Quantum LHO 19 : Expectation of Kinetic Energy Operator
Channel: Adam Beatty

In this video I derive the operator for kinetic energy for the 1d quantum linear harmonic oscillator. I calculate the expectation value of KE and see that it satisfies the equipartition theorem (half of the total energy is kinetic). I've previously shown that the PE also satisfies this theorem.
