  2. Here is one hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_is_one_hand

    This logical maneuver is often called a G. E. Moore shift or a Moorean shift. [1] This is captured clearly in Fred Dretske's aphorism that "one man's modus ponens is another man's modus tollens". [2] His response takes the following form: If S knows that q, then S knows that not-sk. S knows that q. Therefore, S knows that not-sk.

    "Here is one hand" (Moorean shift) Transparency of consciousness [ 3 ] [ 4 ] George Edward Moore OM FBA (4 November 1873 – 24 October 1958) was an English philosopher, who with Bertrand Russell , Ludwig Wittgenstein and earlier Gottlob Frege was among the initiators of analytic philosophy .

  4. Translation operator (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_operator...

    It is a special case of the shift operator from functional analysis. More specifically, for any displacement vector x {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} } , there is a corresponding translation operator T ^ ( x ) {\displaystyle {\hat {T}}(\mathbf {x} )} that shifts particles and fields by the amount x {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} } .

    Ilya Lifshitz was born into a Ukrainian Jewish family in Kharkov, Kharkov Governorate, Russian Empire (now Kharkiv, Ukraine).Together with Arnold Kosevich, in 1954 Lifshitz established the connection between the oscillation of magnetic characteristics of metals and the form of an electronic surface of Fermi (Lifshitz–Kosevich formula) from de Haas–van Alphen experiments.

    Then = +, =, = T is a function of p alone, while V is a function of q alone (i.e., T and V are scleronomic). In this example, the time derivative of q is the velocity, and so the first Hamilton equation means that the particle's velocity equals the derivative of its kinetic energy with respect to its momentum.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_operator

    In the quantum mechanics study of optical phase space, the displacement operator for one mode is the shift operator in quantum optics, ^ = ⁡ (^ † ^), where is the amount of displacement in optical phase space, is the complex conjugate of that displacement, and ^ and ^ † are the lowering and raising operators, respectively.

  8. Operator (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_(physics)

    An operator is a function over a space of physical states onto another space of states. The simplest example of the utility of operators is the study of symmetry (which makes the concept of a group useful in this context). Because of this, they are useful tools in classical mechanics.

  9. Translation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(geometry)

    In classical physics, translational motion is movement that changes the position of an object, as opposed to rotation.For example, according to Whittaker: [1] If a body is moved from one position to another, and if the lines joining the initial and final points of each of the points of the body are a set of parallel straight lines of length ℓ, so that the orientation of the body in space is ...
