Linear Operators, Eigenfunctions & The Schrödinger Equation
Connects observable measurements to eigenvalues of Hermitian operators and derives the energy operator Ĥ = p̂²/2m + V(x).
MIT 8.04 Quantum Physics I, Spring 2013
In this lecture, Prof. Zwiebach gives a mathematical preliminary on operators. He then introduces postulates of quantum mechanics concerning observables and measurement. The last part of the lecture is devoted to the origins of the Schrödinger equation.
