Energy Eigenstates




:\hat{H}\Psi_n=E_n\Psi_n

:where \hat{H} is the time-independent Hamiltonian operator,

:\Psi is the nth energy Eigenvector (also known as eigenfunction or wavefunction),

:and E_n is the nth energy eigenvalue.

In the case of a system with a time-independent Hamiltonian operator, this set of eigenvalues are also called ''stationary states'', because they are time-independent.
