English: A harmonic oscillator in classical mechanics (A-B) and quantum mechanics (C-H). In (A-B), a ball, attached to a spring (gray line), oscillates back and forth. In (C-H), wavefunction solutions to the Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation are shown for the same potential. The horizontal axis is position, the vertical axis is the real part (blue) or imaginary part (red) of the wavefunction. (C,D,E,F) are stationary states (energy eigenstates), which come from solutions to the Time-Independent Schrodinger Equation. (G-H) are non-stationary states, solutions to the Time-Dependent but not Time-Independent Schrödinger Equation. (G) is a randomly-generated superposition of the four states (E-F). H is a "coherent state" ("Glauber state") which somewhat resembles the classical state B.
العربية: مذبذب توافقي في الميكانيكا الكلاسيكية (A-B) وميكانيكا الكم (C-H). في (A-B)، كرة متصلة بنابض (خط رمادي)، تتأرجح ذهابًا وإيابًا. في (C-H)، يعرض حلول الدالة الموجية لمعادلة شرودنغر المعتمدة على الوقت لنفس الإمكانات. المحور الأفقي هو الموضع، والمحور العمودي هو الجزء الحقيقي (الأزرق) أو الجزء التخيلي (الأحمر) من دالة الموجة. (C ،D ،E ،F) هي حالات ثابتة (حالات الطاقة الذاتية)، والتي تأتي من حلول معادلة شرودنغر المستقلة عن الزمن. (G-H) هي حالات غير ثابتة، وهي حلول لمعادلة شرودنغر التي تعتمد على الوقت ولكنها ليست مستقلة عن الوقت. (G) هو تراكب أنشىء عشوائيًا للحالات الأربع (E-F). H هي "حالة متماسكة" ("حالة جلوبر") تشبه إلى حد ما الحالة الكلاسيكية B. |
