3D Schrödinger equation

Up till now we have been studying (very( artificial systems, where space is one dimensional. Of course the real world is three dimensional, and even the Schrödinger equation will have to take this into account. So how do we go about doing this?

 11.1 The momentum operator as a vector
 11.2 Spherical coordinates
 11.3 Solutions independent of θ and φ
 11.4 The hydrogen atom
 11.5 Now where does the probability peak?
 11.6 Spherical harmonics
 11.7 General solutions
