The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom02:45

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

42.1K
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.

Electronic Structure of Atoms

21.1K

An atom comprises protons and neutrons, which are contained inside the dense, central core called the nucleus, with electrons present around the nucleus. Taking into account the wave–particle duality of electrons and the uncertainty in position around the nucleus, quantum mechanics provides a more accurate model for the atomic structure. It describes atomic orbitals as the regions around the nucleus where electrons of discrete energy exist, characterized by four quantum...

The Bohr Model

Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as...

First Law: Particles in One-dimensional Equilibrium

6.8K
Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at constant velocity, unless acted on by a net external force. It also states that there must be a cause for any change in velocity (a change in either magnitude or direction) to occur. This cause is a net external force. For example, consider what happens to an object sliding along a rough horizontal surface. The object quickly grinds to a halt, due to the net force of friction. If...

Atomic Orbitals

33.4K
An atomic orbital represents the three-dimensional regions in an atom where an electron has the highest probability to reside. The radial distribution function indicates the total probability of finding an electron within the thin shell at a distance r from the nucleus. The atomic orbitals have distinct shapes which are determined by l, the angular momentum quantum number. The orbitals are often drawn with a boundary surface, enclosing densest regions of the cloud.

The de Broglie Wavelength

25.4K
In the macroscopic world, objects that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye follow the rules of classical physics. A billiard ball moving on a table will behave like a particle; it will continue traveling in a straight line unless it collides with another ball, or it is acted on by some other force, such as friction. The ball has a well-defined position and velocity or well-defined momentum, p = mv, which is defined by mass m and velocity v at any given moment. This is the typical...

Area of Science:

  • Quantum optics
  • Solid-state physics
  • Quantum information science

Background:

  • A one-dimensional atom, formed by a quantum emitter coupled to a single optical mode, is crucial for nonlinear optics and photonic quantum gates.
  • High coupling efficiency (β factor) and low dephasing are critical challenges in realizing effective one-dimensional atoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement a semiconductor quantum dot in an open microcavity as a one-dimensional atom.
  • To demonstrate efficient light control and tunable photon statistics for quantum information processing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a semiconductor quantum dot embedded within a tunable open microcavity.
  • Applied weak laser input to probe the system's transmission and photon statistics.
  • Compared experimental results with theoretical models beyond the single-mode Jaynes-Cummings model.

Main Results:

  • Achieved 99.2% extinction in light transmission, indicating strong light-matter interaction.
  • Observed significant photon bunching (g^(2)(0)=587), demonstrating selective transmission of multi-photon components.
  • Tuned the microcavity to control the coupling efficiency (β factor) and photon statistics (bunching to antibunching).

Conclusions:

  • The quantum dot-microcavity system effectively functions as a one-dimensional atom.
  • Demonstrated precise control over photon statistics and phase, essential for quantum photonic devices.
  • Results provide a pathway for creating novel photonic states and implementing two-photon phase gates.
