The Energy Representation: Superposition Solutions to the TDSE

 

According the the quantum principle of superposition, the most general solution to the TDSE may be written as

  equation126

where tex2html_wrap_inline445 is a pure state of the Hamiltonian with energy tex2html_wrap_inline447 . Any statement which may be shown to be true of a function of this form, must be true for any solution of the TDSE. As you will see, this is a very powerful idea, and it allows many proofs to be done easily.
