Interesting. I never heard of a group here in the Philippines serious enough to discuss Quantum Physics. This is good news. I am a computer science graduate student interested in Quantum Computing. I hope we could start some discussion and eventually could come up with a paper.

Comment on Three Dimensional Virial Theorem for the Hydrogen Atom by admin

Gekko, definitely you’re right. Kinetic energy is definitely positive. Equation (3) actually refers to the total energy and this post has been updated accordingly.
Thanks for pointing this out!

In Eq (3), isn’t this the *total* energy (kinetic + potential) of an electron in the n-th energy level? It is negative, which doesn’t to make sense for a kinetic energy…

Quantum mechanics is the study of the relationship between quanta & elementary particles in physics. Among other relationships the valence shell electrons & photons are quantized.

I just found this site a while back when a buddy of mine recommended it to me. I’ve been an avid reader ever since.

@shahab: I don’t see any trick on this. Everything is just fine. The eigenvectors were not just “chosen” but actually solved from the other matrix (\Lambda) which commutes with the matrix (\Omega) you wanted to diagonalize. The only important thing missing here is that it wasn’t mentioned that this method only works if both matrices commute.

well im not too sure but i think you have tricked us here….
in practice one doesnt happen to choose the values for the e’vectors of the degenerate matrix that fits the other one…!
