Zusammenfassung
There is compelling evidence that, when continuous spectrum is present, the
natural mathematical setting for Quantum Mechanics is the rigged Hilbert space
rather than just the Hilbert space. In particular, Dirac's bra-ket formalism is
fully implemented by the rigged Hilbert space rather than just by the Hilbert
space. In this paper, we provide a pedestrian introduction to the role the
rigged Hilbert space plays in Quantum Mechanics, by way of a simple, exactly
solvable example. The procedure will be constructive and based on a recent
publication. We also provide a thorough discussion on the physical significance
of the rigged Hilbert space.
