Glossary of elementary quantum mechanics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a glossary for the terminology often encountered in undergraduate quantum mechanics courses.
Cautions:
- Different authors may have different definitions for the same term.
- The discussions are restricted to Schrödinger picture and non-relativistic quantum mechanics.
- Notation:
- - position eigenstate
- - wave function of the state of the system
- - total wave function of a system
- - wave function of a system (maybe a particle)
- - wave function of a particle in position representation, equal to
