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.

Possible values of an observable are the eigenvalues of an operator

Ok, so I'm beginning to study quantum mechanics. For reference, the book I'm using is "Konishi-Paffuti/Quantum Mechanics-A New introduction". Now, I get that the quantum state of something (say, a pa …

Time evolution of expectation value of an operator

I'm studying QM from Sakurai, and I have a doubt regarding the proof given that in the case of time independent Hamiltonian the expectation value of an observable doesn't change with time. The argumen …

Rectangular potential barrier

Take the usual rectangular potential barrier, that is: $$V(x)=0 \: \text{if} \: x<0 \: \text{or}\: \: x>a$$ $$V(x)=V_0 \: \text{if} \: 0\leq x \leq a.$$ I've looked at several notes and books and in …
