,) = = + (,,) where the position of particle n is x n. = + = = +. (,) = /.There is a further restriction — the solution must not grow at infinity, so that it has either a finite L 2-norm (if it is a bound state) or a slowly diverging norm (if it is part of a continuum): [1] ‖ ‖ = | |.

  7. Hypercharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercharge

    SU(3) weight diagrams (see below) are 2 dimensional, with the coordinates referring to two quantum numbers: I 3 (also known as I z), which is the z component of isospin, and Y, which is the hypercharge (defined by strangeness S, charm C, bottomness B′, topness T′, and baryon number B).

  8. Madelung equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madelung_equations

    In theoretical physics, the Madelung equations, or the equations of quantum hydrodynamics, are Erwin Madelung's alternative formulation of the Schrödinger equation for a spinless non relativistic particle, written in terms of hydrodynamical variables, similar to the Navier–Stokes equations of fluid dynamics. [1]

  9. Probability current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_current

    In quantum mechanics, the probability current (sometimes called probability flux) is a mathematical quantity describing the flow of probability.Specifically, if one thinks of probability as a heterogeneous fluid, then the probability current is the rate of flow of this fluid.
