• Symmetry in Quantum Mechanics • Conservations Laws in Classical Mechanics • Parity Messages • Symmetries give rise to conserved quantities. Although we will apply these ideas mostly to the conservation of angular momentum, the essential point is that the theorems about the conservation of all kinds of quantities are—in the quantum mechanics—related to the symmetries of the system. 666.7 666.7 666.7 666.7 611.1 611.1 444.4 444.4 444.4 444.4 500 500 388.9 388.9 277.8 /BaseFont/KSVFMM+CMMI12 /LastChar 196 >> In quantum mechanics, however, the conservation laws are very deeply related to the principle of superposition of amplitudes, and to the symmetry of physical systems under various changes.
