Invariance Principles and Elementary Particles Sakurai J.J.

What is exactly the justification of the assumption that elementary particles be point-like in QFT? Harmonic oscillator, superposition, wave-particle duality etc). €�This principle is invariant for any kind of coordinates transformation (any kind of coordinate system) •This principle can be expressed also for non-mechanical systems (thermodynamic systems, electromagnetic fields, elementary particle fields). It's the same principle of the laser! As for GR, according to the Principle of Equivalence, you can always choose a system of coordinates that is like an inertial reference frame at a particular space-time point. With the rapid development of the physics of elementary particles during the 1950s, new conservation laws were discovered that have meaning only on this subatomic level. Point-like particles, Lorentz invariance and QM/QFT in Quantum Physics is being discussed at Physics Forums. It stood then, the Principle was expressed in a manner that would probably come particles. Indeed, searches for fundamental concepts that get to the bottom of things, as in elementary particle physics, are guided by the notion that nature's fundamental structures and interactions are determined by symmetries. I was reading Sakurai's "Invariance Principles and Elementary particles". Symmetry breaking is an the symmetry breaking. In physics, mathematical symmetries imply conservation laws: for instance, translation invariance implies momentum conservation, while rotational invariance implies angular momentum conservation. As mentioned in the description of the 1995 Milestone, the 2001 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded not only for the achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation but also “for early fundamental studies of the properties of the condensates”. The BB84 protocol was based on one party's sending polarized particles to the other and relied on the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for security, since any eavesdropping will alter the results and thus be detectable. The spirit of Emmy Noether—unsung but For example, if you rotate a wine glass about its stem axis, I cannot tell that the glass has been rotated; the appearance of the glass is “invariant” under the rotation. Also, in the context of the physics of elementary particles, spontaneous symmetry-breaking provides a mechanism by which the masses of particles are generated. A theory of fundamental particle interactions built from the gauge invariance principle alone doesn't allow the existence of massive gauge bosons.
