So wait, the Hamiltonian of a system represents the minimum energy configuration...so, a particle moving in a straight line (well, no acceleration) is the lowest energy configuration?
I dunno where I'm going with this. Hopefully to a little more understanding, but that's not overly likely.


Well, that depends: a particle moving in a straight line being acted upon by what forces?

A hydrogen atom (in the ground state) can be described by a quantum mechanical Hamiltonian that gives the equations for the description of the hydrogen atom (ground state). In fact, the Hamiltonian in quantum mechanics leads to the Schrödinger equation - one of the fundamental equations of quantum theory. And since we are talking about the ground state of an atom, we are really considering its lowest energy configuration.

No! A particle at rest is! A particle moving in a straight line with no acceleration still has kinetic energy!



And when the sunlight hits the olive oil, don't hesitate.
