Key Equations

$$\lambda(x) = \frac{2\pi\hbar}{p(x)} \ll L$$
$$\psi(x) \approx \frac{C}{\sqrt{|p(x)|}}\exp\left(\pm\frac{1}{\hbar}\int^x |p(x')|dx'\right)$$
$$\oint p(x)dx = 2\pi\hbar\left(n + \frac{1}{2}\right), \quad n = 0, 1, 2, \ldots$$
$$\left|\frac{d\lambda}{dx}\right| \ll 1$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
