Learning objective
Explain the physical meaning and the standard conditions of the wave function.
Learn to work with the basic operators (coordinate, momentum, energy, angular momentum).
Write the time-dependent and stationary Schrödinger equations and understand their meaning.
Derive the quantization of energy in an infinitely deep potential well.
Expected outcomes

Can determine the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of an operator.
Can write the Hamiltonian operator and the Schrödinger equation for a given potential.
Calculates the energy of a particle in an infinitely deep well, $E_n = n^2h^2/(8mL^2)$.
