Quantum Mechanics

in One Dimension

We shall describe the basic features of wave mechanics and its

application to simple systems. The relevant concepts for particles
confined to motion along a straight line (the x-axis) are developed
in the present chapter.

The Born Interpretation

contains within it all the information that can be

known about the particle.

That basic premise forms the cornerstone of our investigation:

One of our objectives will be to discover how information may

be extracted from the wavefunction; the other, to learn how to
obtain this wavefunction for a given system.

Sharp and fuzzy variables

Every measurement of this quantity performed on the

SHARP system described by yields the same value.
