Hello, I need help with a problem for my Quantum Mechanics class. Please explain as if I am learning for the first time. I want to be able to understand and do problems like this on my own. Thank you in advance for your help! The infinite square well has solutions that are very familiar to us from previous physics classes. However, in this class we learn that a quantum state of the system can be in a superposition state...
2. The spectral decomposition theorem states that the eigenstates of any Hermitian matrix form an orthonormal basis for the linear space. Let us consider a real 3D space where a vector is denoted by a 3x1 column vector. Consider the symmetric matrix B-1 1 1 Show that the vectors 1,0, and1are eigenvectors of B, and find 0 their eigenvalues. Notice that these vectors are not orthogonal.
