wave function
mathematical description of the quantum state of a system; complex-valued probability amplitude, and the probabilities for the possible results of measurements made on the system can be derived from it
wave packet
short "burst" or "envelope" of restricted wave action that travels as a unit
normalizable wave function
wavefunction whose L² norm is finite
Bloch wave
The wavefunction for a particle in a periodically-repeating environment, most commonly an electron in a crystal
Coulomb wave function
solution to Schrödinger equation with Coulomb potential
