Spectrum of momentum operator of quantum physics

535 Views Asked by At

I am stuck with the following problem:

Given the momentum operator of quantum mechanics $Af = - if'$ where the domain $D(A)$ consists of functions $f \in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ that are absolutely continuous and such that $f' \in L^2(\mathbb{R})$.

(i) Prove that $A$ has no eigenvalues.

(ii) Prove that the continuous spectrum of $A$ is $\mathbb{R}$.

We have already shown in class that $A$ is self-adjoint.

For (i) I would use the equation for eigenvalues $Af = \lambda f$ and then show that this cannot hold. But I came up with a solution which shouldn't be the case.

For (ii) we have to construct a sequence $\{f_n\}_{n\geq1}$ in $D(A)$ with $||f_n||=1$ and $||(A-\lambda I)f_n|| \to 0$ for all $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, but I have problems finding this sequence.

I would be grateful for any input.
