Expectation values
Expectation values are calculated as ⟨ψi|O|ψj⟩. For an n electron wave-function this represents the 3n dimensional integral over the position coordinates of all electrons: ⟨ψi|O|ψj⟩=∫r1∫r2...∫rnψ∗i(→r1,→r1,...→rn)O(→r1,→r1,...→rn)ψj(→r1,→r1,...→rn)dr1dr2...drn In Quanty the complex conjugates of the first wavefunction is automatically assumed and expectation values are implemented as multiplication of wavefunctions and operators.
- Example.Quanty
-- expectation values of operators are -- calculated by multiplying a wavefunction times -- an operator times a wavefunction val = psi1 * Opp * psi2
