Hi, in Bohm's "Quantum Theory" David Bohm writes:
for n-particles the wavefunction is:\begin{equation}
G (_{N}) = Ae^{ip \eta /\hbar} + B e^{-ip \eta /\hbar}
\end{equation}
But this is the same as a wavefunction in one dimension (x) given in Atkins and Friedman "Molecular Quantum Mechanics", just with a different variable:\begin{equation}
\psi (x) = Ae^{ip x /\hbar} + B e^{-ip x /\hbar}
\end{equation}
Unless I Have typed something wrong here, how does this come about? ##\eta## particles equal dimension x?
