PX262 - C1b - postulate 1
postulate 1
for every dynamical system, there exists a wavefunction that is a continuous, square-integrable, single-valued function of the parameters of the system and of time, and from which all possible predictions about the physical properties of the system can be obtained
-
the parameters:
- in the examples: coordinates, time
- could be other things needed to describe the system
-
notation:
will be used a for the general solution of the time-dependent schrödinger equation will be used a for the general solution of the time-independent schrödinger equation will be used to denote the 'eigenfunctions' will be used to denote the general solution of TISE, which does not have to be an eigenfunction
