In quantum mechanics, expectation values and operators are essential concepts for describing particle behavior. The position operator (X) and momentum operator (P) represent measurable quantities. The expectation value of position, ⟨x⟩, is the average position calculated from the probability density function |ψ(x)|^2. Similarly, the expectation value of momentum, ⟨p⟩, is computed using the probability density function and the momentum operator, often expressed as -iħ(d/dx). These operators and their expectation values provide a probabilistic framework for understanding the behavior of particles, with the uncertainty principle highlighting the inherent limitations in simultaneously measuring position and momentum precisely.

In this video I describe basics of probability theory, derive the expectation values of position, momentum, kinetic energy and total energy. I also discuss the operators corresponding to these quantities.

Best video lectures of quantum mechanics on YouTube ever🥹 finally jaise mujhe padna tha vaise padhane wale koi teacher mil gye...ur love and passion for physics every day motivates me to understand physics deeply.i can't imagine how much hardwork and time you have to put for making these videos.May Krishna ji bless you sir 😃u are an inspiration for me

Man these lectures are work of art
I can't imagine how much work goes in creating these lectures they are some of the best lectures on this subject out there thank you so much 😍😍😍😍😍

Sir, you have summarized so nicely, the heave of sigh at the end of the lecture was so appropriate. Jokes apart, I don't think anybody has explained this weird stuff so artistically, I am amazed at your effort of making us to understand. No wonder you have chosen the name of channel as "Love of Physics" . Please post many more videos.

Consider a particle in a infinite square well potential of with two nanometer calculate the expectation value of particle's position in the ground state.

Great Work, this is very well done. Is it possible to take some real time use of this? Like how somebody uses this to find average postion and use that average position for a real application.

Why is <v>=d/dt <x>, but not <dx/dt>? Are they same?
