This article summarizes equations in the theory of quantum mechanics.
A fundamental physical constant occurring in quantum mechanics is the Planck constant, h. A common abbreviation is , also known as the reduced Planck constant or Dirac constant.
The general form of wavefunction for a system of particles, each with position r<sub>i</sub> and z-component of spin s<sub>z i</sub>. Sums are over the discrete variable s<sub>z</sub>, integrals over continuous positions r.
For clarity and brevity, the coordinates are collected into tuples, the indices label the particles (which cannot be done physically, but is mathematically necessary). Following are general mathematical results, used in calculations.
Summarized below are the various forms the Hamiltonian takes, with the corresponding Schrödinger equations and forms of wavefunction solutions. Notice in the case of one spatial dimension, for one particle, the partial derivative reduces to an ordinary derivative.
Again, summarized below are the various forms the Hamiltonian takes, with the corresponding Schrödinger equations and forms of solutions.
In what follows, B is an applied external magnetic field and the quantum numbers above are used.
