Mar 8, 2014 · A Hermitian operator A is defined by A=A (dagger) which is the transpose and complex conjugate of A. In 1-D the momentum operator is -i (h bar)d/dx. How can this be Hermitian as the …

Aug 25, 2012 · know I'm missing something obvious. for a momentum operator p = -iħ d/dx if I square the -iħ part I get (+1)ħ2 but I believe the correct value (as in the kinetic energy of the Hamiltonian) is …

Dec 10, 2024 · The momentum operator, defined as , is applicable in free space but requires modification in the presence of a vector potential, leading to the canonical momentum expression . …

Apr 27, 2024 · In Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by Griffiths and Schroeter, the IMO motivates the form of momentum operator in position basis in a very nice manner. However, the problem is that …

Jan 30, 2014 · To have an operator inherit the time dependence we simply make use of the unitary representation of time translations. Then our angular momentum operator would inherit time …

Nov 30, 2023 · The spin angular momentum operator commutes with both position and momentum (i.e., its commutator with those operators vanishes), since it operates on a different part of the Hilbert …

Feb 20, 2017 · In classical mechanics, angular momentum, L = r x p, depends of r. For a given momentum p, the bigger r is, the bigger is the angular momentum. Event in spherical coordinates, r …

Mar 26, 2005 · The discussion centers on the origin and understanding of the momentum operator in quantum mechanics, specifically the expression P = -ih/ (2π) * d/dx. Participants highlight the …
