22.6 (XPS and Auger)


Second Postulate

• For every physical observable there is a corresponding Hermitian operator


Hermitian Operators1. The eigenvalues of a Hermitian operator are real

2. Two eigenfunctions corresponding to different eigenvaluesare orthogonal

3. The set of eigenfunctions of a Hermitian operator is complete

4. Commuting Hermitian operators have a set of common eigenfunctions


The set of eigenfunctions of a Hermitianoperator is complete

Third Postulate

• In any single measurement of a physical quantity that corresponds to the operator A, the only values that will be measured are the eigenvalues of that operator.

Fourth Postulate

• If a series of measurements is made of the dynamical variable A on an ensemble described by Ψ, the average (“expectation”) value is

ΨΨΨΨ

=A

Aˆ


Deterministic vs. stochastic

• Classical, macroscopic objects: we have well-defined values for all dynamical variables at every instant (position, momentum, kinetic energy…)

• Quantum objects: we have well-defined probabilities of measuring a certain value for a dynamical variable, when a large number of identical, independent, identically prepared physical systems are subject to a measurement.
