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 [...]

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 [...]

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,

Introduction
Information carried by a quantum system has notoriously weird properties. Physicists and engineers are now learning how to put that weirdness to work. Quantum computers, which manipulate quantum states rather than classical bits, may someday be able to perform tasks that would be inconceivable with conventional digital technology. A particularly daunting difficulty is [...]
