Thus, as long as the potential energy function is constant in time, Schrödinger’s equation is separable and all of our work studying the time-independent equation is valid, as long as we remember that these solutions are actually oscillating in time according to the description given above.
Applications Here youll learn some technical applications of the Schrodinger equation. In fact, if we set A = 1, the temporal part of the wavefunction will have no effect on the probabilities calculated earlier in this chapter. Quantum Mechanics Here classical mechanics is compared with quantum mechanics.
