PHYS 201 - Fundamentals of Physics II
Lecture 21 - Quantum Mechanics III. The fact that the wave function provides the complete description of a particle's location and momentum is emphasized. Measurement collapses the wave function into a spike located at the measured value. The quantization of momentum for a particle on a ring is deduced. (from oyc.yale.edu)
