Beautiful. 10 years later. Scattering parameters and scattering transmission parameters are fundamental to performing quantum computing. I think it's becoming more understood or accepted, how these same scattering phenomenon can model energy reaction and propagation problems, including human behavior.
Q. Can any initial conditions be expressed as a sum of scattering state solutions? A. Given an infinite number of terms the answer is yes. Q. Explain why the bound state is not possible for the delta function barrier? I think is fairly obvious that if the energy barrier exists only on one side the wave has infinite freedom on the other side. If you have two delta-function barriers than we are back to the particle-in-the-box.
Can anyone help me with just solving for the reflection and transmission coefficients? I am unable to do the basic maths to get the answer (my only concern is i am not able to get rid of 'i' in denominator). Can anyone help? thanks
These solutions are free particle solutions (the slight difference of having imaginary numbers in the exponent ). Look back a few lectures. You normalize them by creating a wave packet.
ooh so are you saying that because of the term "i" it is essentially just a complex rotation but in the previous lectures the missing "i" meant the solutions blew up so it is not necessary to cancel it for free particle. and for your second part i don't really understand the notion of wave packet and how that relates to Fourier transforms and how that helps us to normalize them but thanks anyways if i got what you said correctly if not please do feel free to correct me thanks anyways it has been bugging me for a long time!!!
When E0 (scattering), -2mE/ℏ is negative, so the differential equation is ψ'' = -k^2ψ. The solution to such differential equations has i (taking the derivative of e^ikx twice will give you -k^2(e^ikx) and similarly for e^-ikx)

i follow ur lectures nd they r most benificial to me, thanks fr all
Best explanation by far! Great thank you
I know right
Thank you, excellent explanations
I don't get it. Why is not just a free particle when E >0?
The analysis looks for me as the one for a delta barrier rather than for a delta well.
This is indeed an unintuative result of quantum mechanics. He discusses this at 19:27
That's excellent
thank you so much for this.
professor, how come for the general solution, neither of the terms blow up?. One of the coeffs should be zero right?
+timduncankobebryant These terms are representations of Euler's identity. You basically get sin and cos terms instead of exponentials.
For E0 the solutions have i in the exponents, so they just rotate forever in the complex plane.

why is it that in this lecture brant did not cancel the exponential powers which blow up to infinity like in the last lecture

if we expand e^ikx=cos(kx)+i*sin(kx) , the sine and cosine are finite for any value of x.
why do we have iota in the solution of scattering states but not in bound states?

quantically, well = wall!
