--->​Definitions # +
-$\Psi$ is the wave function, $m$ the mass of the particle, $q$ the charge of the particle, $\vec{\sigma}$ the Pauli matrices, $\vec{p}$ the momentum, $\vec A$ the vector potential and $\phi$ the electric scalar potential. ​+
  
-Take note that $\vec \sigma$ is only a convenient short-hand notation for the sums that appear in the equation. For example, $\vec \sigma \vec p = \sigma_1 p_1 + \sigma_2 p_2 + \sigma_3 p_3.    $
