The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom02:45

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

56.1K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Control Systems

Control systems are everywhere in contemporary society, influencing diverse applications from aerospace to automated manufacturing. These systems can be found naturally within biological processes, such as blood sugar regulation and heart rate adjustment in response to stress, as well as in man-made systems like elevators and automated vehicles. A control system is essentially a network of subsystems and processes that collaboratively convert specific inputs into desired outputs.

Conservation of Energy in Control Volume

1.0K
Consider a turbine operating under steady-flow conditions. The control volume is drawn around the turbine, with fluid entering at one point and exiting at another. The turbine extracts energy from the fluid, which performs mechanical work (shaft work).
For steady flow systems, the time derivative of the stored energy becomes zero since there is no energy accumulation within the control volume. This simplifies the energy equation to:

It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

Open and closed-loop control systems01:17

Open and closed-loop control systems

1.4K
Control systems are foundational elements in automation and engineering. They are broadly categorized into open-loop and closed-loop systems. These classifications hinge on the presence or absence of feedback mechanisms, significantly influencing the system's performance, complexity, and application.
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...

Feedback control systems01:26

Feedback control systems

Feedback control systems are categorized in various ways based on their design, analysis, and signal types.
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Measurements on an ancilla system can significantly alter a signal system, even after weak interaction. This quantum effect allows for conditional amplification, attenuation, or phase shifts in the signal.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Quantum optics
  • Quantum information science

Background:

  • Quantum mechanical expectation values for subsets can differ from the whole ensemble.
  • Interactions between systems can be substantially altered by conditioning measurements.
  • Previous work suggests the potential for modifying quantum interactions through measurement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally demonstrate the modification of a signal light field (ψS) by measurements on an ancilla light field (ψA).
  • To show that conditioning measurements on the ancilla can lead to significant amplification, attenuation, or phase shifts of the signal.
  • To explore the generic applicability of this method to various quantum systems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing two weakly interacting light fields, a signal (ψS) and an ancilla (ψA).
  • Performing subsequent measurements on the ancilla system.
  • Analyzing the conditional changes in the signal system based on ancilla measurements.

Main Results:

  • Observed substantial conditional amplification and attenuation of the signal light field.
  • Demonstrated conditional phase shifts of up to π/2 on the signal.
  • Showed significant signal power changes over a range of 30.
  • Confirmed that small changes in ancilla measurement bases induce large conditional effects.

Conclusions:

  • Conditional measurements on an ancilla system provide a powerful method to modify or enhance interactions with a signal system.
  • This technique allows for a trade-off between success probability and interaction strength.
  • The demonstrated method is broadly applicable to diverse quantum systems for manipulating quantum states and interactions.
