Wavefunctions for more than one particle: Different kinds of particles
Introductory examples of quantum mechanical wavefunction calculations involve a single particle moving about in a “magic” potential energy—e.g., a particle trapped inside a square well or an electron in a hydrogen atom. But, potential energy arises from interaction, so these situations must inevitably include more than one particle. Even the simplest atom—hydrogen— consists of two particles: the electron and the proton. So, how should the Schrödinger Equation be generalized to account for multiple particles?

The classical picture of how electrons migrate through a resistor driven by an applied potential difference draws an analogy with a kind of pinball machine. In a pinball machine, gravity accelerates the pinball down the table, but the ball’s progress is impeded by collisions with bumpers, as depicted to the right. (θ is the angle the table makes with the horizontal direction.) When averaged over many collisions the ball’s average equation of motion is ma = mg sinθ − mv/τ , where a and v are directed down the table, and τ is the average time between collisions. If the …

The finite square well
The infinite square well potential energy rigorously restricts the associated wavefunction to an exact region of space: it is infinitely “hard.” Potential energies encountered in more realistic physical scenarios are “softer” in that they permit wavefunctions to spread throughout less well-defined regions. An important toy example of the latter is the finite square well. In this problem, the potential energy function is U(x) = 0, if 0 < x < L, and U0 otherwise.

The 3D infinite square well: quantum dots, wells, and wires
In the preceding discussion of the Schrödinger Equation the particle of interest was assumed to be “moving in the x -direction.” Of course, it is not possible for a particle to be moving in one spatial direction only. If that were true, according to the HUP it could be anywhere in the y - and z -directions and therefore be undetectable with finite volume detectors. Now, we consider the more realistic case of motion in all three spatial directions. For this purpose, we start with the 3D infinite square well. …

The Schrödinger equation: the quantum description of one massive, slow-moving particle
To establish a probability wave equation for one photon, it was useful to note that probability density and electromagnetic energy density were proportional. The governing equation for EM radiation fields is the Maxwell wave equation, which is also the governing equation for photon probability wave functions. Converting from EM radiation to photon information is made plausible by identifying energy and momentum operators with time- and space-derivatives, respectively. Thus, the Maxwell wave equation can be interpreted as being equivalent to the energy-momentum relation for photons. Though we don’t have a …

The sanitized hydrogen atom: separating the variables
Separation of variables in the Schrödinger Equation for the hydrogen problem requires expressing Ψ as a product, Ψ(r,θ,φ,t) = R(r)Θ(θ )Φ(φ)T(t) , substituting into the partial differential equation [(5) in Sc3], and then dividing by Ψ. As in the square well problems, the separation constant for the t part of the separation is the particle’s eigen-energy, E.

The social and organizational history of humanity is intricately entangled with the history of technology in general and the technology of information in particular. Advances in this area have often been closely involved in social and political transformations. While the contemporary period is often referred to by such names as the Computing and Information Age, this is the culmination of a series of historical transformations that have been centuries in the making. This course will provide a venue for students to learn about history through the evolution of number systems and arithmetic, calculating and computing machines, and advanced communication technology …

Physics Faculty Publications
© 2017 Author(s). This paper describes MicroHH 1.0, a new and open-source (www.microhh.org) computational fluid dynamics code for the simulation of turbulent flows in the atmosphere. It is primarily made for direct numerical simulation but also supports large-eddy simulation (LES). The paper covers the description of the governing equations, their numerical implementation, and the parameterizations included in the code. Furthermore, the paper presents the validation of the dynamical core in the form of convergence and conservation tests, and comparison of simulations of channel flows and slope flows against well-established test cases. The full numerical model, including the associated parameterizations for …

Sea Level Rise May Increase Extinction Risk Of A Saltmarsh Ontogenetic Habitat Specialist, David S. Johnson, Bethany L. Williams
VIMS Articles
Specialist species are more vulnerable to environmental change than generalist species. For species with ontogenetic niche shifts, specialization may occur at a particular life stage making those stages more susceptible to environmental change. In the salt marshes in the northeast U.S., accelerated sea level rise is shifting vegetation patterns from flood-intolerant species such as Spartina patens to the flood-tolerant Spartina alterniflora. We tested the potential impact of this change on the coffee bean snail, Melampus bidentatus, a numerically dominant benthic invertebrate with an ontogenetic niche shift. From a survey of eight marshes throughout the northeast U.S., small snails …

Rating By Ranking: An Improved Scale For Judgement-Based Labels, Jack O'Neill, Sarah Jane Delany, Brian Mac Namee
Conference papers
Labels representing value judgements are commonly elicited using an interval scale of absolute values. Data collected in such a manner is not always reliable. Psychologists have long recognized a number of biases to which many human raters are prone, and which result in disagreement among raters as to the true gold standard rating of any particular object. We hypothesize that the issues arising from rater bias may be mitigated by treating the data received as an ordered set of preferences rather than a collection of absolute values. We experiment on real-world and artificially generated data, finding that treating label ratings …
