1
00:00:00,499 --> 00:00:03,980
PROFESSOR: We have two
equations now relating

2
00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:06,680
this number of states.

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:13,300
And now you can say, oh,
OK, so I look at the k line.

4
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:15,470
And I look at the
little piece of the k

5
00:00:15,470 --> 00:00:17,600
and say, oh, how many
states were there

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,470
with 0 potential, some
number, first blackboard.

7
00:00:21,470 --> 00:00:25,010
How many states are there
now with some potential,

8
00:00:25,010 --> 00:00:26,760
some other number?

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,230
It has changed.

10
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:33,890
For every-- because these two
equations, the n for equal dk,

11
00:00:33,890 --> 00:00:36,710
the n is not equal
to the dn prime.

12
00:00:36,710 --> 00:00:41,660
In one case, the energy
levels or the momentum levels

13
00:00:41,660 --> 00:00:44,930
are more compressed
or more separated,

14
00:00:44,930 --> 00:00:47,920
but whatever it is,
whatever the sign is,

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,500
there is a little discrepancy.

16
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,490
So both of them are
giving me the total number

17
00:00:55,490 --> 00:00:59,920
of positive energy
states in the little dk.

18
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,650
Case So if I take
the difference,

19
00:01:02,650 --> 00:01:05,470
I will get some information.

20
00:01:05,470 --> 00:01:08,260
So I would say the
following, if I

21
00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:13,930
want to calculate the number
of positive energy solutions

22
00:01:13,930 --> 00:01:18,550
and now I think the following,
I take the potential V equals 0

23
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:23,710
and slowly but surely deepen
it, push it, and do things

24
00:01:23,710 --> 00:01:31,750
and create the potential V of
x slowly, slow the formation.

25
00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:38,170
In this process, I can look
at a little interval dk

26
00:01:38,170 --> 00:01:44,780
and tell how many states are
positive energy states I lost.

27
00:01:44,780 --> 00:01:51,460
So if, for example, dn is
bigger than dn prime, dn equal 5

28
00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:56,020
and dn prime is equal to 3, I
started with 5 positive energy

29
00:01:56,020 --> 00:01:59,020
states in this little
interval and by the time

30
00:01:59,020 --> 00:02:02,140
I change the potential
I ended up with 3.

31
00:02:02,140 --> 00:02:03,730
So I lost 2.

32
00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:14,740
So let me write here the
number of positive energy

33
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:29,420
solutions lost in
the interval dk

34
00:02:29,420 --> 00:02:46,690
as the potential is turned
on is dn the original number

35
00:02:46,690 --> 00:02:48,990
minus the dn prime.

36
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,690
If that's positive,
I've lost state.

37
00:02:55,690 --> 00:03:01,340
If it's negative, I gained
state, positive energy states.

38
00:03:01,340 --> 00:03:04,570
In this number, we can
calculate the difference.

39
00:03:04,570 --> 00:03:16,290
This is minus 1 over
pi d delta dk dk.

40
00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:17,467
I'll put it here.

41
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,650
We'll we're not far.

42
00:03:39,650 --> 00:03:41,690
We'll this is what you lost.

43
00:03:41,690 --> 00:03:43,910
The number of positive
energy eigenstates

44
00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:46,580
that you lost in little dk.

45
00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:51,950
To see how many positive energy
states you lost over all,

46
00:03:51,950 --> 00:03:55,460
you must integrate over all
the dk's and see how much

47
00:03:55,460 --> 00:03:58,010
you lost in every little piece.

48
00:03:58,010 --> 00:04:14,470
So the number of positive energy
solutions lost, not in the dk,

49
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:26,210
but lost as the
potential is turned on

50
00:04:26,210 --> 00:04:35,940
is equal to the integral over
k from 0 to infinity of minus 1

51
00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:45,700
over pi d delta dk is in
the way of that expression

52
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:49,370
of that right coincide.

53
00:04:49,370 --> 00:04:53,300
But this is a total derivative.

54
00:04:53,300 --> 00:05:02,280
So this is minus 1 over
pi delta of k evaluated

55
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:05,490
between infinity and 0.

56
00:05:05,490 --> 00:05:11,580
And therefore, the number
of states lost is 1 over pi,

57
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:17,170
because of the sign down to
0 minus delta of infinity.

58
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,150
So we're almost there.

59
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:34,410
This is the number of positive
energy solutions lost.

60
00:05:34,410 --> 00:05:39,210
Now I want to emphasize that the
situation is quite interesting.

61
00:05:39,210 --> 00:05:41,250
Let me make a
little drawing here.

62
00:05:53,470 --> 00:05:55,700
So suppose here
is the case where

63
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:58,070
you have the
potential equal to 0

64
00:05:58,070 --> 00:06:01,820
and here is energy equal to 0.

65
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:03,800
Then you have all these states.

66
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,780
Now even though
we've put the wall,

67
00:06:15,780 --> 00:06:18,870
the wall allows us
to count the states,

68
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:21,790
but there are still going to be
an infinite number of states.

69
00:06:21,790 --> 00:06:26,920
The infinite square wall has
an infinite number of states.

70
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:36,620
So that thing really continues,
but what happens by the time v

71
00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:39,200
is deferred from 0?

72
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,288
Here is that the E
equals 0 line and here is

73
00:06:45,288 --> 00:06:48,510
the E equals 0 line.

74
00:06:48,510 --> 00:06:51,910
As we've discussed,
as you change

75
00:06:51,910 --> 00:07:00,180
the potential slowly, this
are going to shift a little

76
00:07:00,180 --> 00:07:03,160
and some are going
to go down here,

77
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,130
are going to become
bound states.

78
00:07:06,130 --> 00:07:15,912
They're going to be a number of
bound states, N bound states,

79
00:07:15,912 --> 00:07:21,370
number of bound states
equal N. And then

80
00:07:21,370 --> 00:07:24,400
there's going to be
still sub states here

81
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,860
that's also go to infinity.

82
00:07:31,770 --> 00:07:38,210
So you cannot quite
say so easily, well,

83
00:07:38,210 --> 00:07:42,380
the number of states here minus
the number of states here is

84
00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:43,970
the number lost.

85
00:07:43,970 --> 00:07:47,020
That's not true, because that's
infinite, that's infinite,

86
00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:50,000
and subtracting infinity is bad.

87
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,420
But you know that you've lost
a number of finite number

88
00:07:56,420 --> 00:08:00,830
of positive energy solutions.

89
00:08:00,830 --> 00:08:06,710
So as you track here, the
number of states must--

90
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:11,140
the states must go
into each other.

91
00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:15,880
And therefore, if these
four states are now here,

92
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,140
before they were here, and
those were the positive energy

93
00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:24,370
solutions that were lost,
in going from here to here,

94
00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:32,650
you lost positive
energy solutions.

95
00:08:32,650 --> 00:08:37,270
You lost a finite number of
positive energy solutions.

96
00:08:37,270 --> 00:08:39,610
Even though there's infinite
here and infinite here,

97
00:08:39,610 --> 00:08:40,820
you lost some.

98
00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:43,960
And you did that by
keeping track at any place

99
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,140
how much you lost.

100
00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:51,700
And therefore the states
lost are never really lost.

101
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:56,440
They are the ones that
became the band states here.

102
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,380
So the positive energy
states that got lost

103
00:08:59,380 --> 00:09:00,700
are the bound states.

104
00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:05,260
So the number bound states
is equal to the number

105
00:09:05,260 --> 00:09:08,230
of positive energy
solutions, because there

106
00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:09,550
are no lost states.

107
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:14,800
So this is equal to a
number of bound states,

108
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:27,990
because there are
overall no lost states.
