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

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

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...

Bump because it's been a while

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...

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...

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).

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...
