1. 01

   Perturbation theory and approximation checks

   Write H=H0+λV and expand observables or states about a solvable reference problem. Small λ is useful only relative to relevant spectral scales.

   Scattering, currents and probability conservation

   Scattering models compare incoming and outgoing waves far from a localized interaction. Boundary conditions identify which waves are physically incident.

   Variational bounds and trial states

   For a normalized trial state in the Hamiltonian domain, the expectation of a Hamiltonian bounded below is at least its ground energy.
