But two University scientists were still surprised to find it lurking in a quantum mechanics formula for the energy states of the hydrogen atom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t just find pi,\u201d said Tamar Friedmann, a visiting assistant professor of mathematics and a research associate of high energy physics, and co-author of a paper published this week in the <em>Journal of Mathematical Physics<\/em>. \u201cWe found the classic seventeenth<sup>\u00a0<\/sup>century Wallis formula for pi, making us the first to derive it from physics, in general, and quantum mechanics, in particular.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Wallis formula\u2014developed by British mathematician John Wallis in his book <em>Arithmetica Infinitorum<\/em>\u2014defines \u03c0 as the product of an infinite string of ratios made up of integers. For Friedmann, discovering the Wallis formula for \u03c0 in a quantum mechanics formula for the hydrogen atom\u2019s energy states underscores \u03c0\u2019s omnipresence in math and science.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe value of pi has taken on a mythical status, in part, because it\u2019s impossible to write it down with 100 percent accuracy,\u201d said Friedmann, \u201cIt cannot even be accurately expressed as a ratio of integers, and is, instead, best represented as a formula.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Friedmann did not set out to look for \u03c0 nor for the Wallis formula. The discovery began in a quantum mechanics course taught by Carl\u00a0Hagen, a professor of physics at the University of Rochester and one of the six physicists who predicted the existence of the Higgs boson. While the quantum calculations developed by Danish physicist Niels\u00a0Bohr in the early twentieth<sup>\u00a0<\/sup>century give accurate values for the energy states of hydrogen, Hagen wanted his students to use an alternate method\u2014called the variational principle\u2014to approximate the value for the ground state of the hydrogen atom. Like the Wallis formula, the variational principle dates back to the seventeenth\u00a0century, one of its first appearances being the Principle of Least Time of mathematician Pierre de Fermat, a contemporary of Wallis. Hagen also started thinking about whether it would be possible to apply this method to states other than the ground state. Hagen got Friedmann involved to take advantage of her ability to work in both physics and mathematics.<\/p>\n<p>Although applying the variational principle to calculate the ground state of a hydrogen atom is a relatively straightforward problem, its applicability to an excited state is far from obvious. This is because the variational principle cannot ordinarily be applied if there are lower energy levels. However, Friedmann and Hagen were able to get around that by separating the problem into a series of <em>l<\/em> problems, each of which focused on the lowest energy level for\u00a0 a given orbital angular momentum quantum number, <em>l<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>They could then calculate the values for the different energy states and compare them with the values obtained by Bohr almost a century ago. This enabled them to determine how the ratio of the Bohr values to the values obtained with the \u2018tweaked\u2019 variational principle changed as higher and higher energy levels were taken into account. And they were surprised to see that the ratio yielded\u2014effectively\u2014the Wallis formula for \u03c0.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the calculation of Friedmann and Hagen resulted in an expression involving special mathematical functions called gamma functions leading to the formula<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-128052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/pi-Figure1.png\" alt=\"pi-Figure1\" width=\"458\" height=\"111\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!-- [if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id=\"_x0000_t75\" coordsize=\"21600,21600\" o:spt=\"75\" o:preferrelative=\"t\" path=\"m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe\" filled=\"f\" stroked=\"f\">\n<v:stroke joinstyle=\"miter\"\/>\n<v:formulas>\n<v:f eqn=\"if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"sum @0 1 0\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"sum 0 0 @1\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"prod @2 1 2\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"prod @3 21600 pixelWidth\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"prod @3 21600 pixelHeight\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"sum @0 0 1\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"prod @6 1 2\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"prod @7 21600 pixelWidth\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"sum @8 21600 0\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"prod @7 21600 pixelHeight\"\/>\n<v:f eqn=\"sum @10 21600 0\"\/>\n<\/v:formulas>\n<v:path o:extrusionok=\"f\" gradientshapeok=\"t\" o:connecttype=\"rect\"\/>\n<o:lock v:ext=\"edit\" aspectratio=\"t\"\/>\n<\/v:shapetype><v:shape id=\"_x0000_s1026\" type=\"#_x0000_t75\" style='position:absolute; margin-left:175.5pt;margin-top:445.9pt;width:253.5pt;height:61.65pt;z-index:251658240'>\n<v:imagedata src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\\Users\\ltorchia\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\msohtmlclip1\\01\\clip_image001.png\" o:title=\"Discovered Wallis Formula\"\/>\n<w:wrap type=\"square\"\/>\n<\/v:shape><![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><\/p>\n<p>which can be reduced to the classic Wallis formula.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-128062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/pi-Figure2.png\" alt=\"pi-Figure2\" width=\"342\" height=\"86\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat surprised me is that the formula occurred in such a natural way in the calculations, with no circles involved in determining the energy states,\u201d said Hagen, the co-author of the paper. \u201cAnd I am glad I didn\u2019t think about this before Tamar arrived in Rochester, because it would have gone nowhere and we would not have made this discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mathematician Moshe Machover of King\u2019s College London calls the finding a \u201ccunning piece of magic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis derivation of pi is a surprise of the familiar, much like a magician\u2019s trick,\u201d said Machover. \u201cA child who sees a trick done for the first time may be only surprised.
