May 27, 2022 at 15:43 | comment | added | march | "Most things like to occupy regions of lower potential." You need to be careful about statements like this, because they usually only apply to thermodynamic systems, or, at least, systems where there is some sort of dissipation. The only way a system can "settle" into the state of lowest energy is if it can lose energy. However, especially in a first QM course, we rarely consider dissipative systems and instead consider systems where the energy is conserved. Then, the system can't be at the bottom of the well, because that's not the energy the system has. | |
