Ehrenfest Theorem - The Bridge Between Quantum and Classical Physics

Explore the bridge between quantum and classical physics in this 40-minute lecture on the Ehrenfest Theorem. Delve into the connection between the Schrödinger Equation and Newton's Laws, understanding how quantum mechanical observables follow classical equations of motion on average. Examine the time evolution of expectation values for momentum and position, and discover how the theorem formalizes the transition from quantum to classical behavior in macroscopic systems. Gain insights into the average behavior of quantum particles and their resemblance to classical mechanics, building upon foundational knowledge of the Schrödinger Equation and expectation values.
