| Jan 20, 2016 at 7:57 | comment | added | Adi Ro | Can you specify where you read this? It looks like the writer is trying to make a point... | |
| Jan 20, 2016 at 7:24 | comment | added | Sayan Datta | The author writes "...more commonly, however, each component of the state vector represents a function of position and time, something like this - " and then writes the equation I wrote in the comment above. My question is - If the author is wrong then that's the end of the story. If he is correct then is he trying to represent a linear combination of a number of stationary states? | |
| Jan 20, 2016 at 7:16 | comment | added | Sayan Datta | I came across something like this in an elementary QM book - $\rvert\psi\rangle$ = \begin{pmatrix} 1/6. e^{ikx-i\omega.t}\\ \sqrt2/6. e^{2ikx-2i\omega.t} \\ \sqrt3/6.e^{3ikx-3i\omega.t} \\ . \\ . \\ .\\ \end{pmatrix} | |
| Jan 20, 2016 at 5:58 | comment | added | DanielSank | I've never seen a column vector like that unless the author was talking about a spinor. | |
