Helmholtz free energy — In thermodynamics, the Helmholtz free energy is a thermodynamic potential which measures the “useful” work obtainable from a closed thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and volume. For such a system, the negative of the difference in… … Wikipedia
Self-energy — In theoretical physics and quantum field theory a particle s self energy Σ represents the contribution to the particle s energy, or effective mass, due to interactions between the particle and the system it is part of. For example, in… … Wikipedia
Degenerate energy level — This article is about different quantum states having the same energy. For other uses, see Degeneracy. In physics, two or more different quantum states are said to be degenerate if they are all at the same energy level. Statistically this means… … Wikipedia
Perturbation theory (quantum mechanics) — In quantum mechanics, perturbation theory is a set of approximation schemes directly related to mathematical perturbation for describing a complicated quantum system in terms of a simpler one. The idea is to start with a simple system for which a … Wikipedia

Fock state — A Fock state (also known as a number state), in quantum mechanics, is any element of a Fock space with a well defined number of particles (or quanta). These states are named after the Soviet physicist, V. A. Fock. Contents 1 Definition 2 Energy… … Wikipedia
Quantum harmonic oscillator — The quantum harmonic oscillator is the quantum mechanical analogue of the classical harmonic oscillator. It is one of the most important model systems in quantum mechanics because an arbitrary potential can be approximated as a harmonic potential … Wikipedia
