Description

One of the fundamental postulates of Quantum Mechanics on the time evolution of quantum states.

Defining Formula: $\mathrm{i}\hslash \frac{\partial }{\partial t}|\psi (t)⟩=\hat{H}|\psi (t)⟩$

$H$ represents Hamiltonian operator

$\hslash$ represents reduced Planck constant

$\psi (t)$ represents quantum state vector (dynamic)

$t$ represents time

$\mathrm{i}$ represents imaginary unit
