It depends on from what side you multiplied |psi1> on your expression. This is similar to multiplying of columns and rows in matrix algebra :smile: For example, |psi1> *| <psi2|A = lamda2<psi2| => |psi1><psi2|A = lamda2|psi1><psi2| ; <psi2|A = lamda2<psi2| | *|psi1>...

Yes, this is a good thing, and it was also in my head too. By the way, if we have a closed volume with atoms inside, and the system is in thermal equilibrium, the atomic velocities inside should be distributed according Maxwell-Boltsmann distribution... therefore it looks like after releasing...

I have a surface (paraffin) and a vapor of atoms (alkali). When atom get the wall, it is sticked for some time, exchange it energy and momentum with wall and then release. I want to know the atomic velocity distribution (both in directions orthogonal and parallel to the surface) after atom...
