This is called a free particle since it has no forces acting on it. We consider the one-dimensional case, with motion only in the x-direction. We discuss that the wavefunction can be a linear combination of eigenfunctions and wavepackets can be constructed of eigenstates to generate a localized particle picture that a single eigenstate does not posess.

In quantum mechanics, it means a region of uniform potential, usually set to zero in the region of interest since potential can be arbitrarily set to zero at any point (or surface in three dimensions) in space. Here, we obtain the Schrödinger equation for the free particle in one dimension.

    We start by describing a free particle: a particle that is not under the influence of a potential.
