Extract

In this paper a quantum-mechanical variational principle is proposed, in which the functional varied is the precision, with which the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is satisfied by the wave functions of the given class. Another distinctive feature of our approach is that the independently varied functions are the time derivatives of the one-particle wave functions, of which the wave function of the system is constructed.
