I was recently given a problem that asked me to show that the classical velocity of a particle is given by:
[tex] v = \frac{d \langle x\rangle}{dt} = \frac{1}{m} \langle({\bf p}-q{\bf A})\rangle[/tex]
The expectation value of the time derivative of x is given by:
[tex]\langle v\rangle = \int{\Psi ^{*} (x \frac{d}{dt}) \Psi[/tex]
So then I just work this out, and what do I do after that? How do I get from here to the form the problem is asking for?
