In 1927 the great physicist Paul A. M. Dirac failed to provide a consistent quantum description of the phase of a radiation field. Only one year later, he developed the famous Dirac theory of the electron, which led to the anti-particle --…
A quantum particle on a circle in a quadratic potential exhibits a spectrum that is not harmonic, despite having all algebraic properties of the quantum harmonic oscillator. This raises the question where the usual algebraic argument --…
