Lecture

Variational Principles in Quantum Mechanics

Description

This lecture covers sudden, adiabatic, and variational approximations in quantum mechanics, focusing on the principles behind the time-dependent variational approach and the Dirac-Frenkel variational principle. The instructor discusses the application of these principles to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, emphasizing the conservation of energy and the optimal solutions obtained through variational methods.
