Mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics in the language of functional analysis: states as unit vectors in Hilbert space, observables as self-adjoint operators, the spectral theorem, the Schrödinger equation and unitary evolution, and the harmonic oscillator.

आप सीखेंगे

  • Explain why observables are modelled by self-adjoint, possibly unbounded, operators and measurement outcomes by their spectra.
  • Solve the quantum harmonic oscillator using ladder operators.
  • Derive the Robertson–Heisenberg uncertainty relation from commutators.

परिभाषा

  • A pure state is a unit vector in a Hilbert space H, determined up to a phase.
  • An observable is a self-adjoint operator A on H; measuring it gives values in the spectrum of A.
  • Time evolution is ψ(t) = e^(−itH/ℏ) ψ(0), where H is the Hamiltonian.

प्रमेय

  • Stone's theorem: strongly continuous one-parameter unitary groups correspond to self-adjoint generators.
  • Robertson's inequality: σ_A σ_B ≥ ½ |⟨[A, B]⟩|.
  • The harmonic oscillator has energy levels ℏω(n + ½) for n = 0, 1, 2, ….
  • The canonical commutation relation [x, p] = iℏ has no solution in bounded operators.

आम भ्रांतियाँ

  • Treating unbounded operators as if they were bounded; their domains matter.
  • Interpreting the uncertainty principle only as a statement about clumsy measurement.
