Lecture 7 8.321 Quantum Theory I, Fall 2017 39 Lecture 7 (Sep. 27, 2017) 7.1 Spin Precession In a Magnetic Field Last time, we began discussing the classic example of precession of a spin- 1 particle in a magnetic field. The Hamiltonian of this system is 2 With B = Bzˆ, this becomes The energy levels are giving a level ...

. For example, if we initially have |ψ(cid:105) = |+(cid:105), then which has |ψ(t)(cid:105) = e−iωt/2|+(cid:105) , Prob(cid:0)Sz (cid:126)= (cid:1) =2 1 (7.10) (7.11) for all times. This is why energy eigenstates are often called stationary states. Because time evolution is generated by the Hamiltonian, energy eigenst...

) (cid:18) ωt 2 (cid:19)(cid:21) (cid:18) ωt 2 (cid:126) 2 = cos(ωt) . (7.16) We see that this oscillates as a function of time, with angular frequency ω, as we expect from our classical intuition. What can we learn from this calculation? If we have a general initial state represented by nˆ on the Bloch sphere, then nˆ...

ˆ . (7.22) This is the same equation as for classical spins, but the interpretation is entirely different because S is now an operator. If we take the expectation value of each side of this expression, we will get the same answers that we found in the Schr¨odinger picture. 7.2 Particle in a Potential We have said, on ge...

, in practice this can often be very difficult. In the Heisenberg picture, we simply care about the operators, (cid:126) (cid:126) xH(t) = eiHt/ xe−iHt/ , pH(t) = eiHt/(cid:126)pe−iHt/(cid:126) . (7.27) Using the Heisenberg picture equation of motion, we see that the operator xH evolves according to dxH dt = 1 i(cid:126)...

we take the expectation values of Eqs. (7.29) and (7.30), we find d(cid:104)x(cid:105) dt d(cid:104)p(cid:105) dt = = − (cid:104)p(cid:105) , m (cid:28) dV dx (cid:29) .

Therefore the matrix elements of the right-hand side gives k′; jm′j| h which implies that ( ˆV ˆJ) ˆJ · k; jmji | = ~2 j(j + 1) k′; jm′j| h ˆV k; jmji | , (2.5.14) k′; jm′j| h ˆV k; jmji | k′; jm′j| = h ˆJ) ˆJ ( ˆV k; jmji | · ~2 j(j + 1) .

calculated but it will introduce no mj dependence. In fact ˆS ˆJ is a scalar operator (it commutes with all ˆJi) and therefore it is diagonal in mj. But even more is true; the expectation value of a scalar operator is in fact independent of mj! We will not show this here, but will just confirm it by direct computation. ...

corrections to the fine structure energy levels. Since all degeneracies within j multiplets are broken and j multiplets with different ℓ split differently due to the ℓ dependence of gJ (ℓ), the weak-field Zeeman effect removes all degeneracies! 2mc ≃ 5.79 10− × Strong-field Zeeman effect. We mentioned earlier that when the Ze...

the original H (0) degenerate spaces using the uncoupled basis. But happily, it turns out that spin-orbit is diagonal in the more limited degenerate subspaces obtained after the Zeeman effect is included. All these matters are explored in the homework.

For example, if electrons that are known to all be soft have their color measured, half will be black and half will be white...

from the first two boxes, if hardness and color were interchanged, et cetera. Apparently, the presence of the hardness box tampers with color, because without the hardness box, repeatability would ensure that all the originally measured white electrons would come out white again. This is suspicious! You may be askin...

might now be thinking that this just applies to the hardness and color of electrons. Actually, every object has similar properties, including me, you, and a paper copy of these notes! These properties hold true every time they are tried with new systems, though it is simply easier to test these with electrons. This...

Every electron takes the hard path, so the color box input is always hard. Then, feeding hard electrons into the color box yields half as black and half as white. Indeed, this is empirically correct as well! 8.04: Lecture 1 7 Figure 9: Send in hard, split by hardness, recombine, measure color Third, let us se...

an effect on electrons in the hard path, given that the hard path could ultimately be many millions of kilometers away. Hence, we expect half as many electrons to exit, and all of them should be white. Empirically, though, while the overall output is indeed down by half, once again half of the electrons are white an...

This is also true of molecules, bacteria, and other macroscopic objects, though the effects are harder to detect. Physicists call such modes as being defined by superposition, which for now means “we have no clue what is going on”. In the context of our previous experiments, an initially white electron inside the appa...

is really weird, but true. If all of this staggers your intuition, that is because your intuition was honed by throwing spears, putting bread in a toaster, and playing with Rubik’s cubes, all of which involve things things so big that quantum effects are not noticeable. Hence, you can safely and consistently ignore...
