Quantum model (closed system)

quantum dynamics of a closed system, i.e., a system that is not interacting with its environment

continuous-space model, continuous-time model, mathematical model

Description

A famous example is Schrödinger's cat, but only as long as the box is not opened!

Contained entities

initial condition for quantum density	$\rho (t=0)={\rho }_0$	initial condition
	$\rho$ represents quantum density operator
	$t$ represents time
	${\rho }_0$ represents initial value of quantum density
initial condition for quantum state	$\psi (t=0)={\psi }_0$	initial condition
	$\psi$ represents quantum state
	$t$ represents time
	${\psi }_0$ represents initial value of quantum state
time-dependent Schrödinger equation	$\mathrm{i}\hslash \frac{\partial }{\partial t}|\psi (t)⟩=\hat{H}|\psi (t)⟩$
	$H$ represents Hamiltonian operator
	$\hslash$ represents reduced Planck constant
	$\psi (t)$ represents quantum state vector (dynamic)
	$t$ represents time
	$\mathrm{i}$ represents imaginary unit

Computational tasks
