In quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, the propagator is a function that specifies the probability amplitude for a particle to travel from one place to another in a given period of time, or to travel with a certain energy and momentum.

The phenomenology of quantum physics arose roughly between 1895 and 1915, and for the 10 to 15 years before the development of quantum mechanics (around 1925) physicists continued to think of quantum theory within the confines of what is now called classical physics, and in particular within the same mathematical structures.
In quantum mechanics, given a projection-valued measure of a measurable space to the space of continuous endomorphisms upon a Hilbert space , the projective space P ( H ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {P} (H)} of the Hilbert space H {\displaystyle H} is interpreted as the set of possible ( normalizable ) states φ {\displaystyle \varphi } of a quantum ...
[5]: 74 The constant is the imaginary unit, and is the reduced Planck constant, which has units of action (energy multiplied by time). [5]: 10 Complex plot of a wave function that satisfies the nonrelativistic free Schrödinger equation with V = 0. For more details see wave packet
Dr Angela Tabiri wants more African girls and women from less privileged backgrounds to study maths.
The quantum harmonic oscillator is the quantum-mechanical analog of the classical harmonic oscillator. Because an arbitrary smooth potential can usually be approximated as a harmonic potential at the vicinity of a stable equilibrium point , it is one of the most important model systems in quantum mechanics.
