- TL;DR Summary
- Is my understanding correct : Wave function is a vector and eigen functions are the basis set that span the space.
I saw this statement from the textbook "Quantum physics of atoms, molecules, solids, nuclei, and particles" second edition pg 166. According to the text, is the author saying the solution to the TISE is the eigenfunction and when you multiply the time dependent part, you get the wave function? I always thought that the eigenfunctions are a basis set that forms the wave function
