Benioff introduced a series of Hamiltonians describing the evolution of a system consisting of spin-1/2 particles (spins up/down corresponding to binary logical states 0/1) occupying the sites of a lattice. The initial. state of the system I (t = 0) corresponds to the input state of a computation. Benioff s systems evolve, under the action of a Hamiltonian, in such a way that the quantum states (0),... 

In a famous paper, Bell [bell64] showed that locality and the notion that the components of the particles spins are determinate are fundamentally incompatible with the spin correlations as predicted by quantum mechanics. Bell s result, in effect, rules out the possibility of having a local, deterministic theory. 

The fourth quantum number, ms> is associated with electron spin. An electron has magnetic properties that correspond to those of a charged particle spinning on its axis. Either of two spins is possible, clockwise or counterclockwise (Figure 6.5).

The spin-orbit interaction is also called spin-orbit effect or spin-orbit coupling, which is one cause of magnetocrystalline anisotropy. SOC, the intrinsic interaction between a particle spin and its motion, is responsible for various important phenomena, ranging from atomic fine structure to topological condensed matter physics. SOC plays a major role in many important condensed matter phenomena and applications, including spin and anomalous Hall effects, topological insulators, spintronics, spin quantum computation, and so on.

The unit 12-vector acts essentially as a normalized spacetime translation on the classical level. The concept of spacetime translation operator was introduced by Wigner, thus extending [100] the Lorentz group to the Poincare group. The PL vector is essential for a self-consistent description of particle spin. 

The only method found so far which is flexible enough to yield ground and excited state wavefunctions, transition rates and other properties is based on expanding all wavefunctions and operators in a finite discrete set of basis functions. That is, a set of one-particle spin-orbitals < >. s-x are selected and the wavefunction is expanded in Slater determinants based on these orbitals. A direct expansion would require writing F as... 

We derive from the earlier relations the results of Table 3 for Hermitian conjugation of the operators (in the ordinary sense this Hermitian conjugation action does not conjugate elements of the quasispin matrices), time reversal and their combination. It is necessary where time reversal is involved to assume one-particle spin-orbital states with yl = — 1, so as to use anticommutation relations to reorder the operators this case is taken for the whole table. This shows that for a one-particle state Q(X)a is Hermitian, while time reversal performs a nt rotation about the y-axis of quasispin space. 

Therefore, the lift force due to the particle spin is negligibly small compared to the drag force when the particle size is small or the spin velocity is low. 

Symmetric group methods. When using these we, in effect, first construct n-particle (spin only) eigenfunctions of the spin. From these we determine the functions of spatial orbitals that must be multiplied by the spin eigenfunctions in order for the overall function to be antisymmetric. It may be noted that this is precisely what is done in almost all treatments of two electron problems. Generating spatial functions... 

The difference with respect to the standard approach lies in the nature of the quantum state. Spin is not taken as a property of a particle. Spin quantum state is sustained by material systems but otherwise a Hilbert space element. A quantum state can be probed with devices located in laboratory (real) space thereby selecting one outcome from among all possible events embodied in the quantum state. The presence of the material system is transformed into the localization of the two elements incorporated in the EPR experiment. If you focus on the localization aspect from the beginning, one is bound to miss the quantum-physical edge. 

All nuclei are composed of particles, protons and neutrons, which possess a property called spin that mathematically resembles angular momentum. The sum of the individual particles spins is characterized by the nuclear spin quantum number /. If I is nonzero, the nucleus will behave like a weak magnet... 

Early in this chapter it was stated that molecules or particles spinning around an axis are subjected to a centrifugal force, F. Under the influence of this force they sediment toward the bottom of the centrifuge tube at a velocity, v, described by the equation... 

The irreducible tensor product between two (spherical) vectors is defined in Eq. (37). An important feature of this Hamiltonian is that it explicitly describes the dependence of the coupling constants J, Am, and T, on the distance vectors rPP between the molecules and on the orientations phenomenological Hamiltonian (139). Another important difference with the latter is that the ad hoc single-particle spin anisotropy term BS2y, which probably stands implicitly for the magnetic dipole-dipole interactions, has been replaced by a two-body operator that correctly represents these interactions. The distance and orientational dependence of the coupling parameters J, A, , and Tm has been obtained as follows. 

Pauli exclusion principle follows mathematically from definition of wave function for a system of identical particles - it can be either symmetric or antisymmetric (depending on particles spin). 

Note that (2.19) is a manifestly hermitian form of the orbit-orbit interaction familiar from atomic physics, usually described in texts as resulting from the reduction of the Breit operator (2.8) to n.r. form. This is unfortunate from a pedagogical point of view, since the Breit operator refers only to spin-1/2 particles. Spin has nothing to do with it I will return to the difference between (2.18) and (2.19) shortly. 

The fine structure was calculated by Pirenne [110] and independently by Berestetski [4J. Minor errors are corrected, and numerical results are given by Ferrell [45]. The approach used by these authors is to write down the Dirac equations for the two particles, and the interaction terms as they are expressed in quantum field theory. The equations can be transformed so that the particle spins appear explicitly. The interaction terms are found to comprise the Coulomb energy, the Breit interaction, and a term analogous to the Fermi expression for... 

The angular velocity of the particle is not an independent parameter. In fact, to the order of the approximation, the particle spins with the local angular velocity of the undisturbed fluid. The analysis assumes that...
