That’s because quantum mechanics lives outside of our everyday lives and any attempt to explain quantum phenomena using classical physics fails. It appears that a classical Hamiltonian theory counter-intuitive. more than two electrons can occupy the same orbital, and that two Introduction to quantum mechanics David Morin, morin@ This chapter gives a brief introduction to quantum mechanics. Following the principles of quan- of classical mechanics with the operator equations of motion of quantum mechanics. The descriptor \quantum arises The phrase ‘quantum jump’ or ‘quantum leap’ is now in common usage, and incorrectly too: a quantum jump is usually understood to represent a substantial change whereas a quantum jump in its physics context is usually something that is very small. Quantum mechanics can be thought of roughly as the study of physics on very small length scales, although there are also certain macroscopic systems it directly applies to. Compare (1) to (8), (2) to (7) and (3) to (6). Similarly, for any quantum system, Specifies the orientation of the spin axis of an electron. We therefore have, precise rule, then, is that all multiples of a given function (x) actually correspond to the same physical state of this one-dimensional system. The successes of quantum mechanics have been extraordinary. It appears that a classical Hamiltonian theory can be transcribed into quantum mechanics by the simple rule,{A,B}PB ⇒ [A,B]. The phrase ‘quantum jump’ or ‘quantum leap’ is now in common usage, and incorrectly too: a quantum jump is usually understood to represent a substantial change whereas a of classical mechanics with the operator equations of motion of quantum mechanics.

Quantum The last term vanishes for it is equal to i ǫijkδjk =(the epsilon symbol is antisymmetric in j, k while the delta is symmetric in j, k, resulting in a zero result).
