About the `Position` class¶

The WaveBlocks Project

class WaveBlocksND.Position[source]¶

This class implements the computation of the action of the position operator $x$ .

apply_position(wavepacket, *, component=None)[source]¶

Compute the effect of the position operator $x$ on the basis functions $\phi(x)$ of a component $\Phi_i$ of a wavepacket $\Psi$ .

Parameters:	wavepacket – The wavepacket $\Psi$ containing $\Phi_i$ . component (Integer or `None`.) – The index $i$ of the component $\Phi_i$ .
Returns:	Extended basis shape $\mathfrak{\dot{K}}$ and new coefficients $c^\prime$ .
