introduction Eigenstates Because of the uncertainty principle , statements about both the position and momentum of particles can only assign a probability that the position or momentum will have some numerical value. The uncertainty principle also says that eliminating uncertainty about position maximizes uncertainty about momentum, and eliminating uncertainty about momentum maximizes uncertainty about position. A probability distribution assigns probabilities to all possible values of position and momentum. Schr dinger s wave equation gives wavefunction solutions, the squares of which are probabilities of where the electron might be, just as Heisenberg s probability distribution does. ref name Uncertaintyprinciple1 cite book last Greiner first Walter authorlink coauthors forward by D. a.

Context date October 2009 In theoretical physics and quantum field theory a particle s self energy math Sigma math represents the contribution to the particle s energy , or effective mass , due to interactions between the particle and the system it is part of. For example, in electrostatics the self energy of a given charge distribution is the energy required to assemble the distribution by bringing in the constituent charges from infinity, where the electric force goes to zero. In a condensed matter context relevant to electrons moving in a material, the self energy represents the potential felt by the electron due to the surrounding medium s interactions with it for example, the fact that electrons ... are included in the self energy. Mathematically, this energy is equal to the so called on the mass shell value of the proper self energy operator or proper mass operator in the momentum energy representation ... time representation , the self energy is pictorially and economically represented by means ... and energy, or four momentum , one retains a contribution to the self energy operator in, for instance, the momentum energy representation .
