Influence of the Angular Momentum in Problems Continuum Mechanics

Angular Momentum in Quantum Mechanics

We begin with a review of the basic concepts involved in the quantum mechanical description of physical systems and the notation we will use in the lectures. The notes in this Section are not intended to provide an introductory course on Quantum Mechanics. They assume the reader has had at least a first course at undergraduate physics level that covers some historical background and reviews the...

Semiclassical matrix-mechanics. II. Angular momentum operators

Semiclassical angular momentum matrices are calculated using a new contourintegral formula for matrix-elements WKB sphencal harrnonic functions are found to be exactly orthonormal with the contour-integral inner-product Matnx-elements obtained from these wavefunctions are accurate to about 2 9b and the matrices obey the cornrnutation relations expected of quantum angular momentum operators The ...

Photon orbital angular momentum: problems and perspectives

Electromagnetic fields can carry, besides energy, linear and angular momentum. The exchange of linear momentum with matter produces forces due to radiation pressure. That comet tails point away from the Sun because light carries linear momentum was first suggested by Kepler. A complete account of radiation pressure was developed by Poynting in 1905 in terms of electromagnetic linear momentum de...
