Frage 1

Frage
Given the Schrödinger equation, \( i\partial_t |\psi\rangle = H|\psi\rangle,\) which of the following is true?
Antworten
  • The Schrödinger equation is a purely nonrelativistic equation, as it is not possible to find a relativistic Hamiltonian
  • The Schrödinger equation can be made relativistic by chosing a relativistic Hamiltonian
  • The Schrödinger equation cannot be Lorentz covariant because of its special role of time
  • The Schrödinger equation requires that the time development of \(\psi\) follows a hermitian operation

Frage 2

Frage
What is the problem with the Klein-Gordon equation? Why can't we interpret it as a relativistic single particle equation?
Antworten
  • The probability density is not positive definite
  • It is a linear equation, we wan't a nonlinear one
  • The Klein-Gordon equation is not relativistic
  • The Klein-Gordon equation has no real solutions

Which relation do the Dirac \(\gamma\)-matrices satisfy?
Antworten
  • \([\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu]=2g^{\mu\nu}\)
  • \([\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu]=g^{\mu\nu}\)
  • \(\{\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu\}=2g^{\mu\nu}\)
  • \(\{\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu\}=g^{\mu\nu}\)
  • \(\{\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu\}=\delta^{\mu\nu}\)
  • \([\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu]=\delta^{\mu\nu}\)

Frage 4

  • \(a(k)|0\rangle\)

Frage 6

Frage
The quantization of the free electromagnetic field poses a problem which can be solved by adding a gauge breaking term to the Lagrangian. Which one? \(\mathcal L\to\mathcal L + G\)
Antworten
  • \(G=(\lambda-1)(\partial\cdot A)^2\)
  • \(G=-\frac{\lambda}{2}(\partial\cdot A)^2\)
  • \(G=-\lambda g^{\mu0}(\partial\cdot A)\)
  • \(G=-(1-\lambda)\partial_\mu(\partial\cdot A)\)
