Calculation Based On Quantum Electrodynamics
For quantum electrodynamical calculation, we should introduce the creation and annihilation operators from second quantization of quantum mechanics.
Let
- is a creation operator and
- is an annihilation operator.
Then the beat note becomes
- for V-type and
- for -type,
when the state vector for each type is
- and
- .
The beat note term becomes
- for V-type and
- for -type.
By orthogonality of eigenstates, however and .
Therefore, there is a beat note term for V-type atoms, but not for -type atoms.

Famous quotes containing the words calculation, based and/or quantum:
“Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation appled to life.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“A personality is an indefinite quantum of traits which is subject to constant flux, change, and growth from the birth of the individual in the world to his death. A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.”
—Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)
