Expectation Values
• Probability Density at r
• Prob of finding the system in a region d3r about r
• Prob of finding the system anywhere

Where do we get the wavefunctions from?
• Physics tools– Newton’s equation of motion– Conservation of Energy– Cons of Momentum & Ang Momentum
The most powerful and easy to use technique is Cons NRG.

Techniques for solving the Schro Eqn.
• Analytically– Solve the DiffyQ to obtain solns
• Numerically– Do the DiffyQ integrations with code
• Creation-Annihilation Operators– Pattern matching techniques derived from 1D SHO.

Analytic Techniques
• Simple Cases– Free particle (ER 6.2)– Infinite square well (ER 6.8)
• Continuous Potentials– 1-D Simple Harmonic Oscillator (ER 6.9, Table 6.1, and App I)– 3-D Attractive Coulomb (ER 7.2-6, Table 7.2)– 3-D Simple Harmonic Oscillator
• Discontinuous Potentials– Step Functions (ER 6.3-7)– Barriers (ER6.3-7)– Finite Square Well (ER App H)

Inadequacy of Techniques
• Modern measurements require greater accuracy in model predictions.– Analytic– Numerical– Creation-Annihilation (SHO, Coul)
• More Refined Potential Energy Fn: V()– Time-Independent Perturbation Theory
• Changes in the System with Time– Time-Dependent Perturbation Theory
