	Fermi Theory of Beta Decay
		Straightforward in concept, Fermi's Golden Rule says that the transition rate is proportional to the strength of the coupling between the initial and final states factored by the density of final states available to the system.
		By 1934, Enrico Fermi had developed a theory of beta decay to include the neutrino, presumed to be massless as well as chargeless.
		But the nature of the interaction which led to beta decay was unknown in Fermi's time (the weak interaction).

	On the generalized golden rule for transition probabilities
		We show that the usual expression found in the literature, which tries to generalize the `Fermi golden rule' beyond second order in perturbation, is (surprisingly) incorrect.
		After identifying the weak steps of the two usual derivations, we derive a new expression of this generalized golden rule, intrinsically very different from the previous one, even though its form may look similar.

	Irreversible Processes and Master Equations
		The Pauli master equation is then just (84) with the Fermi golden-rule rates (82).
		There are a number of conceptual problems with the Pauli equation [33], not the least of which is that it produces violations of the continuity equation [5].
		The Pauli master equation [33] is the most commonly used model of irreversible processes in simple quantum systems.

	Numerical Method for Calculating Spontaneous Emission Rate Near a Surface
		The spontaneous emission rate is calculated using Fermi's golden rule, which can be described in terms of the classical Density of States (DOS).
		We present a novel computational approach for calculating spontaneous emission in the presence of a surface of a material slab.
		The only requirement on the material is that it should have periodicity parallel to the surface.

	Green's Functions for Maxwell's Equations: Application to Spontaneous Emission
		The spontaneous emission rate can be calculated using Fermi's Golden Rule, which can be expressed in terms of the DOS of the optical modes available to the emitted photon.
		It is shown that the enhancement or suppression of spontaneous emission strongly depends on the frequency of the light.
		Using the close relationship between the Green's function and the density of states (DOS), we apply our method to calculate the spontaneous emission rate as a function of the distance to a material surface.

		In this perturbative regime the Fermi golden rule still applies and there is a spectral and spatial redistribution of the emission probability with a resulting, cavity resonance determined, spectrally narrowed, non-Lambertian emission.
		Strongly coupled microcavities with PBPS as the active layer show the expected anti-crossing between the cavity photon and exciton modes and a giant Rabi splitting of < 430 meV between upper and lower polariton branches at resonance.

	Transition Probabilities and Fermi's Golden Rule
		From the quantum theory came an explanation in terms of wavefunctions, and for situations where the transition probability is constant in time, it is usually expressed in a relationship called Fermi's golden rule.
		This coupling term is traditionally called the "matrix element" for the transition: this term comes from an alternative formulation of quantum mechanics in terms of matrices rather than the differential equations of the Schrodinger approach.
		The transition probability is proportional to the square of the integral of this interaction over all of the space appropriate to the problem.

	Implementation of Separable Scattering Mechanisms in Three-Dimensional Quantum Mechanical Simulations of a Silicon Quantum Wire
		The Monte Carlo technique handles scattering in a very natural way where quantum mechanical rates are derived from Fermi’s Golden Rule and then applied to a distribution of electrons.
		However, Monte Carlo cannot account for the quantum effects that are seen in future devices.
		Here, we present results of the first implementation of separable phonon scattering rates in a three-dimensional, fully quantum mechanical, self-consistent device simulation.

	Beta Decay
		Beta decay can be considered as a perturbation as described in quantum mechanics, and thus follow Fermi's Golden Rule.
		In nuclear physics, beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (an electron or a positron) is emitted.
		In some nuclei, beta decay is energetically prevented, and in some of these cases the nuclei may undergo double beta decay.

	Fermi Theory of Beta Decay
		Treating the beta decay as a transition that depended upon the strength of coupling between the initial and final states, Fermi developed a relationship which is now referred to as Fermi's Golden Rule:

	Beta decay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beta decay can be considered as a perturbation as described in quantum mechanics, and thus follows Fermi's Golden Rule.
		In nature, most isotopes are beta stable, but a few exceptions exist with half-lives so long that they have not had enough time to decay since the moment of their nucleosynthesis.
		This was in apparent contradiction to the law of conservation of energy, as it appeared that energy was lost in the beta decay process.

	RMK articles : Two kinds of Cross Ratio Probabilities -- Preliminary
		The concept is further strengthened by the recognition that Fermi's golden rule of transition probability is one of these cross ratios that is bounded by zero and 1.
		An arbitrary horizontal intercept yields the usual six values of the projective cross ratios between the two degeneracy limits, where the cross ratios coalesce in pairs.
		The last class of numbers, bounded between zero and one, suggests a connection between these cross ratio invariants and the concepts of probability and statistics.

		The Auger transition rate was solved very early in the history of Quantum Mechanics by Wentzel (1927), who calculated transition matrix elements (Fermi's Golden Rule) between the initial (atomic) and the final (continuum) states based on the Coulomb interaction.
		The line shape of LVV Auger transitions is thought to reflect the self-convolution of the valence band density of states, whereas the UPS spectrum reflects the density of states directly.
		Auger Electron energies are closely related to the corresponding X-ray energy, and most usually are described in X-ray notation.

	DAMOCLES: Electron-phonon scattering and pair production rates in Si
		Finally, we shall assume that the electrons couple weakly (linearly) with the phonons, so that we can use first-order perturbation theory and the famous "Fermi Golden Rule".
		In this case, electrons are subject to two main types of collisions: With the thermal vibrations of the Si ions away from their equilibrium positions (phonon scattering), and with electrons in the valence band.
		Using DAMOCLES to simulate the experimental results, the ionization rate was varied, while keeping the phonon scattering rate fixed, in order to reproduce the observed attenuation and broadening with varying photon energy.

	Monet: Electron/Phonon Monte Carlo
		This is a semi-classical approach because the scattering rates are computed quantum-mechanically (from Fermi's Golden Rule using wave function overlap integrals) yet during the free flight between scattering events the particles simply follow Newton's Laws (F=ma).
		Scattering with LA and TA phonons is treated separately and the full phonon dispersion is used when calculating the acoustic intravalley scattering rates.
		One of the features that distinguish Monet from other analytic-band MC codes is that all phonon generation and absorption events are tallied.

	RMK articles : Two kinds of Cross Ratio Probabilities -- Preliminary
		The concept is further strengthened by the recognition that Fermi's golden rule of transition probability is one of these cross ratios that is bounded by zero and 1.
		When one cross ratio is evaluated with value k, the other cross ratios are known immediately, and have values (1-k), (1-1/k), 1/k,1/(1-k), and 1/(1-1/k).
		One of the things about projective geometry that has fascinated me for more than thirty years is the fact that all (projective) invariants are cross ratios (or functions thereof), and that except for special cases there exist six fundamental cross ratios for any configuration.
