Expectatio value (part of McQuarrie s postulate #4) A = ψ *Aψ ˆ dx ψ *ψ dx Note that the deomiator is eeded whe the wavefuctio is ot ormalized to oe Hψ ˆ = E ψ ψ is a eigefuctio of H ˆ that belogs to the specific eergy eigevalue, E (part of McQuarrie s postulate #5) Let s look at two of the simplest quatum mechaical problems They are also very importat because they appear repeatedly 1 Free particle: V(x) = V 0 (costat potetial) d Ĥ = + V 0 m dx Ĥψ = Eψ, move V 0 to RHS d ψ = (E V 0 )ψ m dx d m(e V 0 ) ψ = ψ dx Note that if E > V 0, the o the RHS we eed ψ multiplied by a egative umber Therefore ψ must cotai complex expoetials This is the physically reasoable situatio But if E < V 0 (how is such a thig possible?), the o the RHS we eed ψ multiplied by a positive umber ψ must cotai real expoetials e + kx diverges to as x + uphysical [but useful for x fiite (tuelig)] e kx diverges to as x So, whe E > V 0, we fid ψ(x) by tryig ψ = ae +ikx + be ikx (two liearly idepedet terms) revised 9/3/13 9:3 AM

6 561 Fall 013 Lecture #5 page 6 a a + b is fractio of the observatios of the system i ψ which have p > 0 b is fractio of the observatios of the system a + b i ψ which have p < 0 END OF NON-LECTURE Free particle: it is possible to specify mometum sharply, but if we do that we will fid that the particle must be delocalized over all space For a free particle, ψ*(x)ψ(x)dx is delocalized over all space If we have chose oly oe value of k, ψ ψ ca be oscillatory, but it must be positive everywhere Oscillatios occur whe e ikx is added to e ikx NON-LECTURE ikx ψ = ae + be ikx ψ ψ = a + b + Re[ab*e ikx ], but if a,b are real ψ * ψ = a + b + ab coskx costat oscillatory Note that ψ ψ 0 everywhere For x where cos bx has its maximum egative value, cos kx = 1, the ψ ψ = (a b) Thus ψ ψ 0 for all x because (a b) 0 if a,b are real Sometimes it is difficult to uderstad the quatum mechaical free particle wavefuctio (because it is ot ormalized to 1 over a fiite regio of space) The particle i a box is the problem that we ca most easily uderstad completely This is where we begi to become comfortable with some of the mysteries of Quatum Mechaics * isight ito electroic absorptio spectra of cojugated molecules * derivatio of the ideal gas law i 56! * very easy itegrals Particle i a box, of legth a, with ifiitely high walls ifiite box pˆ Ĥ = + V(x) m V(x) = 0 0 x a very coveiet because dxψ *V(x)ψ = 0 V(x) = x < 0, x > a (covice yourself of this!) revised 9/3/13 9:3 AM
