Hamiltonian fluid mechanics is the application of HamiltonianmechanicsHamiltonian methods to fluid mechanics . This formalism can only apply to non dissipative fluids.

For this barotropic flow, the internal energy is related to the pressure p by math e frac 1 rho p , math where an apostrophe , denotes differentiation with respect to &rho .

No footnotes date April 2009 In loop quantum gravity , dynamics such as time evolutions of fields are controlled by the Hamiltonian constraint . The identity of the Hamiltonian constraint is a major open question in quantum gravity , as is extracting of physical observables from any such specific constraint. The Thomas Thiemann Thiemann Operator physics operator has been proposed as such a constraint. Although this operator defines a complete and consistent quantum theory, doubts have been raised as to the physical reality of this theory due to inconsistencies with classical general relativity the quantum constraint algebra closes, but it is not isomorphic to the classical constraint algebra of GR, which is seen as circumstantial evidence of inconsistencies definitely not a proof of inconsistencies , and so variants have been proposed.

Refimprove date June 2008 In quantummechanics , a sum rule is a formula for transitions between energy levels, in which the sum of the transition strengths is expressed in a simple form. Sum rules are used to describe the properties of many physical systems, including solids, atoms, atomic nuclei, and nuclear constituents such as protons and neutrons. The sum rules are derived from quite general principles, and are useful in situations where the behavior of individual energy levels is too complex to describe by a precise quantum mechanical theory. In general, sum rules are derived by using Heisenberg s quantum mechanical algebra to construct operator equalities, which are then applied to particles or the energy levels of a system.

context date June 2009 Purity of a quantum state In quantummechanics , and especially quantum information quantum information theory , the purity of a state is a scalar defined as math gamma , equiv , mbox Tr rho 2 , math where math rho , math is the density matrix of the state. The purity can range between unity, corresponding to a completely pure state, and math 1 d , math , corresponding to a completely mixed state. Here, math d , math is the dimension of the density matrix. Purity is trivially related to the Linear entropy math S L , math of a state by math gamma 1 S L , . math Projectivity of a measurement For a quantum measurement, the projectivity ref Taoufik Amri, Quantum behavior of measurement apparatus, http arxiv1.library.cornell.edu abs 1001.3032 arXiv 1001.3032 2010 . ref is the purity of its Quantum tomography pre measurement state . This Quantum tomography pre measurement state is the main tool of the Quantum Retrodiction retrodictive approach of quantum physics, in which we make predictions about state preparations leading to a given measurement result. It allows us to determine in which kind of states the measured system was prepared for leading to such a result.
