Quantum mechanics describes the microscopic properties of nature in a regime where classical mechanics no longer applies. It explains phenomena such as the wave-particle duality, quantization of energy, and the uncertainty principle and is generally used in single-body systems. Use the quantum-field-theory tag for the theory of many-body quantum-mechanical systems.

Choosing approximate eigenfunctions

In the variational approach of estimating the ground state energy of a system we choose an approximate eigenfunction dependent on certain parameters and then minimize the expectation value of the ener …

Time evolution of stationary states [closed]

Let's say we have a state $ \phi=\sum_i c_i \phi_i $ where the $ \phi_i $ denote energy eigen vectors with non degenerate eigen values. Now if a measurement of the energy is done this state collapse …
