(b) Without evaluating any integrals, explain why ⟨px⟩ = 0. (c) Derive an expression for ⟨x2⟩ (the necessary integrals will be found in the Resource section). (d) For a particle in a box the energy is given by En = n2h2/8mL2 and, because the potential energy is zero, all of this energy is kinetic. Use this observation and, without evaluating any integrals, explain why <p2x> = n2h2/4L2.

Techniques and applications of quantum theory

Quantum theory, often known as quantum physics, is the foundation of modern physics and encompasses the nature and behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and molecular levels. As the exact nature and behavior of atomic and subatomic particles are impossible to determine, the laws of classical physics do not apply to this discipline. As a result, quantum field theory is primarily based on assumptions and probabilities.
