This article summarizes equations in the theory of quantum mechanics.
Wavefunctions
A fundamental physical constant occurring in quantum mechanics is the Planck constant, h.
A common abbreviation is , also known as the reduced Planck constant or Dirac constant.
The general form of wavefunction for a system of particles, each with position ri and z-component of spin sz i.
Sums are over the discrete variable sz, integrals over continuous positions r.
For clarity and brevity, the coordinates are collected into tuples, the indices label the particles (which cannot be done physically, but is mathematically necessary).
Following are general mathematical results, used in calculations.
Equations
Wave–particle duality and time evolution
Non-relativistic time-independent Schrödinger equation
Summarized below are the various forms the Hamiltonian takes, with the corresponding Schrödinger equations and forms of wavefunction solutions.
Notice in the case of one spatial dimension, for one particle, the partial derivative reduces to an ordinary derivative.
Non-relativistic time-dependent Schrödinger equation
Again, summarized below are the various forms the Hamiltonian takes, with the corresponding Schrödinger equations and forms of solutions.
