The Time-Independent Schrödinger Equation
For a particle of mass m in a potential V, the time-independent Schrödinger equation is written as
where E is the energy. The Hamiltonian operator is defined to be
Therefore the time-independent Schrödinger equation has the form of an eigenvalue equation
where the eigenvalues of H are the possible ...
