Key Equations
$$-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\frac{d^2\psi}{dx^2} = E\psi$$
$$\psi(x) = Ae^{ikx} + Be^{-ikx} \quad \text{(plane waves)}$$
$$\Psi(x,t) = Ae^{i(kx - \omega t)} + Be^{-i(kx + \omega t)}$$
$$v_{\text{phase}} = \frac{\omega}{k} = \frac{\hbar k}{2m}$$
Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
