Quantum Contradictions 16: An Inconvenient Truth (about Schrödinger's Equation) 27 Aug 2013 | 12:34 am
Roothaan and Weiss states in Correlated Orbitals for the Ground State of Heliumlike Systems (Rev. Mod. Phys. 32, 194–205 (1960)): For the ground, state of atoms, molecules, and solids, the explicit....
Quantum Contradictions 15: Electron Orbitals Cannot be Observed 22 Aug 2013 | 04:19 pm
Fiction or reality? Quantum mechanics is supposed to explain the electronic shell structure of the periodic table based on solutions of...
Rapport från Kammarrätten i Stockholm 22 Aug 2013 | 01:23 pm
För att få direkt information om Kammarrättens resonemang till grund för sitt avslag av min överklagan av KTHs vägran att låta mig få tillgång till epost inom KTH rubricerad Gomorron Sverige och MST/B...
Ännu Lägre Antagningspoäng till SimuleringsTeknik KTH HT2013 22 Aug 2013 | 11:41 am
Kandidatutbildningen i Simuleringsteknik vid KTH inrättades 2010 för att möta behovet av beräkningsmatematisk utbildning i dagens svenska IT-samhälle, i den nya form som reformprogrammet BodyandSoul e...
Quantum Contradictions 14: Stability of Electron Configurations vs Spin? 22 Aug 2013 | 11:12 am
The stability of electron configurations is rarely studied in quantum mechanics, since the focus is put on eigenvalues and energy levels and not on often multiple eigenfunctions. In particular, the d...
Quantum Contradictions 13: Why Must the Electron Spin? 21 Aug 2013 | 03:14 pm
Wikipedia informs us: Spin was first discovered in the context of the emission spectrum of alkali metals. In 1924 Wolfgang Pauli introduced what he called a "two-valued quantum degree of freedom" ass...
Quantum Contradictions 12: Electron Pair of Helium 20 Aug 2013 | 12:17 am
Let us return with an elaboration of post 6 in this series about the electron configuration of the ground state of Helium. Let us make an Ansatz with the distribution of the two electrons of Helium gi...
Quantum Contradictions 11: Theory vs Computation vs Observation 19 Aug 2013 | 10:15 pm
Quantum mechanics is based on an unhapppy marriage between theory and observation/measurement, with the observer necessarily affecting the observed. The wave function describing e.g. (the statistics o...
Quantum Contradictions 10: Symmetric and Antisymmetric Wave Functions 19 Aug 2013 | 12:27 am
The wave function as solution of the Schrödinger equation as the basis of quantum mechanics, has 3N spatial dimensions for an N-particle system. As such it is a computational impossibility as noted by...
Quantum Contradictions 9: Shell Structure from Helium Scaling 16 Aug 2013 | 05:46 pm
To explain the observed sequence 2, 8, 18, 32,..., of the number of electrons in filled atomic shells of the periodic table, one may argue as follows (which is not the text book explanation) starting ...
