Constructing the time-dependent solution
Each spatial solutions, the station-ary states, will have a specific en-ergy and there are an infinite num-ber of such solutions.

Completeness
Because this set of functions iscomplete, an arbitrary functionf (x) may be constructed as asum of the stationary wavefunc-tions.
The coefficient cm may be ob-tained by taking the inner prod-uct with ψ∗m.
