Destruction operator

The appropriate quantum mechanical operator fomi of the phase has been the subject of numerous efforts. At present, one can only speak of the best approximate operator, and this also is the subject of debate. A personal historical account by Nieto of various operator definitions for the phase (and of its probability distribution) is in [27] and in companion articles, for example, [130-132] and others, that have appeared in Volume 48 of Physica Scripta T (1993), which is devoted to this subject. (For an introduction to the unitarity requirements placed on a phase operator, one can refer to [133]). In 1927, Dirac proposed a quantum mechanical operator tf), defined in terms of the creation and destruction operators [134], but London [135] showed that this is not Hermitean. (A further source is [136].) Another candidate, e is not unitary. [Pg.103]

This operator is a destruction operator and has the property that it annihilates the vacuum... [Pg.507]

The proof is by induction. It is clearly true for two factors since then it reduces to the definition of the contraction symbol. Furthermore, it is sufficient to prove the theorem under the assumption that Z is a creation operator and that all the operators UV XY are destruction operators. If UV- - -XY are all destruction operators and Z is a creation operator, we may then add any number of creation operators to the left of all factors on both sides of Eq. (10-196) within the N product, without impairing the validity of our theorem, since the contraction between two creation operators gives zero. If on the other hand Z is a destruction operator and UV - - - are creation operators, then Eq. (10-196) reduces to a trivial identity... [Pg.610]

In order to proceed now to a statistical mechanical description of the corresponding relaxation process, it is convenient to solve the equation of motion for the creation and destruction operators and cast them in a form ressembling a Generalized Langevin equation. We will only sketch the procedure. [Pg.306]

The Fourier components aR and / are, in (55), functions of the vector k. In QED, a.R (k) is interpreted as a destruction operator of photonic states with energy co, linear momentum k and spin k/oo, while the function aR becomes the creation operator aR of such states. Analogously, a (k) is a destmction operator of photonic states with energy co, linear momentum k and spin — k/co, and ut is the correspondent creation operator [58]. [Pg.217]

In both the baseline incineration system and the modified baseline process, energetics are removed in explosive containment rooms (ECRs) as part of the agent destruction operation in the munitions demilitarization building (MDB). A work-in-progress (WIP) buffer inventory is provided between the energetics removal step and the rest of the operation. The same type of energetics removal equipment is used in both the baseline system and the modified baseline process. [Pg.31]

The above approaches estimate the excitation rate by using either second-order perturbation theory [6] or a re-summation to all orders in perturbation theory [20,21]. In order to be able to sum the infinite series of perturbation theory references [20,21], we use an orthogonal basis-set of the model Hamiltonian (2) (the creation and destruction operators need to... [Pg.224]

The reference state of A-electron theory becomes a reference vacuum state 4>) in the field theory. A complete orthonormal set of spin-indexed orbital functions fip(x) is defined by eigenfunctions of a one-electron Hamiltonian Ti, with eigenvalues ep. The reference vacuum state corresponds to the ground state of a noninteracting A-electron system determined by this Hamiltonian. N occupied orbital functions (el < pi) are characterized by fermion creation operators a such that a] ) =0. Here pt is the chemical potential or Fermi level. A complementary orthogonal set of unoccupied orbital functions are characterized by destruction operators aa such that aa < >) = 0 for ea > p and a > N. A fermion quantum field is defined in this orbital basis by... [Pg.79]

The fermion creation and destruction operators are defined such that apa +a ap = Spq. In analogy to relativistic theory, and more appropriate to the linear response theory to be considered here, the elementary fermion operators ap can be treated as algebraic objects fixed in time, while the orbital functions are solutions of a time-dependent Schrodinger equation... [Pg.79]

Of the five remaining major waste streams, spent activated carbon is being stored at each facility for later disposal. Munitions bodies and other scrap metal are sent to off-site smelters after being thermally treated to a clean condition in the MPF at the four incineration-based facilities. Because on-site secondary waste processing capacity is limited, demilitarization protective ensemble suits are shipped off-site or stored until they can be treated on-site in the MPF when it has an opening in its schedule or at the end of agent destruction operations. [Pg.20]

Recommendation 3-1. The Chemical Materials Agency should develop improved analytical techniques for heterogeneous, porous, and permeable materials. Better analytical techniques could enable more exact quantification of agent contamination to meet off-site shipping criteria and help reduce waste remaining on-site at the end of munitions destruction operations. [Pg.22]

Disposal Facility (TOCDF) in Tooele, Utah, which began agent destruction operations in 1996. It was followed by incineration facilities at three additional sites the Anniston Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (ANCDF) in Anniston, Alabama the Pine Bluff Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (PBCDF) in Pine Bluff, Arkansas and the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (UMCDF) in Umatilla, Oregon. [Pg.26]

Direct chemical agent destruction operations as well as indirect or peripheral operations all result in secondary waste. Indirect or peripheral operations critical to chemical agent disposal facilities include laboratory operations, operations associated with protection of personnel or the environment, and operations associated with maintenance of the facility. The links between direct and indirect process operations and secondary waste streams are described next. [Pg.30]

An ATB was performed on only one of the two LICs when TOCDF began VX destruction operations. The ATB results from LIC2 were used as data in lieu of performing a VX ATB on LIC1. The VX ATBs for LIC2 were performed under two trial bum conditions, high and low temperature, requiring a total of six test runs (three test runs under each condition). [Pg.46]

Spent activated carbon is generated and is accumulating at each of the five chemical agent disposal facilities. It represents one of the largest secondary waste streams currently projected to remain in storage at the end of munitions destruction operations. [Pg.64]

There are no commercial TSDFs in Indiana to support NECDF s closure activities. To date, NECDF has been permitted to ship limited quantities of its secondary wastes to out-of-state permitted disposal facilities. However, additional quantities need to be shipped while bulk VX disposal operations are still ongoing so that the wastes from agent destruction operations do... [Pg.79]
