Origin of the Ket The origin of the ket in quantum mechanics arises from the need to describe the concept of superposition as well as a system that 1) changes with respect to…
Read moreIntroduction In this post, I find an expression for the gradient of a function, in terms of spherical coordinates. This is a continuation of previous posts, such as this one. This post has a…
Read moreIn this post, I relate coefficients of unit vectors to derivatives and to a Jacobian matrix that was used in a previous post. Unit Vectors Three unit vectors for a right-handed spherical coordinate…
Read moreIn this post, I find an expression for the radial unit vector, $\vec{e}_r$. The three unit vectors in the following digram form a right-handed spherical coordinate system. This unit vector is easier to…
