mfb said:The Schroedinger equation tells you how the wave function changes with time. I'm not sure what you mean by "timeless". It's time symmetric (in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics). It doesn't matter if you consider a particle in a box, or 1027 particles, or the band structure in a solid.
jake jot said:Time symmetric is not the same as our macroscopic time. So an electron wave function in a solid treads upon the imaginary as well as future and past domains, linking and coupling all these regions with one another. Information can pass from one of these domains into the other. Is this correct?
I have no idea what you are trying to say here, and I agree with Drakkith.jake jot said:Time symmetric is not the same as our macroscopic time.

jake jot said:What part of the above is wrong (any or all). Kindly correct which part is
wrong and why. So if it is wrong. Then can find other more exotic processes that can explain reality better.
To answer that question you would first have to phrase it more clearly so others can understand what you mean.jake jot said:Why is it wrong?

Energy bands in solid state refer to the range of energies that electrons in a solid material can have. These bands are formed by the overlapping of energy levels of individual atoms in the material.
The concept of timelessness in energy bands refers to the fact that the energy levels of electrons in a solid material do not change over time. This is because the energy bands are a fundamental property of the material and are not affected by external factors such as time.
Energy bands play a crucial role in understanding the behavior of electrons in solid materials. They determine the electrical and thermal properties of materials and are essential for the functioning of electronic devices.
Yes, energy bands can be manipulated by applying external forces such as an electric field or changing the temperature of the material. This can alter the energy levels of electrons and affect the properties of the material.
Energy bands in solid state are studied using various experimental techniques such as X-ray crystallography, electron spectroscopy, and electrical measurements. Theoretical models and simulations are also used to understand the behavior of energy bands in different materials.
