General physics

In mathematics and physics, in particular in the theory of the orthogonal groups (such as the rotation or the Lorentz groups), spinors are elements of a complex vector space introduced to expand the ...

Slater determinant

Physics; General physics

In quantum mechanics, a Slater determinant is an expression that describes the wave function of a multi-fermionic system that satisfies anti-symmetry requirements and consequently the Pauli exclusion ...

Schrödinger-Bild

Physics; General physics

In physics, the Schrödinger picture is a formulation of quantum mechanics in which the state vectors evolve in time, but the operators (observables and others) are constant.

Floquet theory

Physics; General physics

Floquet theory is a branch of the theory of ordinary differential equations relating to the class of solutions to linear differential equations of the form (x) = A(t) x with A(t) a piecewise ...

Koopmans' theorem

Physics; General physics

Koopmans' theorem states that in closed-shell Hartree-Fock theory, the first ionization energy of a molecular system is equal to the negative of the orbital energy of the highest occupied molecular ...

Kondo effect

Physics; General physics

In physics, the Kondo effect describes the scattering of conduction electrons in a metal due to magnetic impurities. It is a measure of how electrical resistivity changes with temperature.
