Hamiltonian operator


in: quantum mechanics

is: the differential operator which corresponds to the total energy of a system.   [P10.4, P11.3]

has: the time-independent Schrödinger equation as an eigenvalue equation.   [P10.4, P11.3]

is represented: for a particle of mass moving in one dimension, parallel to the -axis, with a potential energy function by
