What is a neutrino state if not a particle?
When reading about the 2015 Nobel prize and how this led to the possibility of the existence of sterile neutrinos I am told that:
"(...) three active neutrinos $\nu_e$, $\nu_\mu$, $\nu_\tau$, are ...

Inner product evaluation in QM
On wikipedia on the page for inner product it states that for any two $x,y$ in a vector space $V$ the inner product $(\cdot , \cdot)$ satisfies $(ax, y) = a(x,y)$ where $a\in\mathbb{C}$.
The inner ...

Off-shell vs half off-shell vs fully off-shell $T$-matrix
I know what are on-shell particles, but I want to know what are off-shell, and half off-shell, and fully off-shell states? and how we decide to consider one of these states in evaluating $T$-Matrix?

Difference between pure and thermal states
As far as I know by inserting a harmonic potential $V(x) = \frac{1}{2}m \omega x^2$ into the time-independent schrödinger equation I can obtain the wave-functions eigenstates and eigenvalues (energies)...
