A(x) is a real-space vector

Ψ(x) is a wave function
|

|
|
A acts on Ψ
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some Ψ, when acted upon by A, result in a multiple of the original Ψ. These Ψ are called eigenstates and may be denoted Ψₐ. In algebraic terms,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A Ψₐ(x) = a Ψₐ(x), where a is complex.
|
|||
|
|
|

|

Ψₐ is called an eigenstate of Α corresponding to the eigenvalue a.

If A is a Hermitian operator corresponding to some physical dynamical variable:
