Hi.

I tried to solve some problem that i should get probability density with which eigenstate of

momentum is chosen after momentum measurement by using <\varphi_{k}|\Psi>

I faced some stuck integral problem such as \int_{k_o}^0\frac{sin^{2}(2x)}{2x^{2}}dx

I transformed sin^{2}(2x) = \frac{1 - cos(2x)}{2} so i obtained \int_{k_o}^0\frac{1-cos(2x)}{2x^{2}}dx but i don't know next step because, \int_{k_o}^0\frac{1}{x^2}dx go up to infinity,diverse.

i tried to do partial integral such as \int udv = uv - \int vdu but encountered same problem.

How can i overcome this singular point problem? i convinced that \int_{k_o}^0\frac{sin^{2}(2x)}{2x^{2}}dx

should be solved to convegence because graphic of \frac{sin^{2}(2x)}{2x^{2}}.

Please help me and give me an answer.

i think you can try to write the cos as a series form.
P.S. the third formula in your statements seems...
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In her YouTube video Bell’s Theorem Experiments on Entangled Photons, Dr. Fugate shows how polarization-entangled photons violate Bell’s inequality. In this Insight, I will use quantum information theory to explain why such entangled photon-polarization qubits violate the version of Bell’s inequality due to John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony, and Richard Holt known as the...
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I asked a question related to a table levitating but I am going to try to be specific about my question after one of the forum mentors stated I should make my question more specific (although I'm still not sure why one couldn't have asked if a table levitating is possible according to physics). Specifically, I am interested in knowing how much justification we have for an extreme low probability thermal fluctuation that results in a "miraculous" event compared to, say, a dice roll. Does a...
