The Quantum Mechanics ofNanostructures在二十世纪初期,科学家们开始探索微观世界,发现物质不是像人们过去认为的那样实体的,而是由无数微小的基本粒子组成的。
这一发现彻底颠覆了过去的认知,引发了科学领域的革命。
随着科技的进步,人们发现微观世界的可塑性和变化性越来越重要,特别是在纳米结构研究中。
量子力学是研究微观物质的分支学科。
在纳米结构中,由于尺寸的微小和表面的高度变化,量子力学的效应变得尤为显著。
实际上,纳米尺度下的物理现象是非常不同于宏观世界的,要求我们开展全新的理论和方法。
在纳米材料的研究中,量子力学的应用广泛存在。
举个例子,纳米颗粒中的量子点对光的吸收和发射起着至关重要的作用。
在一个纳米结构中的电子不能回避任一本质上的受限束缚,其运动从单一的粒子系统变成了固体晶体系统中的波函数。
这种类似波动的运动和其他微观量子效应,如局域化和微观隧道效应,导致纳米材料的复杂性和变化性增加。
因此,我们需要量子力学的方法来描述这种动力学过程。
随着纳米科技的进步和发展,人们已经发现,许多量子力学效应对纳米结构和器件的性质和功能具有重要作用。
例如,纳米线和二维材料的表面态密度高,电荷输运现象变得更为复杂,需要借助量子力学来建模和描述。
同时,在加工成像等领域,人们也发现量子力学的应用可以提供更精确的解决方案。
使用电子和其他粒子来探测纳米结构的表面,电子显微镜等技术已经成为普遍地工具,这些技术通常需要使用量子力学的方法。
通过计算纳米电子学的电子输运,设计高效的器件也成为了可行和实现的了。
总之,量子力学已经成为了纳米领域的基础,不断发展和完善的量子力学方法可以帮助我们更好地理解纳米结构的物质行为和复杂性。
这一发现和理论将在我们未来的纳米技术,制造和生物医学领域发挥重要的作用,改变我们生活的方方面面。

八卦一下量子机器学习的历史人工智能和量子信息在讲量子机器学习之前我们先来八卦一下人工智能和量子信息。
1956,达特茅斯,十位大牛聚集于此,麦卡锡(John McCarthy)给这个活动起了个别出心裁的名字:“人工智能夏季研讨会”(Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence),现在被普遍认为是人工智能的起点。
AI的历史是非常曲折的,从符号派到联结派,从逻辑推理到统计学习,从经历70年代和80年代两次大规模的政府经费削减,到90年代开始提出神经网络,默默无闻直到2006年Hinton提出深层神经网络的层级预训练方法,从专注于算法到李飞飞引入ImageNet,大家开始注意到数据的重要性,大数据的土壤加上计算力的摩尔定律迎来了现在深度学习的火热。
量子信息的历史则更为悠久和艰难。
这一切都可以归结到1935年,爱因斯坦,波多尔斯基和罗森在“Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality be Considered Complete?”一文中提出了EPR悖论,从而引出了量子纠缠这个概念。
回溯到更早一点,1927年第五次索尔维会议,世界上最主要的物理学家聚在一起讨论新近表述的量子理论。
会议上爱因斯坦和波尔起了争执,爱因斯坦用“上帝不会掷骰子”的观点来反对海森堡的不确定性原理,而玻尔反驳道,“爱因斯坦,不要告诉上帝怎么做”。
这一论战持续了很多年,伴随着量子力学的发展,直到爱因斯坦在1955年去世。
爱因斯坦直到去世也还一直坚持这个世界没有随机性这种东西,所有的物理规律都是确定性的,给定初态和演化规律,物理学家就能推算出任意时刻系统的状态。
而量子力学生来就伴随了不确定性,一只猫在没测量前可以同时“生”和'死',不具备一个确定的状态,只有测量后这只猫才具备“生”和'死'其中的一种状态,至于具体是哪一种状态量子力学只能告诉我们每一种态的概率,给不出一个确定的结果。

informationPrefaceQuantum computing is a fascinating newfield at the intersection of computer sci-ence,mathematics,and physics,which strives to harness some of the uncanny as-pects of quantum mechanics to broaden our computational horizons.This bookpresents some of the most exciting and interesting topics in quantum computing.Along the way,there will be some amazing facts about the universe in which we liveand about the very notions of information and computation.The text you hold in your hands has a distinctflavor from most of the other cur-rently available books on quantum computing.First and foremost,we do not assumethat our reader has much of a mathematics or physics background.This book shouldbe readable by anyone who is in or beyond their second year in a computer scienceprogram.We have written this book specifically with computer scientists in mind,and tailored it accordingly:we assume a bare minimum of mathematical sophistica-tion,afirst course in discrete structures,and a healthy level of curiosity.Because thistext was written specifically for computer people,in addition to the many exercisesthroughout the text,we added many programming drills.These are a hands-on,funway of learning the material presented and getting a real feel for the subject.The calculus-phobic reader will be happy to learn that derivatives and integrals are virtually absent from our text.Quite simply,we avoid differentiation,integra-tion,and all higher mathematics by carefully selecting only those topics that arecritical to a basic introduction to quantum computing.Because we are focusing onthe fundamentals of quantum computing,we can restrict ourselves to thefinite-dimensional mathematics that is required.This turns out to be not much more thanmanipulating vectors and matrices with complex entries.Surprisingly enough,thelion’s share of quantum computing can be done without the intricacies of advancedmathematics.Nevertheless,we hasten to stress that this is a technical textbook.We are not writing a popular science book,nor do we substitute hand waving for rigor or math-ematical precision.Most other texts in thefield present a primer on quantum mechanics in all its glory.Many assume some knowledge of classical mechanics.We do not make theseassumptions.We only discuss what is needed for a basic understanding of quantumxiMore informationxii Prefacecomputing as afield of research in its own right,although we cite sources for learningmore about advanced topics.There are some who consider quantum computing to be solely within the do-main of physics.Others think of the subject as purely mathematical.We stress thecomputer science aspect of quantum computing.It is not our intention for this book to be the definitive treatment of quantum computing.There are a few topics that we do not even touch,and there are severalothers that we approach briefly,not exhaustively.As of this writing,the bible ofquantum computing is Nielsen and Chuang’s magnificent Quantum Computing andQuantum Information(2000).Their book contains almost everything known aboutquantum computing at the time of its publication.We would like to think of ourbook as a usefulfirst step that can prepare the reader for that text.FEATURESThis book is almost entirely self-contained.We do not demand that the reader comearmed with a large toolbox of skills.Even the subject of complex numbers,which istaught in high school,is given a fairly comprehensive review.The book contains many solved problems and easy-to-understand descriptions.We do not merely present the theory;rather,we explain it and go through severalexamples.The book also contains many exercises,which we strongly recommendthe serious reader should attempt to solve.There is no substitute for rolling up one’ssleeves and doing some work!We have also incorporated plenty of programming drills throughout our text.These are hands-on exercises that can be carried out on your laptop to gain a betterunderstanding of the concepts presented here(they are also a great way of hav-ing fun).We hasten to point out that we are entirely language-agnostic.The stu-dent should write the programs in the language that feels most comfortable.Weare also paradigm-agnostic.If declarative programming is your favorite method,gofor it.If object-oriented programming is your game,use that.The programmingdrills build on one another.Functions created in one programming drill will be usedand modified in later drills.Furthermore,in Appendix C,we show how to makelittle quantum computing emulators with MATLAB or how to use a ready-madeone.(Our choice of MATLAB was dictated by the fact that it makes very easy-to-build,quick-and-dirty prototypes,thanks to its vast amount of built-in mathematicaltools.)This text appears to be thefirst to handle quantum programming languages in a significant way.Until now,there have been only research papers and a few surveyson the topic.Chapter7describes the basics of this expandingfield:perhaps some ofour readers will be inspired to contribute to quantum programming!This book also contains several appendices that are important for further study:Appendix A takes readers on a tour of major papers in quantum computing.This bibliographical essay was written by Jill Cirasella,Computational SciencesSpecialist at the Brooklyn College Library.In addition to having a master’s de-gree in library and information science,Jill has a master’s degree in logic,forwhich she wrote a thesis on classical and quantum graph algorithms.This dualbackground uniquely qualifies her to suggest and describe further readings.More informationPreface xiii Appendix B contains the answers to some of the exercises in the text.Othersolutions will also be found on the book’s Web page.We strongly urge studentsto do the exercises on their own and then check their answers against ours.Appendix C uses MATLAB,the popular mathematical environment and an es-tablished industry standard,to show how to carry out most of the mathematicaloperations described in this book.MATLAB has scores of routines for manip-ulating complex matrices:we briefly review the most useful ones and show howthe reader can quickly perform a few quantum computing experiments with al-most no effort,using the freely available MATLAB quantum emulator Quack.Appendix D,also by Jill Cirasella,describes how to use online resources to keepup with developments in quantum computing.Quantum computing is a fast-movingfield,and this appendix offers guidelines and tips forfinding relevantarticles and announcements.Appendix E is a list of possible topics for student presentations.We give briefdescriptions of different topics that a student might present before a class of hispeers.We also provide some hints about where to start looking for materials topresent.ORGANIZATIONThe book begins with two chapters of mathematical preliminaries.Chapter1con-tains the basics of complex numbers,and Chapter2deals with complex vectorspaces.Although much of Chapter1is currently taught in high school,we feel thata review is in order.Much of Chapter2will be known by students who have had acourse in linear algebra.We deliberately did not relegate these chapters to an ap-pendix at the end of the book because the mathematics is necessary to understandwhat is really going on.A reader who knows the material can safely skip thefirsttwo chapters.She might want to skim over these chapters and then return to themas a reference,using the index and the table of contents tofind specific topics.Chapter3is a gentle introduction to some of the ideas that will be encountered throughout the rest of the ing simple models and simple matrix multipli-cation,we demonstrate some of the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics,which are then formally developed in Chapter4.From there,Chapter5presentssome of the basic architecture of quantum computing.Here one willfind the notionsof a qubit(a quantum generalization of a bit)and the quantum analog of logic gates.Once Chapter5is understood,readers can safely proceed to their choice of Chapters6through11.Each chapter takes its title from a typical course offered in acomputer science department.The chapters look at that subfield of quantum com-puting from the perspective of the given course.These chapters are almost totallyindependent of one another.We urge the readers to study the particular chapterthat corresponds to their favorite course.Learn topics that you likefirst.From thereproceed to other chapters.Figure0.1summarizes the dependencies of the chapters.One of the hardest topics tackled in this text is that of considering two quan-tum systems and combining them,or“entangled”quantum systems.This is donemathematically in Section2.7.It is further motivated in Section3.4and formallypresented in Section4.5.The reader might want to look at these sections together.xivPrefaceFigure 0.1.Chapter dependencies.There are many ways this book can be used as a text for a course.We urge instructors to find their own way.May we humbly suggest the following three plans of action:(1)A class that provides some depth might involve the following:Go through Chapters 1,2,3,4,and 5.Armed with that background,study the entirety of Chapter 6(“Algorithms”)in depth.One can spend at least a third of a semester on that chapter.After wrestling a bit with quantum algorithms,the student will get a good feel for the entire enterprise.(2)If breadth is preferred,pick and choose one or two sections from each of the advanced chapters.Such a course might look like this:(1),2,3,4.1,4.4,5,6.1,7.1,9.1,10.1,10.2,and 11.This will permit the student to see the broad outline of quantum computing and then pursue his or her own path.(3)For a more advanced class (a class in which linear algebra and some mathe-matical sophistication is assumed),we recommend that students be told to read Chapters 1,2,and 3on their own.A nice course can then commence with Chapter 4and plow through most of the remainder of the book.If this is being

Heller.Professor Heller wrote the follow-ing1about his teacher Samuel“Sammy”Eilenberg and Sammy’s mathematics:As I perceived it,then,Sammy considered that the highest value in mathematicswas to be found,not in specious depth nor in the overcoming of overwhelmingdifficulty,but rather in providing the definitive clarity that would illuminate itsunderlying order.This never-ending struggle to bring out the underlying order of mathematical structures was always Professor Heller’s everlasting goal,and he did his best to passit on to his students.We have gained greatly from his clarity of vision and his viewof mathematics,but we also saw,embodied in a man,the classical and sober ideal ofcontemplative life at its very best.We both remain eternally grateful to him.While at the City University of New York,we also had the privilege of inter-acting with one of the world’s foremost logicians,Professor Rohit Parikh,a manwhose seminal contributions to thefield are only matched by his enduring com-mitment to promote younger researchers’work.Besides opening fascinating vis-tas to us,Professor Parikh encouraged us more than once to follow new directionsof thought.His continued professional and personal guidance are greatly appre-ciated.We both received our Ph.D.’s from the Department of Mathematics in The Graduate Center of the City University of New York.We thank them for providingus

Quantum MechanicsQuantum mechanics is a fascinating and complex field of physics that has revolutionized our understanding of the fundamental laws governing the universe. At its core, quantum mechanics deals with the behavior of particles at the smallest scales, where classical physics no longer applies. This branch of physics has given rise to a multitude of mind-bending concepts that challenge ourintuition and push the boundaries of what we thought was possible. One of the most fundamental principles of quantum mechanics is the concept of superposition. This idea states that a particle can exist in multiple states simultaneously until it is measured, at which point it collapses into a single state. This concept is famously illustrated by Schr?dinger's thought experiment involving a cat in a box, which is both alive and dead until the box is opened. The implications of superposition are profound and have led to the development of technologies such as quantum computing, which harnesses the power of superposition to perform calculations at speeds far beyond what classical computers can achieve. Another key concept in quantum mechanics is entanglement, which Einstein famously referred to as "spooky action at a distance." Entanglement occurs when two particles become linked in such a way that the state of one particle is instantaneously correlated with the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon has been experimentally verified and has profound implications for the nature of reality, suggesting that particles can communicate with each otherfaster than the speed of light. The uncertainty principle, formulated by Werner Heisenberg, is another cornerstone of quantum mechanics that states that it is impossible to simultaneously know both the exact position and momentum of a particle. This principle introduces a fundamental indeterminacy into the behavior of particles at the quantum level, challenging our classical notions of determinism and causality. The uncertainty principle has profound implications for our understanding of the nature of reality and has inspired philosophical debates about the nature of free will and the limits of human knowledge. Quantum mechanics also introduces the concept of wave-particle duality, which suggeststhat particles such as electrons and photons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior depending on how they are observed. This duality is exemplified bythe famous double-slit experiment, where particles exhibit interference patterns characteristic of waves when not observed, but behave like particles when observed. This phenomenon challenges our classical intuitions about the nature of particles and has led to the development of quantum field theory, which describes particles as excitations of underlying quantum fields. Despite its incredible success in explaining the behavior of particles at the quantum level, quantum mechanics remains a deeply mysterious and enigmatic theory. The probabilistic nature of quantum phenomena, where the outcome of a measurement is inherently uncertain, has led to debates about the role of consciousness in collapsing the wave function and determining the outcome of experiments. This has sparked discussions about the nature of reality and the limits of human knowledge, with some arguing that quantum mechanics reveals a fundamentally subjective aspect of the universe. In conclusion, quantum mechanics is a rich and multifaceted field that challenges our classical intuitions and pushes the boundaries of what we thought was possible. From the concept of superposition to the phenomenon of entanglement, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of the fundamental laws governing the universe. While the theory remains deeply mysterious and enigmatic, its implications for technology and our understanding of reality are profound. As we continue to explore the implications of quantum mechanics, we are sure to uncover even more mind-bending phenomena that will reshape our understanding of the universe.。
Contemporary MathematicsDudley Ernest LittlewoodAlun O MorrisDudley Ernest(D.E.)Littlewood was born in London on September7th1903, the only son of Harry Bramley Littlewood,a Solicitor’s Clerk,and Ada Piper. He must have shown early promise,for on completion of his school education at Tottenham County School,he obtained a highly coveted place at Trinity College, Cambridge supported by a major open entrance scholarship in addition to a state scholarship.Significantly,due to later developments,fellow students in Cambridge were Philip Hall and W.V.D.Hodge;all three graduated as Wranglers in1925.His Director of Studies in Trinity was J.E.Littlewood(no relation)who in a testimonial perceptively commented that‘his has always been an unusual type of mind’. D.E.Littlewood did commence on research in analysis in the strong research school headed by J.E.Littlewood with S.Pollard as his research supervisor.However,he did not take to the rigour of research in analysis and so,after a year he withdrew -there were alsofinancial reasons.For the following two years he took up a number of temporary positions as a schoolteacher,including a short period at Christ’s Hospital School.Again,this was not really to his taste,he even claimed in the farewell dinner on his retirement that he had been dismissed from one position due to problems with class discipline. However,in1928he had in view of his subsequent career,the great good fortune to be appointed as a temporary part-time Lecturer at University College,Swansea a constituent college of the University of Wales.This was where A.R.Richardson, one of a few algebraists in the U.K.at that time,was Professor of Mathematics and whom Littlewood found was‘bursting with problems’.Thus commenced in the early years a fruitful collaboration and then a long career of highly imaginative innovative research.Littlewood was to stay in Swansea until1947,except for a short period in1930as a full-time assistant in Dundee.Richardson must have immediately appreciated his potential for he ensured his return through his appointment to an Assistant Lectureship in1930and promotion to a Lectureship in1934.In1930,Littlewood had married Muriel Dyson and in1935their only child Malcolm was born.Although the family were very happy in Swansea,Littlewood was keen to return to Cambridge.In1947his wish was fulfilled through his ap-pointment as a University Lecturer,but he had no college attachment.This meant that he had no tutoring duties,but also that he had no office.However,his ear-lier student colleague,Hodge,came to the rescue and allowed Littlewood to use a second room he had in the Arts School where,for example,Littlewood met upc 0000(copyright holder)12ALUN O MORRISwith his postgraduate students J.A.(Sandy)Green and G.E.(Tim)Wall.But he and his family were not happy in Cambridge and so he was extremely pleased to return to Wales in1948tofill the vacant Chair of Mathematics at the University College of North Wales,Bangor-another constituent college of the University of Wales.This is where he spent the following22years up to his retirement in1970. He lived with his family in a neighbouring coastal resort Llandudno some twenty miles away from where he travelled by train to work on three days every week.He died at home on6th October1979a few weeks after breaking a leg.Although Littlewood claimed that some of the early problems which Richardson presented to him did notfire his imagination,a recent historical note[2]suggests that his paper[6]was equally significant with those of O.Ore and J.H.M.Wed-derburn in extending the concept of quotient rings to noncommutative rings-he considered amongst other things what is now called thefirst Weyl algebra.Sig-nificantly the motivation came from the direction of mathematical physics and in particular Dirac’s classic book on quantum mechanics,an interest that persisted throughout his life.Also,Patrick du Val credited Littlewood[5]as being thefirst to identify the quaternion groups T and I with the vertices of the regular polytopes {3,4,3}and{3,3,5}.But Richardson’s greatest favour to Littlewood was to point him in the direction of the work of the German mathematicians F.G.Frobenius and I.Schur and also Alfred Young who curiously Littlewood never met.It was this which lead to his most significant contributions.Thefirst of these appeared in what is now regarded as a classic paper,the joint paper with A.R. Richardson,[9].This is where they re-discovered Schur functions,or as they named them,S-functions-they were disappointed that these already appeared in the work of I.Schur and indeed even prior to him in C.G.Jacobi work almost a century earlier.Also,this is where immanants appeared for thefirst time and where the connection of Schur functions with invariant matrices was noticed.But as H.W. Turnbull[14]indicated in his Obituary to A.R.Richardson,There was atfirst perhaps a feeling of disappointment for thecollaborators that Schur had anticipated them to some extent,but the new insight,that these immanants and S-functions(asthey came to be called in honour of Schur)were related to in-variant matrices was indeed worth the loss of precedence;and asLittlewood has said,‘It was quite marvellous to see the intricatetheory taking shape under our hands’.But the most celebrated of all the results in this paper is their so-called Littlewood-Richardson Rule for multiplying Schur functions whose significance seem to grow with the years.(A recent Google search showed up2080hits).In fact,at that stage this was basically a conjecture,although a‘proof’appeared in Littlewood’s classic book[7]attributed to G.de B.Robinson.Rigorous proofs did not appear until the late1970’s,by now there are numerous proofs from various directions but the most satisfying in many respects is the one given by I.G.Macdonald in his book[10]in that it‘rescued’the one presented by Littlewood and kept theflavour.This is not the place to give a full account of Littlewood’s subsequent work. More details about his research and other contributions may be found in the Obit-uary[1].This will relate his massive contribution to the use of Schur functions in invariant theory which has not been properly acknowledged,his many strikingD E LITTLEWOOD3 Schur function identities,the introduction to plethysms of Schur functions,his pa-per on modular representations of the symmetric groups and even his contributions to theoretical physics,especially those in his latter years.What will,however,be attempted will be to give the background to his dis-covery of the Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions or polynomials as these were his last contribution in this area and were the subject of this conference.It was in late1956that he presented me with my Ph D problem of determining what he called the spin representations of the symmetric groups suggesting that I should approach this by restricting the spin representation of the orthogonal groups to the symmetric groups.Some progress was made;but sometime in the summer of1958Littlewood met up with Sandy Green who was then a lecturer at the University of Manchester.Green asked Littlewood what he was working on and Littlewood presumably answered(for that was his attitude by that time)that by then that he did little himself and worked mainly through his research students. So Littlewood told him about my work-Green immediately responded by asking him whether he knew about I.Schur’s monumental tour-de-force where he already had determined the irreducible projective representations of the symmetric groups in his1911paper[13].Green was rather pleased with himself in that he had been able to catch Littlewood out in this way for Littlewood thought that he was quite expert on the works of Frobenius and Schur.It was in this paper,of course,that Schur had introduced what are now referred to as Schur Q-functions which play the same role for projective representations as the usual Schur functions play for the ordinary representations of the symmetric groups.Littlewood was already aware of Green’s own remarkable tour-de-force in1955where he had solved the problem of determining the irreducible characters of the general linear groups[3].(Indeed, Littlewood had given another research student,Ivor Morris,the impossible problem of simplifying Green’s work!).In that paper,Green made crucial use of the so-called Hall polynomials introduced by Phillip Hall in some unpublished work.There,a family of symmetric functions Pλ(x,t)had been defined in an indirect way.(See the account on Philip Hall’s work for more details).However,Littlewood in typical fashion very quickly responded by defining a new class of symmetric functions which he claimed are the same as those due to Hall of which Schur and Schur Q-functions are special cases.In October1958he presented his new results to his research students in three lectures.It even meant a totally new and uniform way of getting to Schur and Schur Q-functions.He immediately wrote the work up for publication and submitted it on10th December 1958to the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society.Although he did not share this information with his research students,he must have been more than disappointed in early1959when his paper was summarily rejected.This must have confirmed his feeling by then that his work was not properly appreciated or understood.The referee was clearly ignorant on the background and certainly had no inkling of what had truly been achieved.The paper was,of course,hard to follow and may have lacked rigour,especially in its original form.But Littlewood had sent Green a copy and Green immediately realised what had been achieved -indeed Littlewood had solved a conjecture made by Ian Macdonald who was a colleague of Green at Manchester at that time and who had been introduced to Hall’s work.In due course,Green was astonished to hear about the rejection and remarkably he was somehow able to persuade the Society to recall the paper.The4ALUN O MORRISrevised version,with a few minor changes,was submitted on20th May1960and was immediately accepted[8]-this is reprinted below.In fact,as mentioned above,Littlewood claimed that his symmetric functions Qλ(x,t)‘are the same as those defined by Hall in some unpublished...’,in fact they are different but are related by the relation Qλ(x,t)=bλ(t)Pλ(x,t).The initial proof of this was complicated and depended on some heavy calculations involving the characters of the general linear groups and their orthogonality relations obtained by Green[4].A more direct proof was given by the author[11]in1963.In fact, Littlewood got his due recognition when Ian Macdonald re-christened them Hall-Littlewood functions in his book[10]in1979.Indeed,it was through this book that not only did these functions get their due recognition,but indeed a great deal of Littlewood’s earlier work was expounded in a more rigorous and understandable way.As mentioned earlier,Littlewood did not publish further in this area.As quoted in his Obituary,in a letter to W.Ledermann he said‘I was writing(in the1950’s) lots of mathematical papers of which nobody took any notice and I wondered what was the point of it all.So I stopped writing them except in connection with work for research students’.Not only am I grateful that he wrote this one,but the numerous references in the last quarter century makes it clear that others would feel in the same way.It is sad that he did not live to see the world-wide recognition of his work by now.In fact,he will be one of the few recognised by his inclusion in the New Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.Again,for a more detailed appraisal of Littlewood,both of his work and of him as a person,I refer to the Obituary[1].As mentioned there,he was a very shy per-son who mixed very little with others.There is no record of how he interacted with his fellow students as an undergraduate.Although,their work eventually coincided through the Hall-Littlewood polynomials named after them,it seems that Little-wood never subsequently interacted with Philip Hall.Both of them were lonely figures in algebra in the U.K.in the1930’s,in Hall’s Obituary[12]it is claimed that‘For many years he was the only algebraist working in England’.There were others in the U.K.of course,but they,like Littlewood were in Wales or in Scotland where H.W.Turnbull and A.C.Aitken were pre-eminent.Philip Hall however was also‘not gregarious,and cared little for large gatherings or formal occasions; he was reticent rather than shy’.With both of them sharing these qualities,it is perhaps not unsurprising that they never met.But the main reason for this was their totally different approach or attitude to mathematics,and Littlewood possibly fell into the category‘He was not always so helpful to others with whom he was in serious disagreement’.Littlewood was also totally isolated from other contemporaries.He did corre-spond with others such as van der Waerden,A.Young and A.C.Aitken.He never met G.de B.Robinson but had met H.W.Turnbull,but only because he was an External Examiner in the University of Wales.Littlewood never attended math-ematical meetings or conferences.However in the summer of1958,he was asked by the Senate of his University to officially represent them at the meeting of the International Congress of Mathematics in Edinburgh.It is claimed that he spent his whole time there asking‘Have you seen Aitken?’-it is not known whether they actually did meet.D E LITTLEWOOD5After my appointment to a lectureship at Aberystwyth,I invited Littlewood on three occasions to visit and to give seminars,but he refused on each occasion. Thefirst time,his reason for not coming was that his dog was ill;the second time that his mother-in-law was ill;the third time that his wife was unwell.My belief is that his wife was not too keen to see him travel.There is no evidence to confirm that she was a real invalid-she did outlive him by a number of years.While at Bangor,he claimed that the only time that he found for research was on his train journeys on three days per week between Llandudno and Bangor for at home he had too many household chores to deal with.Littlewood may have complained about the lack of interest in his work,but possibly he was largely responsible for this in that he did not realise that publication alone is not sufficient and other avenues must also be taken to‘sell’one’s work.References[1] C.C.H.Barker and A.O.Morris,Obituary-Dudley Ernest Littlewood,Bull.London Math.Soc.,15(1983),56-69.[2]S.C.Coutinho,Quotient rings of noncommutative rings in thefirst half of the20th century,Arch.Hist.Exact Sci.,58(2004),255-281.[3]J.A.Green,The characters of thefinite general linear groups,Trans.Amer.Math.Soc.80,(1955),402-447.[4]J.A.Green,Les polynomes de Hall et les caract`e res des groupes GL(n,q),Colloque d’alg`e bresup´e rieure,(Brussels,1956),206-217.[5] D.E.Littlewood,The groups of the regular solids in n-dimensions,Proc.London Math.Soc.(2)32,(1931),10-20.[6] D.E.Littlewood,On the classification of algebras,Proc.London Math.Soc.(2)35,(1933),200-240.[7] D.

塔诺基量子力学第三卷英文回答:Quantum mechanics, as described in the third volume of the Tannocky series, is a fascinating and complex field of study. It deals with the behavior of particles at the quantum level, where classical physics no longer applies.In this realm, particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously and can exhibit wave-particle duality.One of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanicsis superposition. This concept states that a particle can exist in multiple states or positions at the same time. For example, imagine a particle that can be in either the "up"or "down" state. In classical physics, the particle wouldbe in one state or the other. However, in quantum mechanics, the particle can exist in a superposition of both states simultaneously. It is only when a measurement is made that the particle "chooses" one of the states.Another important principle in quantum mechanics is entanglement. This phenomenon occurs when two particles become linked in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them. This concept is often described using the famous thought experiment of two entangled particles, known as "spooky action at a distance." For example, if two entangled particles are in a superposition of "up" and "down" states, measuring one particle will instantaneously determine the state of the other particle, even if they are light-years apart.Quantum mechanics also introduces the concept of uncertainty, as described by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. This principle states that certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, cannot both be precisely known at the same time. The more precisely one property is known, the less precisely the other can be known. This inherent uncertainty at the quantum level is a fundamental aspect of the nature of reality.Overall, quantum mechanics is a highly mathematical and abstract field, but its principles have been successfully applied in various technological advancements. For example, quantum computers utilize the principles of superposition and entanglement to perform calculations at a much faster rate than classical computers. Quantum cryptography also relies on the principles of quantum mechanics to ensure secure communication.中文回答:量子力学是塔诺基系列第三卷中描述的一个引人入胜且复杂的研究领域。

The principles of quantum mechanics量子力学的原理量子力学是一种研究微观粒子运动的物理学理论,由于其所涉及的尺度非常小,因此与我们日常生活中接触的物理学有着很大的不同。
量子力学早在20世纪初就开始引起了科学界的关注,随着时间的推移,人们对于量子力学的认识也愈发深刻。
本文将介绍量子力学的一些原理。
波粒二象性理论波粒二象性理论是指,物质既可以表现为粒子,也可以表现为波动。
一个量子粒子不仅具有质量和能量,同时也会表现出波动性。
例如,电子具有波的性质,具体表现在它的运动方式上。
当一个电子被观察时,它的位置被确定,电子就表现为一个点粒子;而当电子不被观察时,它呈现出波动性质。
不确定性原理不确定性原理是量子力学中最基本的原理之一。
它指出了在量子世界之中存在一种不确定性。
当我们试图观测一个量子粒子的位置和动量时,我们能够获得的信息是有限的。
这是因为观察者与粒子的相互作用会改变粒子的状态,而这种改变并不是可以被预测的。
因此,我们对于粒子位置和动量的观测结果永远是不完整的。
量子纠缠量子纠缠是指,在某些特殊的情况下,两个或更多的量子粒子之间会相互纠缠。
这种纠缠是一种独特的量子力学现象。
“纠缠”意味着这些量子粒子之间会以一种非常奇特的方式联系在一起,即使它们之间的距离非常远。
当一个粒子发生改变时,它的纠缠伙伴粒子也会立即相应地改变。
量子隧穿效应量子隧穿效应是一种量子力学现象,它表明了粒子能够穿越它在经典力学中是不可能的势垒。
在经典的物理学里,当一个粒子碰到了一个由电子或原子构成的势垒时,它就会被反弹回去。
但在量子力学的框架下,粒子有可能穿越势垒,同时保持着它的波动性。
量子态和量子算符在量子力学中,粒子的状态用量子态来描述。
它也可以用一个数学对象,量子算符,来表示。
通过计算,我们可以得到粒子处于某种状态的概率。
量子态和量子算符也可以被用来表示初态与末态之间的相互作用。
结语在量子力学的世界,经典物理学的规律已经不再适用。

Margemni指出只应当限于在多次测量的统计意义上理解测不准关系M l.对于时间-能量的测不准关系,争论更大.1933年 Pauli就指出,不可能引进一个时间算符,因此根本不存在能量和时间的对易关系[36].粒子在运动,有速度^和动量p,其位置就不确定;反之j确定,则不运动.特别对于波.这似乎可以联系于布朗运动.测 不准应该基于无相互作用或某种特殊的波,如线性波等.前提改变,如是非线性波、孤波等时,测不准应该有所不同.基于此可 以具体推导.第3期张一方:量子力学中测不准关系、方程和时空等基本问题的新探索25H.Dehmelt开创了俘获单个电子和原子的研究,由此获得1989年诺贝尔物理奖.20世纪80年代中期Maryland大学和 Munich大学的实验发现,打开探测器时光表现为粒子,关闭探测器时单个光子也表现出波动.1990年艾戈勒用扫描隧道显微 镜(S T M)移动氙原子排列成IBM.氙原子固定,则土 = 10_s c m,Ap = mAv —h/A x.(2)氙质量^ = 131^^.=丨.229父1051\^¥/<:2,所以加=/1/^4*=48丨.33(;111/8.氙原子每秒运动4.81[11,此时测不准关系是 否成立?1993年I B M研究可以直接看到单个电子的波动性(波函数).这些结果与测不准的关系值得研究.量子纠缠态和远距离移物已经被实验证实.其难点在于测不准原理.但该原理在一定条件下也可能被突破.波的测不准关系= 1表示波包长度和波长之间的测不准.这是波的性质,与量子理论无关.同时,粒子波动性及其方 程导致能量的分立态(即量子化).B o h m指出测不准原理是由三个基本假定:波粒二象性,几率,能量-动量的不可分性,互相 结合导出的[371.三者的统一体是整个量子论的基础.原子中的测不准关系4£…山=7J ,BPA{- ^j)A t = h ,(3)n所以<)=忐,(4)通常是K测不准,更一般是A(R^j)A t = 1 .(5)其中是Rydberg常数.对Z、n—定的原子,如Z= 1,n= 1的氢原子只能是山—》,或者厶K不等于0,其测不准.或者 测不准,公式不成立.这就是李兹组合原理与A t的关系,B PAvAt = 1.
