Apr 13, 2016 · The wave function is the solution to the Schrödinger equation, given your experimental situation. With a classical system and Newton's equation, you would obtain a …

Oct 25, 2022 · Now you might find all this a little unsatisfactory because it still doesn't tell you what the wave function means or that its square modulus is a probability density. But it at least …

Oct 23, 2019 · The wave function is the probability amplitude (see this post) which is not the same thing as a probability density (also called a distribution, the thing you normally encounter in …

And this is a symmetric configuration for the spin part of the wave function. So this is coherent. But, for an other physical problem, with fermions,you may have to minimize another kind of …

Jun 2, 2015 · The wave function is a function of spacetime that returns a complex number. We interpret this as meaning that the wavefunction requires two components to describe it.

Sep 29, 2016 · You can also say that the wavefunction of a photon is defined as long as the photon is not emitted or absorbed. The wavefunction of a single photons is used in single …

Usually you get the wave function at time t=0 and the evolution of the wave function is governed by the Schrodinger equation.

You should compare this to a pressure and pressure density or to mass and mass density. The relation between the quantum wave function and probability density is given by the Born rule …

Sep 22, 2020 · One is defined by the quadratures as in your answer, the other is physical space arising from the plane wave dependence of the creation operators when transferring to …

Aug 3, 2017 · The wave function of an electron does not signify anything in itself. The only useful thing we can get from it is the probability density (probability per unit volume), which is the …
