Quantum Mechanics HW-1

1. 1 and 2 are solutions of Schro dinger Equation. Prove that c 1 1 c 2 2 is also a

solution.
i c
2. Simple Harmonic ground state: x, t Ae cm /2x 2 e 2 m t with potential Vx, t 12 cx 2 .
Prove it satisfies Schro dinger Equation.
3. Show that if x has mean momentum P , e iP 0 x x has mean momentum P 0 P .
4. Convince yourself that if c , where c is a constant (real or complex) and is real, the

probability current density S vanishes.

5. Consider
p 1 3/2 e i p r / .
2
Find S and p and compare the relation between them to electromagnetic equation j v , v
being the velocity.
