1) Which of the following operator(s) is/are Hermitian? a) id/dy? b) d/dy2 c) id/dy You may assume that the functions on which these operators operate are appropriately well behaved at infinity. (Hint #1: .. P dy = f. y pudy where the integral hudu = Uv - Sudv. Hint #2: Use y = e) 2) In each case below show (in the space provided directly) that F(y) is an eigen- function of the operator A and find the...

2. Schrodinger equation In quantum mechanics, physical quantities cor- respond to Hermitian operators. In particular, the total energy of the system corresponds to the Hamiltonian operator H, which is a hermitian operator The 'state of the system' is a time dependent vector in an inner product space, l(t)). The state of the system obeys the Schrodinger equation We assume that there are no time-varying external forces on the system, so that the Hamiltonian operator H is not itself time-dependent a)...
