Quantum Mechanics
Fundamental Equations
- Schrödinger Equation: $$ i\hbar \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial t} = \hat{H} \psi $$
- Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: $$ \Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{\hbar}{2} $$
Quantum States and Operators
- Wavefunction: $$ \Psi(x, t) $$
- Expectation Value: $$ \langle A \rangle = \int \Psi^* \hat{A} \Psi dx $$
- Operator: $$ \hat{A} $$
Quantum Mechanics in Different Representations
- Position Representation: $$ \langle x | \psi \rangle = \psi(x) $$
- Momentum Representation: $$ \langle p | \psi \rangle = \phi(p) $$
Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetism
- Quantum Electrodynamics (QED): Describes the interaction between light and matter.
- Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD): Describes the strong force between quarks.
