  • Summary

  • Welcome to an advanced discussion of quantum mechanics at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Here I will discuss many aspects of quantum mechanics, that may be quickly glossed over in a traditional university course. The notes for the podcast are available in pdf format on the companion website: https://qmemcm.github.io/letsTalkQM/

    Ehrenfest's Theorem and Discussion of Operators
    Jul 26 2020
    In this second episode, I build upon the equations for expectation values from the previous (first) episode to derive Ehrenfest's theorem and its generalization. I also discuss some basic properties of operators and commutators.

  • Uncertainty Principle and Minimum Uncertainty Wave Packet

    Uncertainty Principle and Minimum Uncertainty Wave Packet
    Aug 31 2020
    In the third episode, I derive the famous Heisenberg's uncertainty for position and momentum. Using this, I then derive what is known as a minimum uncertainty wave packet. We explore together a wide variety of mathematics, and in particular, demonstrate applications involving expectation value calculations.
