In the process of solving the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom, it is found that the orbital angular momentum is quantized according to the relationship:

The direction is given by the right hand rule which would give L the direction out of the diagram. For an orbit, angular momentum is conserved, and this leads to one of Kepler's laws. For a circular orbit, L becomes...

The operator L=R´P satisfies the commutation relations and is called the orbital angular momentum operator. We denote the common eigenstates of L2 and Lz by {|k,l,m>}.

The magnitude of the orbital angular momentum is characterized by the azimuthal quantum number l, which may take on the values 0, 1, ..., , where n is the principal quantum number according to...

To calculate the orbital angular momentum of an object multiply its mass M, orbital velocity and distance R from the sun. The mass and solar distances are given in the text (Table 6-1) and the orbital velocity can be determined by dividing the circumference of the planet's orbit: by the period of its orbit T.

The phase fronts of light beams in orbital angular momentum (OAM) eigenstates rotate, clockwise for positive OAM values, anti-clockwise for negative values. The phase front with 0 OAM doesn't rotate at all. OAM = -1 hbar per photon (right-hand helical phase front);

(November 2004) We have pioneered the use of orbital angular momentum to encode information in free-space optical communication. Just like an intensity that is switched on or off can represent a value of zero or one -- a bit!
