Solution of quantum eigenvalue problems by means of algebraic consistency conditions
Luis de la Peña, Ana María Cetto, Andrea Valdés-Hernández
We present a simple algebraic procedure that can be applied to solve a range of quantum eigenvalue problems without the need to know the solution of the Schrödinger equation. The p…
On the physical origin of the quantum operator formalism
Ana María Cetto, Luis de la Peña, Andrea Valdés-Hernández
We offer a clear physical explanation for the emergence of the quantum operator formalism, by revisiting the role of the vacuum field in quantum mechanics. The vacuum or random zer…
How fast is a quantum jump?
Luis de la Peña, Ana María Cetto, Andrea Valdés-Hernández
A proposal is put forward for an estimate of the duration of a transition between atomic states. The proposal rests on the consideration that a resonance of the atomic electron wit…
