    Unraveling the Mystery of Quantum Mechanics: Square Wells & Momentum

    Thanks for clearing that up What about this one? http://i.imgur.com/0hq6l.jpg I'm guessing that means 0.5*<a function of position*momentum + momentum*position> isn't the function just <2*x*p>? and then taking half of that would just be <x*p> that's the way I see it, but I feel like I'm wrong

    Unraveling the Mystery of Quantum Mechanics: Square Wells & Momentum

    So do I just have to solve for a general expression of <p^N>?

    Unraveling the Mystery of Quantum Mechanics: Square Wells & Momentum

    Homework Statement Here's an image http://i.imgur.com/oC8Y6.jpg Homework Equations The wave function for an infinite square well, the expectation values and operators for momentum and I guess the normalization condition? I don't really know because I don't understand the question. The...

    Programs Should I Double Major in Physics and Electrical Engineering?

    It's one chemistry course (general chem 2, because engineers only need to take the first), and five physics courses. One is an advanced physics lab (easy enough, I write a pretty decent report and experiments are arguably the most fun part), one is quantum mechanics (probably my favorite...

    Programs Should I Double Major in Physics and Electrical Engineering?

    Well, like I said, if I ever decide to go further it'd be in physics and not in engineering. I have no college debt, so that's not a concern. I know some very talented people who graduated with a bachelor's and couldn't find a job, so most are going for their master's to have better...

    Programs Should I Double Major in Physics and Electrical Engineering?

    To add to that, I'm not 100% sure about getting a master's or PhD at some point or not. If I did, it would most definitely be in physics and not engineering. This would also have to be after at least a couple of years of working with the undergraduate degree(s).

    Programs Should I Double Major in Physics and Electrical Engineering?

    I'm currently in a somewhat unique situation at the moment. I am about to finish my 5th year of my undergrad degree. I was doing computer science for two years when I realized it was just not for me, so I switched over to electrical engineering. Despite the workload, I enjoy the subject. Now...
