[NOTES/QM-09003] Solution of TIme Dependent Schrodinger Equation


A scheme to solve the time dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation \begin{equation} \label{eq01} i\hbar \dd{t}\ket{\psi} = \hat{H} \ket{\psi} \end{equation} is described. The final solution will be presented in the form, see \eqref{eq14} \begin{equation} \ket{\psi t} = U(t, t_0) \ket{\psi t_0} \label{eq16} \end{equation}where
\begin{equation}\label{EQ16A} U(t, t_0) \ket{\psi t_0} = \exp\Big(\frac{-i H(t-t_0)}{\hbar}\Big)\end{equation}


[NOTES/QM-09002] Time Variation of Average Values

Assuming time development of states to be given by  \[i\hbar \dd[\ket{\psi, t}]{t} = H \ket{\psi t}, \] an equation for time variation of average value of a dynamical variable is derived. Classical correspondence  is used to identify the generator of time evolution with Hamiltonian. A dynamical variable not depending explicitly on time is a constant of motion if it commutes with the Hamiltonian.

[NOTES/QM-09001] Unitary Operator for Time Evolution

That assumption that the superposition principle be preserved under time evolution leads to unitary nature of the  them evolution operator. The state vector satisfies  differential equation, the Schrodinger equation, with Hamiltonian as the generator of time evolution.

[ARA-G001-PATH ]All Resources About Green Function

Green function is defined and a simple example is presented.
Three methods of computing  Green functions  presented are:

  1. Direct solution of differential equation
  2. Using Fourier transform
  3. Eigenfunction expansion method
  4. Method of images

Examples include Green function for Poisson equation, Helmholtz equation, Heat equation, Wave Equation  and Schrodinger equation.
Applications include boundary value problems in electrostatics,  potentials of  moving point charges.

[NOTES/QM-13004] General Properties of Motion in One Dimension

A discussion of nature of energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are discussed for general potentials in one dimension. General conditions when to expect the energy levels to be degenerate, continuous or form bands are given. Also the behaviour of eigenfunctions under parity and for also for large distances etc. are discussed.
