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).
