Psi in the Equation

[Matlynn Giles 2E]

For the Heisenberg Equation do we use psi or psi squared?

[Peter DePaul 1E]

I believe for our purposes we don't have to use or . If we do have to use one of the two though I'm gonna guess it would be , because is for the probability density of finding an electron in that location so I don't see how that would be used in the equation.

For the Heisenberg equation, we haven't used psi I believe. Psi is used in Schrodinger's equation and represents the wave function. Psi squared represents the probability density of an electron. That tells us where the electron is most likely to be found in the space around the nucleus. If you want to know more about this equation, I found the information here useful.

I don't think we do use it in Heisenberg. I only remember seeing it for Schrodinger where psi is the wave function

I'm pretty sure Heisenberg relates to the particle property and psi relates to the wave property, so I don't think they would overlap.
