Understanding wavefunctional form of lowering operator for a scalar CFT

In his book (String Theory Volume 1, pp. 66-68), Polchinski explains state-operator correspondence and derives the vacuum state through the identity operator: $$Psi_1[X_b] propto exp left( -frac{1}{alpha'} right)...

Relation between dipole moment and polarisation

In the Landau's book "Electrodynamics of Continuous Media" he derives the relation between the polarisation $vec P$ and the dipole moment $vec p$.Starting with the definition of the dipole...

Physical Interpretation of Field Operator in Quantum Field Theory and Mode Expansion

I'm struggling to understand the physical interpretation behind the field operators $ phi(mathbf x)$ and $phi ^dagger (mathbf x)$ in quantum field theory. My understanding is ...

Current and conductance from the Landauer formula

The Landauer formula for a one dimensional quantum system (potential step scattering) can be written as $$I(V)=frac{2e}{h}int_{-infty}^infty dE T(E) (f_S(E) - f_D(E)),$$ where $T(E)$ is the...

How does the partial derivative of a tensor of rank $n$ creates a tensor of rank $n+1$? (cartesian coordinates)

The partial derivative of a tensor of rank $n$, $T_{...i}$, with respect to $x^j$ can be expressed using the transformation rule: begin{equation}frac{partial}{partial x^j}T'_{...i}=frac{partial}{partial x^j}sum_{...k}...frac{partial x^k}{partial...

Adiabatic invariants for rigid bodies

I Landau & Lifshitz I mechanics introduces adiabatic through Hamiltonian that is dependent on some slowly changing parameter $lambda$. After some derivation they got$$I=frac{1}{2pi}oint pdq=const.$$This...

Fraunhofer lines during an eclipse

I know that Fraunhofer lines are certain wavelengths in the Sun's spectrum that are 'missing' because of absorption at the chromosphere. In other words, they are 'dark'.But my...

Confusion about direction of friction

A motor is dragging a log up a slope with a cable. When the cable breaks, what happens to the forces? There is no more tension, but does the direction...

Quantum Ising/Heisenberg model, states representation

I am working with a Hamiltonian which looks like this (Heisenberg model)$$ hat{H} = -frac{1}{2}sum_{j=1}^N left( J_xsigma_j^xsigma_{j+1}^x+J_ysigma_j^ysigma_{j+1}^y+J_zsigma_j^zsigma_{j+1}^z + hsigma_j^zright). $$ I have made a...
