Second Quantization Formalism
Quantum chemists we are seldom concern with phenomena involving variations in the number of particles, so they do not need to resort to quantum field theories to lay the foundations of their work (one exception are certain spectroscopic phenomena with require a quantum description of electromagnetic radiation). The standard quantum mechanic theory for material particles is then a sufficient bas...
متن کاملSecond-Quantization Formalism for Geminals
A method of constructing second-quantization formalism on a set of orthonormal geminals (two-particle antisymmetric functions) is described. Instead of using an initial set of creation and annihilation operators with nontrivial commutation rules, the so-. -called ideal creation and annihilation operators, satisfying elementary Bose commutation rules, are used. The resulting Hamiltonian and an a...
متن کاملAntimatter Gravity and Antihydrogen Production
Certain modern theories of gravity predict that antimatter will fall differently than matter in the Earth’s gravitational field. However, no experimental tests of gravity on antimatter exist and all conclusions drawn from experiments on matter depend, at some level, on a specific model. We have proposed a direct measurement that would compare the gravitational acceleration of antiprotons to tha...
متن کاملOn Problems of the Lagrangian Quantization of W3-gravity
We consider the two-dimensional model of W3-gravity within Lagrangian quantization methods for general gauge theories. We use the Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism to study the arbitrariness in the realization of the gauge algebra. We obtain a one-parametric non-analytic extension of the gauge algebra, and a corresponding solution of the classical master equation, related via an anticanonical transf...
متن کاملAntimatter interferometry for gravity measurements.
We describe a light-pulse atom interferometer that is suitable for any species of atom and even for electrons and protons as well as their antiparticles, in particular, for testing the Einstein equivalence principle with antihydrogen. The design obviates the need for resonant lasers through far-off resonant Bragg beam splitters and makes efficient use of scarce atoms by magnetic confinement and...
