Quantum Mechanics (Physics)

Recall cards on nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The wave function and the Born interpretation |Psi|^2 as a probability density, normalization, expectation values, and the position and momentum operators. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle in its position-momentum and energy-time forms. The time-dependent and time-independent Schrodinger equations, stationary states, and separation of variables. The quantum particle in a box with quantized energies E_n = n^2 pi^2 h-bar^2/(2mL^2) and zero-point energy. The quantum harmonic oscillator with evenly spaced levels E_n = (n + 1/2) h-bar omega. Quantum tunneling through potential barriers, the transmission probability, and applications from alpha decay to the scanning tunneling microscope.
