18. Every electron in the universe is the same as any other electron. It is a symmetry of physics, that if you interchange any pair of electrons, the Schrödinger equation is invariant. Consider one pair of electrons which we call electron-1 and electron-2. Define the interchange operator P12 to simple interchange the two electrons.

2. Variational Principle. The energy of a system with wave function ψ is given by where H is the energy operator. The variational principle is a method by which we guess a trial form for the wave function φ, with adjustable parameters, and minimize the resulting energy with respect to the adjustable parameters. This essentially chooses a "best fit" wave function based on our guess. Since the energy of the system with the correct wave function will always be minimum...
