--- | | The Bohr Orbit
|
00:00 | | Success of Rutherford and Bohr orbit theory
|
00:38 | | Rutherford model, positive nucleus with electrons around it
|
00:50 | | Bohr found laws regarding motion of electrons - normal Newtonian classical laws but ignore radiation emission
|
01:50 | | Resolves why do electrons not fall into nucleus and emit radiation
|
02:20 | | Bohr added quantum conditions related to Planck constant
|
02:30 | | Electron jumps from orbit to orbit and emits quantum of radiation
|
03:05 | | Frequency related to energy through Planck constant
|
03:30 | | Successful in describing single electron systems, hydrogen and alkali elements
|
--- | | Extended by Hamilton
|
04:15 | | Bohr orbit theory revelation and acceptance
|
04:50 | | Sommerfeld added Hamiltonian variables of coordinates and momentum
|
05:33 | | Lagrange formulation of any function of position and velocities
|
05:50 | | Hamilton, 100 yrs earlier, replacing coordinates with momentum led to symmetry
|
07:00 | | Studied Hamiltonians by reading Whitaker and invariance of transformations
|
--- | | Problem with interaction of orbitals
|
07:47 | | Difficulties occur on interaction of orbits
|
08:00 | | Helium spectrum appears as 2 different spectra with rare interaction
|
08:30 | | Two kinds of helium - para and ortho
|
--- | | Heisenberg matrix mechanics
|
09:00 | | Heisenberg in 1925 introduces matrix mechanics
|
11:00 | | Understands importance of Heisenberg method
|
11:30 | | Bohr orbits not physical, cannot observer electrons, observations always involve 2 states
|
12:20 | | Concentrate on observations and represent particles as matrix arrays
|
13:30 | | Heisenberg handles matrices mathematically - multiplication does not compute, ie. A*B <> B*A
|
--- | | Matrix non-commutation
|
15:20 | | Dirac concentrates on non-commutation and adds to Newtonian mechanics
|
16:50 | | Describes discovery that non-commutation and Poisson bracket are same thing in 1925
|
20:20 | | Definition of Poisson bracket - p's and q's are Hamiltonian coordinates and momentum
|
22:20 | | Equation shows direct relationship and describes path from any classical system to new mechanics
|
23:08 | | Heisenberg (with Born) showed same thing through degrees of freedom
|
24:20 | | Equations of motion - hamiltonian q/p variables represent total energy
|
25:40 | | Schrodinger's quantum mechanics - equivalent to Heisenberg theory, only needed to add wave function
|
--- | | Atomic State subject to wave equation
|
27:50 | | Matrices associated with 2 atomic states, wave function represents an atomic state
|
28:08 | | Wave funtion Psi = function of particle coordinates x1, x2, x3 and time
|
28:30 | | Subject to wave equation where some operators produce zero
|
29:00 | | de Broglie's free particle wave equation shows momentum and energy equations are relativistic
|
31:00 | | Schrodinger applied de Broglie's free particle in an electric field
|
31:32 | | Hydrogen energy level calculation is wrong due to lack of term for spin component
|
32:47 | | Non-relativistic approximation gave correct Hydrogen energy levels
|
34:25 | | Wave equation is the Klein-Gordon equation
|
--- | | Quantum mechanics allows addition of spin
|
35:32 | | Schrodinger adds to Heisenberg theory to give single state
|
35:48 | | Heisenberg matrices correspond to linear operators applied to wave functions
|
36:05 | | Commutation relation between momentum and coordinate variables are same in 2 theories
|
37:50 | | Quantum mechanics more general then classical mechanics
|
38:35 | | Quantum mechanics can use any functions to give equations of motion for any hamiltonian variables
|
39:30 | | Ie., 3 componenets of spin s1, s2, s3 that satisfy same conditions as orbital angular momentum
|
41:06 | | Spin variables not expressable as q's and p's at all times
|
--- | | Mathmatical groups classify particles
|
42:10 | | Use groups, SU2 or SU3 to describe new particles being discovered
|
43:22 | | Used to study system with many particles - ie. lots of electrons
|
44:00 | | Symmetrical vs anti-symmetrical wave function permutation operators expands quantum mechanics
|
45:18 | | Explained the spectrum of ortho and para helium
|
45:47 | | Operators can be used for absorption and emission of particles, number of particles is not conserved
|
46:20 | | Led to Fields in Quantum Mechanics, allows for transformation of general dynamical variable
|
46:54 | | Average value of dynamic variable and their powers allows you to calculate probability of value
|
48:10 | | Formula for probability of particular value is square of modulus of wave function
|
49:00 | | P's and Q's do not commute so one cannot be calculated from the other
|
--- | | Not the end, more will come
|
50:15 | | Probability is best we can do with existing quantum mechanic formulas - does god play dice?
|
51:05 | | Bohr correct on existing quantum mechanics, but fundamental difficulties exist
|
52:00 | | People forget problem of interacting Bohr orbitals, but are too complacent in accepting current QM
|
52:35 | | Final answer will involve large basic change in ways of thinking
|
52:50 | | Who knows what will happen to determinism, we cannot go back to classical physics
