Wavefunction Properties, Normalization, and Expectation Values

From the creator

We are beginning to get a glimpse of quantum mechanical principles from a rigorous, mathematical perspective. Now that we know how to use operators in conjunction with wavefunctions, let's get a better sense of what wavefunctions actually are, and how their superpositions can describe the parameters of a quantum particle. Along with this, we will learn about bra-ket notation, how to normalize wavefunctions, and also calculate both inner products and expectation values, all of which will help us get a better perspective on quantum systems.
