About this document

Time Evolution in Quantum Mechanics by Himanshu Ranjan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This lecture discusses time evolution in quantum mechanics. It begins with a recap of the previous lecture where it was shown that the Schrodinger equation can be separated into two equations for the time-independent and time-dependent parts of the wave function when the potential is independent of time. It then derives an important formula showing that the time derivative of the expectation value of an operator A is equal to (i/ħ) times the average value of the commutator of the Hamiltonian H and the opera
