Vectors, Spinors, and Complex Numbers in Classical and Quantum Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
Geometric calculus is shown to unite vectors, spinors, and complex numbers into a single mathematical system with a comprehensive geometric significance. The efficacy of this calculus in physical applications is explicitly demonstrated. [Note: The terms “multivector algebra” and “multivector calculus” originally used in this paper have been replaced throughout by the terms “geometric algebra” and “geometric calculus,” which have since become standard terms.]

Motivated by recent experiments that detects Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction in , we study the effects of DM interaction on magnetic orders of J1-J2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. First, we find the classical phase diagram of the model using Luttinger-Tisza approximation. In this approximation, the classical phase diagram has two phases. For , the model has canted Neel and DM intera...
متن کاملFrom Pure Spinor Geometry to Quantum Physics: A Mathematical Way
In the search of a mathematical basis for quantum mechanics, in order to render it self-consistent and rationally understandable, we find that the best approach is to adopt É. Cartan’s way for discovering spinors; that is to start from 3-dimensional null vectors and then show how they may be represented by two dimensional spinors. We have now only to go along this path, however in the opposite ...
متن کاملA Non-Demolition Photon Counting Method by Four-Level Inverted Y-Type Atom
The semi-classical model of atom-field interaction has been fully studied for some multilevel atoms, e.g. Vee, L, Cascade X , Y, and inverted Y and so on. This issue is developed into the full-quantum electrodynamics formalism, where the probe and coupling electromagnetic fields are quantized. In this article, we investigate the full-quantum model of absorption and dispersion spectrum of trappe...
متن کاملFrom Pure Spinors to Quantum Physics and to Some Classical Field Equations like Maxwell’s and Gravitational
Abstract In a previous paper [1] we proposed a purely mathematical way to quantum mechanics based on Cartan’s simple spinors in their most elementary form of 2 components spinors. Here we proceed along that path proposing, this time, a symmetric tensor, quadrilinear in simple spinors, as a candidate for the symmetric tensor of general relativity. The procedure resembles closely that in which on...
متن کاملSome Basic Aspects of Fractional Quantum Numbers1
Spin is already a great unifying principle in theoretical physics, but its potential is far from exhausted. Here I discuss – very concisely – the role of spin in particle physics, in space-time physics, and in ideas for unified field theories. I then discuss spin as an emergent property, as it arises in connection with abelian and nonabelian anyons. I regret that I was unable prepare a proper r...
