Prof. Schuller is an excellent teacher. Not only is his approach engaging, his dry sense of humor is like little sparkles topping his explanations. This man seems to care deeply that the students understand the topics on which he lectures.

"Arnold: Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics" is option which gives this presentation of classical mechanics with cotangent bundles. I do disagree with Schuller on his reasoning as to why F(phase space)=I is in interval. Continuity is only one part of it. The other part is is connectedness; if phase space isn't connected, then you can very well have continuous maps to two or more disjoint intervals.

1:51:40 “The spectrum of an operator lies in the real numbers if and only if the operator is self-adjoint.” This seems to contradict C. M. Bender's 2008 paper Making Sense of Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. It appears that only the implication “self-adjoint ⇒ real spectrum” holds, not the other way. Or is there something I'm missing?

Take the case of finite dimensional linear algebra, and correspond operators to matrices in some basis. You can take the space of real matrices, correspond them to a subset of the complex operators. There are examples of matrices (even integer components) that are not even symmetric (conjugation leaves them fixed) but have a full spectrum of eigenvalues.

Of course it is... 99% of books introducing to QM are not false. And he is not wrong either. Its a question of settings : here he is going with the more general one (as a mathematician should do). Physics books and teachers tend to avoid all these technicalities. Its a compromise between clarity and rigor. That being said, I like his approach : its not only an introduction to QM but also to non-commutative geometry.

@@LordeRataria Thanks for your answer. How do you define the spectra of a classical observable? I am not sure what do you mean with "We do not observe this with classical quantities.". Why is a question like "is the particle at the left or at the right of the boundary?" not a "valid" classical observable?
@LordeRataria
@LordeRataria 3 ай бұрын
@@rayohauno we can define the spectrum of a classical observable as the image of its associated map: recall that we can view an observable *O* as a map O : "Phase Space" --> "Reals". In this way, when you analyse the spectrum of the position observable of some particle (which satisfies Newton's eom), you are simply looking at the image of the map x(t), for instance, to look at the possible values its "x coordinate" can take. If you trajectory allows both positive and negative values for x(t), you can unambiguously determine when it is at "left" or at "right" of the region "x=0", say.

It seems like in the definition of adjoint, we want the existential quantifier for eta to come before alpha, because otherwise it suggests that there could be a different eta that meets the condition for every alpha. The fact that A* is defined by a single eta gave me this impression. Not sure though; need to keep watching.

Most QM is taught not with the goal of reaching theoretical physics level, but for the intent of getting a basic understanding to be applied for physical chemistry, materials science, optics, electronics, or other semi-applied part of physics. In those fields, it truly doesn't matter whether wavefunctions are mathematically rigorous or not, as long as they get the job done (and they certainly do). The final arbiter isn't logical consistency but observational evidence. Finally, the biggest challenge in teaching QM is not the math (though it is formidable), but rather it's translating math into claims about reality and vice versa. In that class, everything you learned about classical physics must be revised, and if you must do all that in under a year, good luck fitting the rigors of math in there! Come to think of it, the Feynman criticism of mathematicians-turned-physicists seems to have had a big impact on this "math clouds physics" mentality.

No, he mentions the simple model of spin 1/2 system of QM, which is what I learned in undergrad, is not the correct way. So this series is more advanced.

When he talk about the "positive" property of linear maps at kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZPUcmyOo8Scg5I, it should be first mentioned that the is a "real" number, otherwise that does not make sense for a general trace-class operator on a "complex" Hilbert space. Note that the states of a quantum system are not required to be "self-adjoint"; so it is not clear that their expectation value, , is always a real number.

Why mit quantum mechanics is so little technical and frederic uses so much math?

Anything but didactical: one should first construct the notions one is going to use instead of first using them and then announce one will later explain them. Thanks anyway for uploading.

Perhaps in mathematics, but in physics it is often the other way. Experiment demonstrates an anomaly, in this case a discrete energy spectrum, that the classical formalism does not predict. The axioms are motivated by this observation rather than intuition or some sense that an interesting structure exists above them.

I can't see why teaching mathematics in physis should be different from teaching mathematics in mathematics. Notions should be introduced in due order!
@nbob6186

Yes but the due order is different in the two disciplines. I interpreted the introduction as a description of nature as shown through experiment, rather than "using the notions". Like I said, in mathematics axioms lead to structure whereas in physics, structures lead to axioms. It's subjective, but that's just my take on it as someone from a physics background. At the end of the day everyone learns differently.

@@LaureanoLuna as stated in the lecture, this was in part a motivation to show that it isn't without a reason to learn these concepts.

What are you talking about. Of course it is more didactical to first give the bigger picture and justify the need for understanding the definitions of the components. If you do it the other way around, sure, it is in the "proper" order, but it is not didactical (it would bore the students to death to see countless definitions without knowing that there is an end goal they should care about).
