Superpositions of Eigenstates
• Today, I will show you several quantum
systems and tell you the eigenstates.
• We will explore together what you can learn
once you know these eigenstates.

Early Quantum Mechanics
• Spin & Quantum Measurement
– Successive Stern-Gerlach Measurements
• 1-D Waves
– cf. classical waves on string
– 1-d Schrödinger—particle-in-a-box
• Central Forces
– cf. classical orbits
– 3-d Schrödinger—the hydrogen atom
