1. Quantum One

3. Postulates of Schrödinger's Wave Mechanics

4. In the first lecture we talked about how the rules governing a given form of mechanics could be stated in terms of a set of postulates describing
How to specify the State
The Nature of Observables
The Measurement Process
Evolution
We demonstrated this for several classical forms of mechanics, and asserted that there were several features of Quantum Mechanics that were very different from their classical counterparts.
The five essential new aspects of Quantum Mechanics we identified as:
The superposition principle
Eigenstates and eigenvalues
The principle of spectral decomposition
Probabilities as the squared magnitude of amplitudes, and
Collapse of the dynamical state during measurement

7. The goal of this lecture is to see how these ideas were incorporated in the first essentially correct version of Quantum Mechanics, which was developed by Schrödinger.
Thus, as we did for some of the different forms of classical mechanics, in this lecture we want to clearly, and concisely state:
