The derivation of spherical harmonics is the same in nearly every quantum mechanics textbook and classroom. It is found to be difficult to follow, hard to understand, and challenging to reproduce by most students. In this work, we show how one can determine spherical harmonics in a more natural way based on operators and a powerful identity called the exponential disentangling operator identity (known in quantum optics, but little used elsewhere). This new strategy follows naturally after one has introduced Dirac notation, computed the angular momentum algebra, and determined the action of the angular momentum raising and lowering operators on the simultaneous angular momentum eigenstates (under $hat L^2$ and $hat L_z$).

We present a new spectral scheme for analysing functions of half-integer spin-weight on the $2$-sphere and demonstrate the stability and convergence properties of our implementation. The dynamical evolution of the Dirac equation on a manifold with sp atial topology of $mathbb{S}^2$ via pseudo-spectral method is also demonstrated.
This paper addresses the mathematical models for the heat-conduction equations and the Navier-Stokes equations via fractional derivatives without singular kernel.
Spherical Harmonics, $Y_ell^m(theta,phi)$, are derived and presented (in a Table) for half-odd-integer values of $ell$ and $m$. These functions are eigenfunctions of $L^2$ and $L_z$ written as differential operators in the spherical-polar angles, $th eta$ and $phi$. The Fermion Spherical Harmonics are a new, scalar and angular-coordinate-dependent representation of fermion spin angular momentum. They have $4pi$ symmetry in the angle $phi$, and hence are not single-valued functions on the Euclidean unit sphere; they are double-valued functions on the sphere, or alternatively are interpreted as having a double-sphere as their domain.
This paper is devoted to study discrete and continuous bases for spaces supporting representations of SO(3) and SO(3,2) where the spherical harmonics are involved. We show how discrete and continuous bases coexist on appropriate choices of rigged Hil bert spaces. We prove the continuity of relevant operators and the operators in the algebras spanned by them using appropriate topologies on our spaces. Finally, we discuss the properties of the functionals that form the continuous basis.
We evaluate the variance of coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the quantum evolution operator for chaotic 4-regular quantum graphs (networks) via periodic orbits without taking the semiclassical limit. The variance of the n-th coefficie nt is precisely determined by the number of primitive pseudo orbits (sets of distinct primitive periodic orbits) with n bonds that fall in the following classes: those with no self-intersections, and those where all the self-intersections consist of two sections of the pseudo orbit crossing at a single vertex (2-encounters of length zero).
