  2. Wave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function

    Square integrable complex valued functions on the interval [0, 2π]. The set {e int /2π, n ∈ Z} is a Hilbert space basis, i.e. a maximal orthonormal set. The Fourier transform takes functions in the above space to elements of l 2 (Z), the space of square summable functions Z → C. The latter space is a Hilbert space and the Fourier ...

  3. Delta potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_potential

    Source: [1] The potential splits the space in two parts (x < 0 and x > 0).In each of these parts the potential is zero, and the Schrödinger equation reduces to =; this is a linear differential equation with constant coefficients, whose solutions are linear combinations of e ikx and e −ikx, where the wave number k is related to the energy by =.

  4. Probability amplitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_amplitude

    This leads to a constraint that α 2 + β 2 = 1; more generally the sum of the squared moduli of the probability amplitudes of all the possible states is equal to one. If to understand "all the possible states" as an orthonormal basis , that makes sense in the discrete case, then this condition is the same as the norm-1 condition explained above .

  5. Bump function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_function

    The graph of the bump function (,) (), where = (+) / and () = / {| | <}. In mathematics , a bump function (also called a test function ) is a function f : R n → R {\displaystyle f:\mathbb {R} ^{n}\to \mathbb {R} } on a Euclidean space R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} which is both smooth (in the sense of having continuous derivatives of ...

  6. Schrödinger equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger_equation

    The probability density could be negative, which is physically unviable. This was fixed by Dirac by taking the so-called square-root of the Klein-Gordon operator and in turn introducing Dirac matrices. In a modern context, the Klein-Gordon equation describes spin-less particles, while the Dirac equation describes spin-1/2 particles.

  7. Psi function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psi_function

    Psi function can refer, in mathematics, to the ordinal collapsing function ψ ( α ) {\displaystyle \psi (\alpha )} the Dedekind psi function ψ ( n ) {\displaystyle \psi (n)}

  8. First quantization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_quantization

    The fact that probability densities are integrable and normalizable to unity imply that the solutions to the Schrodinger equation must be square integrable. The vector space of infinite sequences, whose square summed up is a convergent series, is known as ℓ 2 {\displaystyle \ell ^{2}} (pronounced "little ell two").

  9. Pressure coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_coefficient

    This pressure distribution is simply the pressure at all points around an airfoil. Typically, graphs of these distributions are drawn so that negative numbers are higher on the graph, as the for the upper surface of the airfoil will usually be farther below zero and will hence be the top line on the graph.
