This lecture delves into the qualitative characteristics of quantum mechanical bound states, examining the dispersion of Gaussian wave packets. It thoroughly solves the finite potential well problem, a crucial model for bound states.
MIT 8.04 Quantum Physics I, Spring 2013
In this lecture, Prof. Adams discusses some qualitative features of quantum mechanical bound states. He then solves the problem of a particle in a finite potential well as the last example of bound state in the course.
