Explain the Hamiltonian operator

Question

Sudheesh Singanamalla · Answer

In quantum mechanics , hamiltonian operator i.e H denotes the total energy of the system.

H operator along with the schrodinger wave equation gets the energy function with respect to time.

$\begin{displaymath}\bgroup\color{black} H={p^2\over 2m} + V(x) \egroup\end{displaymath}$

$\bgroup\color{black}$\displaystyle H^{(op)}=-{\hbar^2\over 2m}{\partial^2\over \partial x^2}+V(x)$\egroup$

Since the potential energy just depends on 'x', its easy to use. Angular momentum operators will later be simply computed from position and momentum operators
