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:
““To my thinking” boomed the Professor, begging the question as usual, “the greatest triumph of the human mind was the calculation of Neptune from the observed vagaries of the orbit of Uranus.”
“And yours,” said the P.B.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
““Next time,” said the Inventor, “a woman will be added. Beauty is easy to render because beauty is based on the rendering of beauty, but we are still working on her hips, we want her to roll them, and that is difficult.””
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“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)
