Key Concepts
- Schrödinger Equation: iℏ∂ψ/∂t = Ĥψ, time-independent: Ĥψ = Eψ
- Wave Function: |ψ|² gives probability density, normalized ∫|ψ|²dτ = 1
- Uncertainty Principle: ΔxΔp ≥ ℏ/2, ΔEΔt ≥ ℏ/2
- Quantum Harmonic Oscillator: E_n = (n + ½)ℏω, quantized energy levels
- Tunneling: Probability T ≈ e^{-2γd} through potential barriers
- Spin: s = ½ for electrons, Pauli exclusion principle for fermions
