The non-relativistic Hamiltonian and conservation laws

From classical mechanics it follows that for an isolated system (and assum ing the forces to be central and obeying the action-reaction principle), its energy, momentum and angular momentum are conserved. [Pg.57]

Imagine a well isolated space ship observed in an inertial coordinate system. Its energy is preserved, its centre of mass moves along a straight line with constant velocity the total, or centre-of-mass, momentum vector is preserved), it rotates about an axis with an angular velocity total angular momentum preserved ). The same is true for a molecule or atom, but the conservation laws have to be formulated in the language of quantum mechanics. [Pg.57]

Where did the conservation laws come from Emmy Noether proved that they are related to the q mmetry operations, with respect to which the equation [Pg.57]

Emmy Noether (1882-1935), German mathematician, informally professor, formally only the assistant of David Hilbert at the University of Gottingen (in the first quarter of the twentieth century women were not allowed to be professors in Germany). Her outstanding achievements in mathematics meant nothing to the Nazis, because Noether was Jewish (people should reminded of such problems) and in 1933 Noether [Pg.57]
