    Normalize function - quantum chemistry

    Normalize function f(r) = Nexp{-alpha*r} Where alpha is positive const and r is a vector I was just wondering if the fact that we have a vector value in our equation changes anything about the solution

    MHB Is Normalization Necessary for Chi-Square and K-S Tests?

    Say two digits numbers are given like 10,20,30,55,95,85,12,13,52...etc. Is it necessary to normalize them to numbers between 0 to 1? i.e 0.10 for 10, 0.20 for 20 and so on? I've read this to be the case for K-S test. But I'm not sure for chi-square test. I'm not 100% sure on this information as...

    Python How to properly normalize convolution of Gaussian and Lorentzian

    I'd like to plot the normalized convolution of a Gaussian with a Lorentzian (see the definitions in terms of full width half maximum (fwhm) in the attached image). Here is my attempt, but the print statements with np.trapz() do not return 1 in both cases, but rather ##\approx##0.2. I'd also like...

    Normalize the Gaussian wave packet

    For normalizing this wave function, I began by finding the complex conjugate of psi and then multiplied it with the original psi. Now what I am getting is A^2 integral exp(2cx^2-4ax) dx = 1 Now I am not getting how to solve this exponential term. I tried by completing the square method but it is...

    Normalize the eigenfunction of the momentum operator

    I am just solving the equation $$\frac{h}{2\pi i}\frac{\partial F}{\partial x} = pF$$, finding $$F = e^{\frac{ipx2\pi }{h}}C_{1}$$, and$$ \int_{-\infty }^{\infty }C_{1}^2 = 1$$, which gives me $$C_{1} = \frac{1}{(2\pi)^{1/2} }$$, so i am getting the answer without the h- in the denominator...

    I How do you normalize this wave function?

    I have a basic question in elementary quantum mechanics: Consider the Hamiltonian $$H = -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\partial^2_x - V_0 \delta(x),$$ where ##\delta(x)## is the Dirac function. The eigen wave functions can have an odd or even parity under inversion. Amongst the even-parity wave functions...

    Why normalize equations when solving numerically?

    In most textbooks I've read and programs I've work with, differential equations are normalized (made dimensionless) before being solved with some numerical method. What is the point of this? It's seems to be a lot of work for no benefice. So, after a lot of derivations, you end up with some...

    How to normalize wave functions in QFT? such as \lambda \phi 4 theory?

    In quantum mechanics, most wave functions are normalized with \int |\phi|^2 dx^3 =1. But I did not see any field in the quantum field theory is normalized. I understand they maybe just plain waves and does not need to be normalized. But in some cases, if we do not expand the field as plain wave...
