This can be seen from the definition of the inner product in terms of wavefunctions: $\langle\Psi_2|\Psi_1\rangle = \int dx\langle\Psi_2|x\rangle\langle x|\Psi_1\rangle = \int dx \Psi_2^*(x)\Psi_1(x) = \left(\int dx \Psi_1^*(x)\Psi_2(x)\right)^* = \left(\int dx \langle\Psi_1|x\rangle\langle x|\Psi_2\rangle\right)^* = \langle\Psi_1|\Psi_2\rangle^*$

First, the inner product can give you the "length square" of the wavefunction: $$\left\langle \psi|\psi\right\rangle =\int\psi^{*}(x)\psi(x)dx =\int|\psi(x)|^2dx$$ similar to the $\mathbf{\vec{v}}\cdot\mathbf{\vec{v}}=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}$ , so you can normalize your wavefunction by the condition $\left\langle \psi|\psi\right\rangle =1$.
2. Mai 2020 · 2 Answers. Sorted by: 3. As in any inner product you can take it as a projection of the state vector |ψa in the direction of H|ψb . The latter is just another state vector, for example H|ψb = |ψb′ , then ψa|ψb′ is just a projection of one in the direction of the other.
The inner product between two wave functions is a measure of the overlap between the corresponding physical states and is used in the foundational probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics, the Born rule, relating transition probabilities to inner products.
interpretation of quantum states. The inner product of (x) with itself, k k2 = Z +1 1 (x) (x)dx: (2.6) is a positive number whose (positive) square root k k is called the norm of (x). The integral must be less than in nity for a wave function to be a member of H. Thus exp( ax2) for a>0 is a member of H, whereas exp(ax2) is not.

17. Nov. 2022 · 2.1 Inner Product of Wavefunction. An arbitrary one-dimensional wavefunction \(\Psi (x)\) can be considered as a vector in a functional space. When states are described as vectors, first step is to define an inner product of vectors within the vector space. With two wavefunctions \(\Psi \) and \(\Phi \), inner product of two ...
1) The wavefunction must be square-integrable and normalized to \ (1\), so that particles exist and the probability of finding the particle anywhere in the entire space is 100%: \ [\int _ { -\infty }^ { \infty } { { \Psi }^ {\ast} (x)\Psi (x) }\, dx = \int_ {-\infty}^ {\infty} P (x)\, dx = 1.\]
