U2 6

Quantum Mirror

On Planck’s constant as a quantum of nodal lines

In this station, we discuss the transition from observable standing waves to quantum states.

Station topics

1
Candle & Mirror

For the first time on line U2 we enter the quantum dimension – candles and mirror images are lighting the dark.
2
Rotation Operator

States and operators are decisive concepts on our way to the quantum dimension. To understand an important class of operators, we start by looking at a banana.
3
Spectrum of the Rotation Operator

We discuss the spectrum of eigenstates of the rotation operator.
4
Quantum Mirror

We discuss the transition from classical rotation operators to quantum operators and understand the importance of Planck’s constant in quantum physics.
