Tensor Product of Two States


Let F1(x1) and F2(x2) be solutions to the Schrodinger equation for the Hamiltonians H1(x1) and H2(x2)  respectively, corresponding to two separate independent parts of system respectively. I.e.

Define the following


Take the derivative of Y with respect to time and multiply by

Multiply H by Y to get

Find the difference between Eq. (5) and Eq. (6)

which reduces to

Therefore Y = F1(x1)F2(x2) is a solution of Schrodinger's equation corresponding to the Hamiltonian H =  H1(x1) + H2(x2).
