quantum mechanics - Coupled Harmonic Oscillator - Solve by diagonalization




I have a problem where I have two massive Particles $M$ and one particle with mass $m

This probably means to switch to new coordinates \begin{equation} y_1 = -q_1+q_2\\ y_2 = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}q_1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}q_2+q_3\\ y_3 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}q_1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}q_2+q_3 \end{equation}


But what do I do with the momentum operators. They should change accordingly but I am confused as to how exactly

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
