What is the Schrödinger Equation? A basic introduction to Quantum Mechanics



Physics Explained

This video provides a basic introduction to the Schrödinger equation by exploring how it can be used to perform simple quantum mechanical calculations. After explaining the basic structure of the equation, the infinite square well potential is used as a case study. The separation of variables approach is used to solve the Schrödinger equation and Born’s probabilistic interpretation of the wave-function is used to calculate the expectation value of the position of a particle in a box. Stationary states are discussed, and it is shown that a linear superposition of energy eigenstates leads to non-stationary states with uncertain energy. The oscillation frequency of a simple superposition of states is calculated and comparisons with radiation emission from atoms is discussed.

  1. I am teaching myself Quantum mechanics and I found your video super valuable. Thank you for making such invaluable work. It is indeed a lot of effort to make it easy to understand a layman like me.

  2. I'm just engineering student, I try to understand this with zero knowledge, the only thing I familiar is wave. But I still enjoy and act I know it. lol

  3. Combining special relativity with quantum mechanics then gave us the existence of anti matter…which was later observed in cloud chambers…😁👍

  4. Man your channel is wayyyy under rated. But you'll get the deserved fame at last without any doubt. I enjoy your videos so much, you did an absolutely fabulous work. THANK YOU ! Take care 🙂

  5. Wow! This was about a half of my introductory QM course in 1 1/2 hours. It is so clear, and so amazing that a) the universe works this way and b) people discovered these equations!

  6. Amazing. Such a beautiful and comprehensive explanation. But what is even more amazing is neither the word 'Fourier' nor the word 'Hilbert' needed to be said! Not even once!

  7. Just want to say thank you for making this course. You make me understand my one semester QM introductory course much much better 😊

  8. This presentation is a jewel in YouTube's discissing academic content, IMHO. Excelent work! Certainly looking forward to seeing the next one.
