A translation is when we move an object in space by a certain amount. In particular, if I move an object along a straight line, say in the x direction, by a small amount I am translating the object in the x direction by a small amount.<BR/><BR/>In the framework of quantum mechanics, different operations are specified by operators which generate the motion.<BR/><BR/>For example, p, the momentum operator generates translations. That means that we can build a translation operator (which moves objects that it acts upon) out of p, the momentum operator.<BR/><BR/>Due to some more intricate details, the translation operator must have certain characteristics like unitarity. And this operator can be built by successively by compounding the momentum operator in the following way:<BR/><BR/>Translation operator=1-p*dx + ...<BR/>Hope that helps.Mahndisa S.

We applauded it and were proud of our country for the actions it took. However, there was no sound justification for the Iraq adventure which was based on distorted intelligence and exaggeration. We can debate if the term "lie" applies in this instance, but it certainly applies to the administration's subseequent characterization of the status of Iraq. Also, you should be careful about crowing about the suppression of the Taliban. They're on their way back - mainly because we decided to focus on Iraq.<BR/><BR/>SickoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1162501176612699702006-11-02T12:59:00.000-08:002006-11-02T12:59:00.000-08:0011 02 06Bill what harsh words!

His comment was arrogant, elitist, poorly reasoned and straight up STUPID!<BR/><BR/>You know, the libDEMS are such hypocrites it makes me sick! They benefit from all of the technological innovations put out by the military industrial complex, yet wish to cut its funding and participation down to nill. Is that not the stupidest thing you ever heard?<BR/><BR/>Funny when they bitch about no war ad Bush lied, but yet if Bush hadn't taken action in Afghanistan the Taliban would be still in power and radical islam would've spread even farther than it has!<BR/><BR/>There is no logic, no rhyme nor reason to his utterances.<BR/><BR/>I tried not to say anything one way or the other, but this kinda crap pisses me off!<BR/><BR/>BTW: The anonymous commenter always has to say something vulger and foul. What a sicko!Mahndisa S.

You must have heard now that at least 7 Americans were shot Halloween night on San Francisco's Castro Street. Despite this, morale of Americans in Castro is high and most are re-enlisting to be gay another 4 years.L.

Kerry is unable to even tell a joke much make any fun of himself. He doesnt' tell jokes because he can't. His sorry excuse of making it about President Bush doesn't even make sense. <BR/><BR/>He is a lame duck with a big mouth and a small brain who should just stick to marrying other guys' uber-rich wives.Katy Grimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990099801243520229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1162482571223729352006-11-02T07:49:00.000-08:002006-11-02T07:49:00.000-08:00You wingnuts are amazing.

Bush starts an unnecessary 4-year war, destroys a country and causes the death of hundreds of thousands of people, and you think he's a hero. What kind of morons are you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1162450532762653952006-11-01T22:55:00.000-08:002006-11-01T22:55:00.000-08:00I heard the quote LIVE and wondered why NO ONE cau...I heard the quote LIVE and wondered why NO ONE caught it. I did and said to Mike, my contractor, Kerry just shot himself in the head. Mike nearly fell off his ladder getting to the TV. He thought he really did shoot himself and was ready to see all the blood. It was a bloodless death. He could have at least thrown some ketchup on himself!!!! <BR/><BR/>JillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1162450436263898002006-11-01T22:53:00.000-08:002006-11-01T22:53:00.000-08:00Can you imagine the rage of the American people du...Can you imagine the rage of the American people during WWII if anyone had dared to sob about "our children" dying on Iwo Jima? Did anyone ever refer the 300+ N.Y. firefighters who died on September 11 as "our children?" How about the cops who yearly die in the line of duty? Children? <BR/><BR/>The Left is so sick. At one moment they are raging about abuses at Abu Ghraib, the next they are filled with pity and sorrow for our soldiers as fearful, hapless victims in need of more body armor and a quick exit pass home to mom and safety. <BR/><BR/>So is the military is made up of monsters or children? Or poor slobs who flunked out of JC. Or minorities who had the dismal choice of slinging fries at McDonalds or joining the Marine Corps. Depending upon the audience, and the tactical advantage to be gained by the accusation du jour, the Left is happy with any negative characterization of the military, so long as it is also understood that at election time they really do "support the troops."<BR/><BR/>GregAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1162448231481305962006-11-01T22:17:00.000-08:002006-11-01T22:17:00.000-08:00You are on the BALL!!!
