definition

ii-th component of the momentum operator pi=iip_i = -i \hbar \partial_i

#momentumOperator

The ii-th component of the momentum operator is a continuous linear map from the space of Schwartz functions S(Space d,C)\mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{C}) to itself. It maps a function ψ\psi to iiψ-i \hbar \partial_i \psi, where ii (in the coefficient) is the imaginary unit, \hbar is the reduced Planck constant, and i\partial_i denotes the partial derivative with respect to the ii-th basis vector of the coordinate space.

definition

Notation for the momentum operator p\mathbf{p}

#term𝐩

The notation p\mathbf{p} represents the momentum operator acting on the space of Schwartz functions S(Space d,C)\mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{C}). Mathematically, this operator corresponds to ii-i\hbar \partial_i (where \hbar is the reduced Planck constant and i\partial_i is the partial derivative with respect to the ii-th coordinate).

definition

Notation for the ii-th component of the momentum operator p[i]\mathbf{p}[i]

#term𝐩[_]

The notation p[i]\mathbf{p}[i] denotes the ii-th component of the momentum operator vector. According to the definition of `momentumOperator`, this corresponds to the operator p^i=ixi\hat{p}_i = -i\hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} acting on the space of Schwartz functions S(Rd,C)\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^d, \mathbb{C}), where \hbar is the reduced Planck constant.

piψ=iiψ\mathbf{p}_i \psi = -i \hbar \partial_i \psi

#momentumOperator_apply_fun

For any Schwartz function ψS(Space d,C)\psi \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{C}), the action of the ii-th component of the momentum operator pi\mathbf{p}_i on ψ\psi is given by the identity piψ=iiψ\mathbf{p}_i \psi = -i \hbar \partial_i \psi, where ii is the imaginary unit, \hbar is the reduced Planck constant, and i\partial_i denotes the partial derivative with respect to the ii-th coordinate.

theorem

(piψ)(x)=iiψ(x)(\mathbf{p}_i \psi)(x) = -i \hbar \partial_i \psi(x)

#momentumOperator_apply

For any Schwartz function ψS(Space d,C)\psi \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{C}) and any point xSpace dx \in \text{Space } d, the ii-th component of the momentum operator pi\mathbf{p}_i applied to ψ\psi and evaluated at xx is given by (piψ)(x)=iiψ(x)(\mathbf{p}_i \psi)(x) = -i \hbar \partial_i \psi(x), where ii is the imaginary unit, \hbar is the reduced Planck constant, and i\partial_i is the partial derivative with respect to the ii-th coordinate.

definition

Momentum-squared operator p2=ipi2\mathbf{p}^2 = \sum_i \mathbf{p}_i^2

#momentumOperatorSqr

The momentum-squared operator p2\mathbf{p}^2 is a continuous linear map from the space of Schwartz functions S(Space d,C)\mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{C}) to itself. It is defined as the sum over the coordinate indices ii of the composition of the ii-th momentum operator pi\mathbf{p}_i with itself, expressed as p2=ipipi\mathbf{p}^2 = \sum_i \mathbf{p}_i \circ \mathbf{p}_i.

definition

Notation p2\mathbf{p}^2 for the momentum-squared operator

#term𝐩²

The notation p2\mathbf{p}^2 denotes the momentum-squared operator `momentumOperatorSqr`, which is a continuous linear operator acting on the space of Schwartz functions S(Space d,C)\mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{C}). It represents the sum of the squares of the momentum operator components, ipi2\sum_i \mathbf{p}_i^2.

theorem

p2=ipi2\mathbf{p}^2 = \sum_i \mathbf{p}_i^2

#momentumOperatorSqr_eq

The momentum-squared operator p2\mathbf{p}^2 acting on the space of Schwartz functions S(Space d,C)\mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{C}) is equal to the sum of the compositions of the ii-th momentum operator components pi\mathbf{p}_i with themselves: p2=i=1dpipi\mathbf{p}^2 = \sum_{i=1}^d \mathbf{p}_i \circ \mathbf{p}_i where pi\mathbf{p}_i is the continuous linear operator defined by pi=ii\mathbf{p}_i = -i \hbar \partial_i.

theorem

Action of the momentum-squared operator p2ψ(x)=ipi(piψ)(x)\mathbf{p}^2 \psi(x) = \sum_i \mathbf{p}_i (\mathbf{p}_i \psi)(x)

#momentumOperatorSqr_apply

For any Schwartz function ψS(Space d,C)\psi \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{C}) and any point xSpace dx \in \text{Space } d, the action of the momentum-squared operator p2\mathbf{p}^2 at xx is given by the sum over the components of the momentum operator applied twice to ψ\psi: p2ψ(x)=ipi(piψ)(x)\mathbf{p}^2 \psi(x) = \sum_{i} \mathbf{p}_i (\mathbf{p}_i \psi)(x) where pi=ii\mathbf{p}_i = -i\hbar \partial_i is the ii-th component of the momentum operator.

definition

ii-th momentum operator pip_i on the Schwartz submodule

#momentumOperatorSchwartz

The ii-th component of the momentum operator, acting as a linear map on the Schwartz submodule of the Hilbert space L2(Space d,C)L^2(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{C}). For a function ψ\psi in this submodule, the operator maps it to iiψ-i\hbar\partial_i\psi, where ii is the imaginary unit, \hbar is the reduced Planck constant, and i\partial_i denotes the partial derivative with respect to the ii-th coordinate.

theorem

The ii-th momentum operator component pip_i is symmetric

#momentumOperatorSchwartz_isSymmetric

The ii-th component of the momentum operator pi=iip_i = -i\hbar \partial_i, acting as a linear operator on the Schwartz submodule of the Hilbert space L2(Space d,C)L^2(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{C}), is symmetric. That is, for any two functions ψ,ϕ\psi, \phi in the Schwartz submodule, the inner product satisfies: piψ,ϕ=ψ,piϕ\langle p_i \psi, \phi \rangle = \langle \psi, p_i \phi \rangle where ii is the imaginary unit, \hbar is the reduced Planck constant, and i\partial_i denotes the partial derivative with respect to the ii-th coordinate.

definition

The ii-th component of the momentum operator pip_i as an unbounded operator

#momentumUnboundedOperator

The ii-th component of the momentum operator pip_i is an unbounded linear operator on the Hilbert space L2(Rd,C)L^2(\mathbb{R}^d, \mathbb{C}). It is defined as the unique unbounded operator associated with the symmetric linear map acting on the dense Schwartz submodule S(Rd,C)\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^d, \mathbb{C}). For a function ψ\psi in this domain, the operator acts as piψ=iiψp_i \psi = -i\hbar\partial_i\psi, where ii is the imaginary unit, \hbar is the reduced Planck constant, and i\partial_i denotes the partial derivative with respect to the ii-th coordinate.
