Study Notes
Schrödinger's Equation
Time-dependent Schrödinger equation
- Describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes with time.
- The equation is: $i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\Psi(x,t) = \left[ -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} + V(x,t) \right] \Psi(x,t)$
- $\Psi(x,t)$ is the wave function of the particle.
- $V(x,t)$ is the potential energy function.
- $\hbar$ is the reduced Planck constant.
- $i$ is the imaginary unit.
Time-independent Schrödinger equation
- Describes the stationary states of a quantum system.
- The equation is: $E\psi(x) = \left[ -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + V(x) \right] \psi(x)$
- $E$ is the energy of the particle.
- $\psi(x)$ is the time-independent wave function.
- $V(x)$ is the potential energy function.
Key Concepts
Wave-particle duality
- Particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like characteristics.
Superposition
- A particle has the ability to exist in multiple states/positions at once.
Uncertainty principle
- States that there is a limit to how accurately certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, can be known simultaneously.
- Represented by: $\Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{\hbar}{2}$
Quantum entanglement
- Occurs when two or more particles are linked.
- The state of one particle instantly influences the state of the other(s), regardless of distance.
Applications
- Quantum computing utilizes superposition and entanglement for computations.
- Quantum cryptography uses quantum mechanics for secure encryption and information transfer.
- Materials science uses quantum mechanics to design new materials.
- Medical imaging relies on quantum mechanics to develop high resolution, high sensitivity imaging.
Dirac Notation
Ket vector
- Denoted as $|\psi\rangle$.
- Represents a quantum state in a complex vector space (Hilbert space).
Bra vector
- Denoted as $\langle\psi|$.
- Represents the dual vector corresponding to $|\psi\rangle$.
Inner product
- Denoted as $\langle\phi|\psi\rangle$.
- Represents the probability amplitude for the state $|\psi\rangle$ to be in the state $|\phi\rangle$.
Outer product
- Denoted as $|\psi\rangle\langle\phi|$.
- Represents an operator that projects any state onto the state $|\psi\rangle$, weighted by the overlap with $|\phi\rangle$.
