QM0.13: Wave Packets

In quantum mechanics, we need a mathematical scheme that can embody both particle and wave features of a particle. Following up from a short talk of stationary states, we finish up with a description of the process of getting a wave packet - a localized plane wave which can represent a particle.

You just saved me! I love your teaching style! Keep it up! :)

very fine , put I need asolved problem in polar coordinates operator

Great vids. You need to slow down a bit.

PHysics is indeed the shit!

u can not prove that because its all based on definitions. 1, 2 , 3, 4, .... and so on are defined in such a way the distance between two sequently numbers is 1. If u would like you can change the order and create a new definition but it wouldn't do anyone any good and therefore u wouldn't be taken seriously. The next definition is of the + operator which only takes u from one number to another. By the way there are only 2 mathematical operations, addition and multiplication

What're you talking about? Physics is the shit! You should rather be sorry.

Oooh. I think my boyfriend was studying that last week.

I'm so glad my major isn't in physics.
