Quantum Harmonic Oscillator: Theory and Example Problem #1

The video tutorial by Kevin Tolkoff covers the basics of the quantum harmonic oscillator model, explaining its concept using linear molecules like diatomic chlorine and carbon dioxide. It details the components of the wave function, including the normalization constant, Hermite polynomial, and Gaussian term. The tutorial guides viewers on constructing wave functions for different energy levels, explaining the role of alpha and energy calculations. An example problem is provided to illustrate constructing a wave function for n=2.
