Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

Path distributions for describing eigenstates of orbital angular momentum

arXiv:2308.02884v5 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: The manner in which probability amplitudes of paths sum up to form wave functions of orbital angular momentum eigenstates is described. Using a generalization of stationary-phase analysis, distributions are derived that provide a measure of how paths contribute towards any given eigenstate. In the limit of long travel-time, these distributions turn out to be real-valued, non-negative functions of a momentum variable that describes classical travel between the endpoints of a path (with the paths explicitly including nonclassical ones, described in terms of elastica). The distributions are functions of both this characteristic momentum as well as a polar angle that provides a tilt, relative to the z-axis of the chosen coordinate system, of the geodesic that connects the endpoints. The resulting description provides a replacement for the well-known "vector model" for describing orbital angular momentum, and importantly, it includes treatment of the case when the quantum number $\ell$ is zero (i.e., s-states).
