What is potential and its significance in Quantum Mechanics?

[sciboudy]

what is potential mean Generally
? and what it mean in Quantum mechanics ?

 

[HallsofIvy]

"Potential" by itself doesn't actually mean anything- but it is often used as shorthand for "potential energy". Do you know what that is?

 

[sciboudy]

explain please

 

[Whovian]

Again, potential means potential energy.

 

[sciboudy]

okay in the shroodinger Equation when we say that the potential is infinite
and potential is zero ? is that mean ? the potential energy of particle infinite " the particle is stop to move "

at V =0 "it's mean particle free to move don't have potential Energy ?
