[edit] Schroedinger mistake

Hi, There's a mistake in SE, SE is a second order PDE and your hamiltonian operator has only first order differential... to cut a long story short. You have:
i \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t}\Psi = - \frac{\hbar^2}{2m} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \Psi + V(x)\Psi
should be: i \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t}\Psi = - \frac{\hbar^2}{2m} \frac{{\partial}^2}{{\partial x}^2} \Psi + V(x)\Psi This error persists over the entire page. Dkronst 17:19, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
