There was a really interesting question, from a person in the back row on the right, on Tuesday
regarding the relationship between the energy, \(E_1\), which is both a parameter in the time-independent Schrodinger equation and the eigenvalue of the energy operator when applied to the ground state wave function. For the finite square well, and in most cases, \(\psi_1\) is an energy eigenstate, but not an eigenstate of kinetic energy. This video explores the relationship between the energy, \(E_1\) and the expectation values of the kinetic and potential energy.

Midterm 2 solutions
Here are solutions to midterm 2. I see that I did not write it in the solutions, but it is helpful for sp2 type integrals to recall that \(\...

I am thinking that the HW this week is not so excessively long as last week's assignment. This week's HW has a problem involving a t...

For tomorrow's class we will start a new topic, which is free particle propagation and scattering. This involves non-local states.
