Basic Quantum Mechanics 3

The document discusses key concepts in quantum mechanics including measurements, observables, the uncertainty relation, and probability postulates. It explains that measuring an observable causes the system to jump to an eigenstate of that observable. The probability of the system jumping to a particular state is given by the probability postulate, and measurements of compatible observables can be performed simultaneously while incompatible observables cannot due to the uncertainty relation.

In term of Modern Quantum Mechanics

Presented by Hossien Hossieni
Measurments, Oservables, And The uncertainty Relation
• “A measurement always causes the system to Jump into
an eigenstae of the dynamical variable that is being
measured” P. A. Dirac
• This means , before a measurement of observable A is
made, the system is assumed to be represented by
some linear combination
•
Probability postulate

• Probability of jumping to a certain state is given by


Expectation Value
Selective measurement

•
Spin ½ again

•
•
•
Compatible and incompatible

•
Degeneracy

•
•
•
Incompatible observable
•
Uncertainty relation
