1 Shrödinger Equation

2

3

4 Time independent Schrödinger eqn.

5 Solution in constant potential

6 Eigenvalue equation : Eigenfunction : Eigenvalue

7 Hermitian operators have real eigenvalues
Eigenfunctions of momentum operator

8 Eigenfunctions of Hamiltonian H
Etc.

9 Etc.

10 If Orthogonality Normalisation

11

12 Assuming orthonormal eigenfunctions
Expectation or average value of energy Probability of obtaining eigenvalue Ei

13 Example: Normalised

14 Expectation value of an operator
for a state

15 Particle in a box of size L

16

17 2 L L 2 L L

18 2 L L 2 L L

19 Find the probability that a particle
trapped in one dimensional box of length L can be found between 0.45L and 0.55L for the ground state.

20

21 V -V One dimensional Potential well Infinite
~ same as particle in a box V L -V

22 Finite depth well Finite V L -V

23 One dimensional Potential step
V V E < V x

24 Quantum mechanical tunneling
One dimensional Potential barrier Quantum mechanical tunneling E < V V x

25 Quantum mechanical tunneling
V V x More the barrier height less the transmission probability More the barrier width less the transmission probability
