Position operator
text:
In quantum mechanics, the position operator is the operator that corresponds to the position observable of a particle. When the position operator is considered with a wide enough domain, its eigenvalues are the possible position vectors of the particle. In one dimension, if by the symbol | x ⟩ we denote the unitary eigenvector of the position operator corresponding to the eigenvalue x, then, | x ⟩ represents the state of the particle in which we know with certainty to find the particle itself at
