Hamiltonian (quantum mechanics)

In quantum mechanics, the Hamiltonian of a system is an operator corresponding to the total energy of that system, including both kinetic energy and potential energy. Its spectrum, the system's energy spectrum or its set of energy eigenvalues, is the set of possible outcomes obtainable from a measurement of the system's total energy. Due to its close relation to the energy spectrum and time-evolution of a system, it is of fundamental importance in most formulations of quantum theory. The Hamiltonian is named after William Rowan Hamilton, who developed a revolutionary reformulation of Newtonian mechanics, known as Hamiltonian mechanics, which was historically important to the development of quantum physics. Similar to vector notation, it is typically denoted by , where the hat indicates that it is an operator. It can also be written as or . (Wikipedia).

Quantum Field Theory 5c - Classical Electrodynamics III

We end with a derivation of the classical interaction Hamiltonian for a charged particle moving in an electromagnetic field. There is a lot of "turn the crank" math in this installment, but the final result will be key to our continued development of quantum field theory.
