Operator Q
1. **State the problem:** We want to show that $$Q = \left(\frac{\partial}{\partial t} - \frac{H}{\hbar}\right)\Psi$$ where $\Psi$ is a wavefunction, $H$ is the Hamiltonian operator, and $\hbar$ is the reduced Planck constant.
2. **Recall the Schrödinger equation:** The time-dependent Schrödinger equation is given by
$$i\hbar \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial t} = H \Psi$$
This relates the time derivative of the wavefunction to the Hamiltonian acting on the wavefunction.
3. **Rewrite the Schrödinger equation:** Divide both sides by $i\hbar$:
$$\frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial t} = \frac{1}{i\hbar} H \Psi$$
4. **Express $Q$ in terms of $\Psi$:** Substitute the above into the expression for $Q$:
$$Q = \left(\frac{\partial}{\partial t} - \frac{H}{\hbar}\right) \Psi = \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial t} - \frac{H}{\hbar} \Psi$$
5. **Use the Schrödinger equation substitution:** Replace $\frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial t}$ with $\frac{1}{i\hbar} H \Psi$:
$$Q = \frac{1}{i\hbar} H \Psi - \frac{H}{\hbar} \Psi = \left(\frac{1}{i\hbar} - \frac{1}{\hbar}\right) H \Psi$$
6. **Simplify the coefficient:**
$$\frac{1}{i\hbar} - \frac{1}{\hbar} = \frac{1 - i}{i\hbar}$$
7. **Interpretation:** The expression $Q$ is a linear combination of $H \Psi$ with complex coefficients. The exact form depends on the context, but this shows how $Q$ relates to the time derivative and Hamiltonian acting on $\Psi$.
**Final answer:**
$$Q = \left(\frac{\partial}{\partial t} - \frac{H}{\hbar}\right) \Psi = \left(\frac{1}{i\hbar} - \frac{1}{\hbar}\right) H \Psi$$
