Description
This lecture covers the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation as a superposition of stationary Schrödinger states, the concept of a particle in a periodic potential, the notion of a band gap, and the distinction between conductors and insulators. The presentation slides also delve into the discretization of the Hamiltonian, the calculation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and the approximation of energy states and eigenfunctions. The lecture concludes with the visualization of the initial wave packet in a periodic potential.
