In quantum mechanics, relativistic correction to the energy levels of a system is used when it is introduced by a little disturbance we often recognized as . Fine structure is an example of this where the splitting of spectral lines of atoms is due to its first-order relativistic corrections. [...]

On the EPR paper “Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality be Considered Complete?”
Sunday, March 21st, 2010LUTCHIE DYAN S. MENDOZA
In the May 15, 1935 issue of Physical Review , Albert Einstein co-authored a paper with his two postdoctoral research associates at the Institute for Advanced Study, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen. The paper, known as EPR, became a centerpiece in debates, challenging the validity of Quantum Theory.
The paper features a striking [...]

Commutation of Spin, Angular and Spin-Orbital Momentum
Saturday, March 20th, 2010Marichu T. Miscala
In quantum mechanics, the presence of spin-orbit coupling gives rise to the Hamiltonian that will no longer commute with , and , so the spin and orbital momenta are not separately conserved.
In order to understand this concept better, a commutation problem for orbital angular momentum , spin , and spin-orbital momentum is presented here.
Consider [...]

Quantum Mechanics Violating Bell’s Inequality
Saturday, March 20th, 2010Lotis R. Racines
Einstein never liked quantum mechanics. He didn’t like the idea that the momentum of a particle, if it’s position was known, was completely unknowable: that is, random [1]. He even said that: “God does not play dice with the universe.” which was referred to Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics that there exists no [...]

Three Dimensional Virial Theorem for the Hydrogen Atom
Saturday, March 20th, 2010Catherine Therese J. Quiñones
The virial theorem is a general theorem relating the potential energy (V) and the kinetic energy (KE) in a bound system. A simple physical example is a small object orbiting around another object bound by a force. The virial theorem states that the potential energy is twice the kinetic energy thus,
