What is the concept of wave packets in quantum mechanics?
What is the concept of wave packets in quantum mechanics? I want to understand the concepts of that concept. I tried to give a step by step explanation on this in the book by David Aaronson, a physicist, and I can’t find the exact answer on the internet. Let’s start with a single photon. We use the well known quantum mechanical Green function, or wave function. We can see that the Green function does indeed give information on the wave function of the physical system, such as electrons or photons. Let’s try equation to understand equations for wave properties at point A, where A is, still is, say, where I’ll show something for electrons one time at a time. And I show the photon. The photon is given two packets…
