71Magnetic monopole — It is impossible to make magnetic monopoles from a bar magnet. If a bar magnet is cut in half, it is not the case that one half has the north pole and the other half has the south pole. Inst …
72Slater determinant — In quantum mechanics, a Slater determinant is an expression that describes the wavefunction of a multi fermionic system that satisfies anti symmetry requirements and consequently the Pauli exclusion principle by changing sign upon exchange of… …
73Ab initio quantum chemistry methods — are computational chemistry methods based on quantum chemistry.[1] The term ab initio was first used in quantum chemistry by Robert Parr and coworkers, including David Craig in a semiempirical study on the excited states of benzene.[2][3] The… …
74physics — /fiz iks/, n. (used with a sing. v.) the science that deals with matter, energy, motion, and force. [1580 90; see PHYSIC, ICS] * * * I Science that deals with the structure of matter and the interactions between the fundamental constituents of… …
75Composite fermion — For other uses, see Fermions#Composite fermions. A composite fermion is the bound state of an electron and an even number of quantized vortices, sometimes visually pictured as the bound state of an electron and, attached, an even number of… …
76Matrix mechanics — Quantum mechanics Uncertainty principle …
77Crystal momentum — In solid state physics crystal momentum or quasimomentum[1] is a momentum like vector associated with electrons in a crystal lattice. It is defined by the associated wave vectors k of this lattice, according to (where is the reduced Planck s… …
78Quantum field theory — In quantum field theory (QFT) the forces between particles are mediated by other particles. For instance, the electromagnetic force between two electrons is caused by an exchange of photons. But quantum field theory applies to all fundamental… …
79Born-Oppenheimer approximation — In quantum chemistry, the computation of the energy and wavefunction of an average size molecule is a formidable task that is alleviated by the Born Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. For instance the benzene molecule consists of 12 nuclei and 42… …
80Spin contamination — In computational chemistry, spin contamination is the artificial mixing of different electronic spin states. This can occur when an approximate orbital based wave function is represented in an unrestricted form – that is, when the spatial parts… …
