= Conservation of the square amplitude in the Schrodinger equation

Proof that the probability 1 is conserved by the time evolution:

It can be derived directly from the <Schrödinger equation>.

  That proof also mentions that if the potential `V` is not real, then there is no conservation of probability! Therefore the potential \i[must] be real valued!
