Quantum Physics: Schrödinger Equation

This lecture introduces the Schrödinger equation, a fundamental postulate in quantum physics that describes the behavior of particles in space. The equation quantifies the energy of confined particles and stationary states, providing insights into the wave function and energy values. It explores the implications of the equation for free particles, boundary conditions, and infinite potential wells. The lecture delves into the Hamiltonian operator, eigenstates, and the relationship between total energy and potential energy. It also raises questions about measuring physical quantities and the evolution of wave functions in time, hinting at the broader applications of the theory.
