Time Evolution MIT Physics Lecture 6 Schrodinger | Quantum Physics 1 | Adam Adams

Professor Adams starts off this talk by briefly reviewing the postulates of quantum mechanics that have been covered thus far. The Schrodinger equation's characteristics and methods of solution are then covered by him. Teacher: Allan Adams

Time evolution, which is relevant to systems with internal states (also known as stateful systems), is the change in state brought about by the passage of time. Time does not have to be a continuous parameter in this formulation; it can be discrete or even finite. The laws of classical mechanics control the time evolution of a group of stiff bodies in classical physics. These principles, in their most basic form, describe the link between the acceleration provided by Newton's equations of motion and the forces acting on the bodies. Similar but more abstract expressions of these ideas can be found in Lagrangian or Hamiltonian mechanics.
