Question 1
Question
Given the Schrödinger equation,
\( i\partial_t |\psi\rangle = H|\psi\rangle,\)
which of the following is true?
Answer
-
The Schrödinger equation is a purely nonrelativistic equation, as it is not possible to find a relativistic Hamiltonian
-
The Schrödinger equation can be made relativistic by chosing a relativistic Hamiltonian
-
The Schrödinger equation cannot be Lorentz covariant because of its special role of time
-
The Schrödinger equation requires that the time development of \(\psi\) follows a hermitian operation
Question 2
Question
What is the problem with the Klein-Gordon equation? Why can't we interpret it as a relativistic single particle equation?
Answer
-
The probability density is not positive definite
-
It is a linear equation, we wan't a nonlinear one
-
The Klein-Gordon equation is not relativistic
-
The Klein-Gordon equation has no real solutions

Which relation do the Dirac \(\gamma\)-matrices satisfy?
Answer
-
\([\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu]=2g^{\mu\nu}\)
-
\([\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu]=g^{\mu\nu}\)
-
\(\{\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu\}=2g^{\mu\nu}\)
-
\(\{\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu\}=g^{\mu\nu}\)
-
\(\{\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu\}=\delta^{\mu\nu}\)
-
\([\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu]=\delta^{\mu\nu}\)

Question 6
Question
The quantization of the free electromagnetic field poses a problem which can be solved by adding a gauge breaking term to the Lagrangian. Which one?
\(\mathcal L\to\mathcal L + G\)
Answer
-
\(G=(\lambda-1)(\partial\cdot A)^2\)
-
\(G=-\frac{\lambda}{2}(\partial\cdot A)^2\)
-
\(G=-\lambda g^{\mu0}(\partial\cdot A)\)
-
\(G=-(1-\lambda)\partial_\mu(\partial\cdot A)\)
-
\(G=\langle\psi|\partial\cdot A|\psi\rangle\)
