A puzzle in quantum dynamics

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The textbook treatment in that the wave function of a dynamical system is expanded in an eigenfunction series is investigated. With help of an elementary example and some mathematical theorems, it is revealed that in terms of solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation the treatment involves in divergence trouble . The root reason behind the trouble is finally analyzed.
