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...
