The phase is also needed to uniquely describe the quantum state, but how does one find this phase experimentally? The question of ‘phase retrieval’ has a long experimental and theoretical history in classical ...

REVIEW OF WAVE MECHANICS
... The wave function oscillates in space when the total energy E > V(r), the local potential energy. However when E < V(r) solutions of the TISE require the wave function to decay or grow exponentially. Clearly if the particle is to remain bound inside its well, its wave function must only decay into t ...
