Quantum Mechanical Rotations
With every physical rotation R, we postulate a quantum mechanical rotation operator D(R) which rotates quantum mechanical states.
In terms of the generators of rotation,
Please see "rotations in quantum mechanics" for details.

Famous quotes containing the words quantum and/or mechanical:
“But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
