For , choose and nominal resonance . Starting from up spin, the rotating-wave approximation gives the normalized Bloch vector in the title, with signed . It follows by transforming the spinor from the interaction picture back to the Schrödinger picture. Thus weak transverse driving combines slow meridional Rabi oscillations with fast Larmor precession.
This result requires and cannot be extrapolated as a controlled strong-drive formula. The exact equation is . For , neglecting the bias gives the controlled leading solution
The fixed-axis driving generators commute at all times, making this solution exact when the bias is zero at any prescribed drive frequency. At nominal resonance in a strong-drive experiment, the initial rotation scale is , twice the incorrectly extrapolated rotating-wave rate. Bias effects must be retained on longer times.
Centrifugal governor 2026-10-18
A mechanism in which rotating weights move outward as angular speed increases, allowing their displacement to indicate or regulate a machine's speed. The steady configuration follows the balance of actual applied forces and centripetal acceleration, or equivalently of applied forces and centrifugal force in a rotating reference frame. Geometry and the restoring mechanism determine the speed-displacement relation.
Geodesic equation in a uniformly rotating Minkowski chart Created 2026-10-18 Updated 2026-10-20
Set the inertial cylindrical angle to . The Minkowski metric becomes . For a massive geodesic parametrized by proper time, its cyclic coordinates give conserved covariant four-momentum components , and . Their combination gives . The radial Euler-Lagrange equation gives the displayed coordinate acceleration, although the free worldline is straight in inertial coordinates. The conserved inertial energy is , and the inertial axial angular momentum is .
The Robertson-Schrödinger uncertainty relation keeps the real part discarded in the proof of the Robertson uncertainty principle. Write and . Their quantum covariance is . On the same finite-moment and product operator domains used above, the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality gives
For position and momentum, form the real, symmetrized covariance matrix
A larger coordinatewise product can therefore encode a tilted covariance ellipse, rather than a larger determinant. This explains why the equality case of the Heisenberg uncertainty relation is more restrictive than equality in the Robertson-Schrödinger uncertainty relation.
