... • Ground state: The sate having the lowest allowed energy. • Excited states: En = n2E1. • E = 0 is not an allowed state since ψ(x) = 0. The particle can never be at rest. Zero energy also means an infinite wavelength. Note that the energy levels increase as n2, and that their separation increases as ...

Harmonic Oscillator Physics
... This is interesting, but we must keep in mind a number of caveats: 1. the classical density is time-dependent, and we have chosen to average over the “natural” timescale in the system, if no such scale presented itself, we would be out of luck making these comparisons, 2. Our classical temporal aver ...

Lecture 9 Introduction to Statistical Mechanics
... In the language of linear algebra, the value of E in the Schrödinger equation is called the eigenvalue, or correct value, of the equation. The wave function that correctly solves the Schrödinger equation is called the eigenstate or eigenfunction. A macroscopic example of energy eigenstates is the ...

Coherent Control
... Quantum mechanics, though a probabilistic theory, gives a ‘deterministic’ answer to the question of how the present determines the future. In essence, in order to predict future probabilities, we need to (numerically) propagate the time-dependent Schrödinger equation from the present to the future. ...
