Quantum mechanics describes the microscopic properties of nature in a regime where classical mechanics no longer applies. It explains phenomena such as the wave-particle duality, quantization of energy, and the uncertainty principle and is generally used in single-body systems. Use the quantum-field-theory tag for the theory of many-body quantum-mechanical systems.

What is "Density of States" and how does one generally find it?

I'm walking out of a graduate quantum midterm kicking myself because I was asked to compute density of states as a function of energy for a spin $1/2$ particle of mass $m$ in a hard wall box of length …

Commutator of $K$ and $\alpha_p^\dagger$

I am trying to find the commutator of $K$, which is just the infinitesimal generator of Lorenz boosts, and $\alpha_p^\dagger$, the creation operator for a particle of momentum $p$ defined by: $$\alpha …

Quantum Harmonic Oscillator With a Sudden Change in Electric Field

Consider the following hamiltonian: $$H=\begin{cases} \frac{p^2}{2m}+\frac{1}{2}m\omega_0^2x^2,&\text{ for }t<0\\ \frac{p^2}{2m}+\frac{1}{2}m\omega_0^2x^2-q\epsilon_0x,&\text{ for }t>0 \en …

Confusion About Time Dependent Perturbation Theory

Say for simplicity we are in a two state system with a Hamiltonian: $$H=H_0+V(t)$$ Where $H_0$ is: $$\begin{pmatrix} \epsilon_0&0\\ 0&\epsilon_1 \end{pmatrix}$$ While $V(t)$ is: $$\begin{pmatrix} 0&V_ …
