Expectation Value and Bound States in Quantum Mechanics - Lecture 22

This lecture explores advanced quantum mechanics concepts, focusing on expectation value calculations and bound states. Learn how to perform detailed expectation value calculations through a comprehensive two-part explanation, followed by an in-depth examination of the quantum harmonic oscillator. The nearly two-hour session concludes with a demonstration of coupled oscillators and their quantum mechanical bound state analogs, providing practical visualization of these abstract quantum principles. Part of the "Physics 4C in 30 Lectures" series from CoA Physics, this is the 22nd installment in the comprehensive quantum physics sequence.
