1. Postulates Postulate 1: A physical state is represented by a wavefunction. The probablility to find the particle at within is. Postulate 2: Physical quantities are represented by Hermitian operators acting on wavefunctions. Postulate 3: The evolution of a wavefunction is given by the Schrödinger equation. Postulate 4: The measurement of a quantity (operator A) can only give an eigenvalue a n of A. Postulate 5: The probability to get a n is. After the measurement, the wavefunction collapes to (corresponding eigenfunction). Postulate 6: N identical particles. The wavefunctions are either symmentrical (bosons) or antisymmetrical (fermions).
