Quantum States

The quantum state of a system is described by a complex function Ψ, which depends on the coordinate x and on time

QUANTUM STATES

The quantum state of a system is described by a complex function Ψ, which depends on the coordinate x and on time

 i.e., Quantum state = Ψ(x,t)

The wave function encodes all the information about the system. We know |Ψ(x,t)|2 dx is the probability of finding the position of the particles and yields a result in the interval x→x+dx.

The total probability of finding the particles somewhere along the real axis must be unity, thus we can write

 |Ψ|2 = ∫ Ψ*Ψ dx = ∫Ψ(x,t)|2 dx = 1

In quantum mechanics, a different notation called Dirac notation is used to represent quantum states. The inner product of two vectors u and v is denoted by

        <u|v>

The left part <u| is called as bra and the right part |v> is called as ket. Thus in the direct notation, also known as the bra‒ket notation, an inner product is denoted by <> bracket.
