Quantum Harmonic Oscillator: Calculating Zero-Point Energy and Energy Spacing

The video tutorial explains the quantum harmonic oscillator model, focusing on the wave function and energy eigenvalue. It covers the calculation of zero point energy using the Schrodinger equation and discusses the energy spacing between different energy levels. The tutorial emphasizes that the zero point energy is not zero and that the energy spacing between levels is constant, increasing by one factor of hbar Omega. The video aims to provide intuition on these concepts, with a follow-up video planned for numerical calculations.
