The hydrogen atom is a system amenable to an exact treatment within Schroedinger's formulation of quantum mechanics according to coordinates in four systems -- spherical polar, paraboloidal, ellipsoidal and spheroconical coordinates; the…
We demonstrate that the theory presented by A. Fang (Phys. Fluids, v. 34, 013319, 2022) violates the law of conservation of angular momentum, and is therefore false.
The main scope of this research consists in evaluating the energy-momentum (gravitational field plus matter) and gravitational angular momentum densities in the universe with global rotation, considering the Godel-Obukhov metric. For this,…
In this paper we provide a consistent framework to address the notorious decomposition of the single-photon total angular momentum (TAM) into a spin (SAM) and an orbital (OAM) component. In particular, we find that the canonical SAM and…
The standard solution of the Schroedinger equation for the hydrogen atom is analyzed. Comparing with the recently established internal properties of electrons it is found, that these solutions cannot be seen as physically valid states of…
Waves of various types carry momentum, which is associated with their propagation direction, i.e., the phase gradient. The circulation of the wave momentum density gives rise to orbital angular momentum (AM). Additionally, for waves…
The angular momentum of the physical electron, modelled as a Dirac fermion coupled to the electromagnetic field, is found to be hbar/2, the same as that of a bare Dirac fermion and independent of the size of the electric charge.
The hydrogen atom perturbed by a constant 1-dimensional weak quadratic potential $\lambda z^2$ is solved at first-order perturbation theory using the eigenstates of the total angular momentum operator - the coupled basis. Physical…
The quadrupole moment of a hydrogen atom in a magnetic field for field strengths from 0 to 4.414e13 G is calculated by two different methods. The first method is variational, and based on a single trial function. The second method deals…
We revisit the longstanding electromagnetic mass problem from a modern quantum field theory perspective. Focusing on a system of two widely separated hydrogen atoms, one in an excited $nS$ state and the other in the ground $1S$ state, we…
We present an introduction to mass and angular momentum in General Relativity. After briefly reviewing energy-momentum for matter fields, first in the flat Minkowski case (Special Relativity) and then in curved spacetimes with or without…
This article was published as Sec.5 of the "Roadmap on Structured Light" in Journal of Optics 19 (2017) 013001. Section 5 describes the essential elements of the classical theory of electromagnetic angular momentum.
The MIT bag model is shown to be wrong because the bag pressure cannot be held constant, and the volume can be fixed in terms of it. The bag derivation of Regge's trajectories is invalidated by an integration of the energy and angular…
A partial separation of the variables is practicable for the solution of Schroedinger's temporally independent equation in cartesian coordinates x,y,z, which yields moderately simple algebraic formulae for the amplitude functions involving…
We investigate the possibility of detecting the Podolsky generalized electrodynamics constant $a$. First we analyze an ion interferometry apparatus proposed by B. Neyenhuis, et al (Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, (2007) 200401) who looked for…
Recently it was discovered that the ground state orbital angular momentum in two-dimensional chiral superfluids with pairing symmetry $(p_x+ip_y)^\nu$ depends on the winding number $\nu$ in a striking manner. The ground state value for the…
We leverage the power of neural quantum states to describe the ground state wave function of solid and liquid atomic hydrogen, including both electronic and protonic degrees of freedom. For static protons, the resulting Born-Oppenheimer…

We re-examine the justification for the imposition of regular boundary conditions on the wavefunction at the Coulomb singularity in the treatment of the hydrogen atom in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. We show that the issue of the…
