⟨x|ˆp|ψ⟩=∫dp ⟨x|ˆp|p⟩⟨p|ψ⟩=∫dp p⟨x|p⟩⟨p|ψ⟩=∫dp (−iℏ∂∂x)⟨x|p⟩⟨p|ψ⟩
Please explain how we can go from second step to third step? In the second step, the p is an eigenvalue which has been replaced by position representation of the momentum operator in the third step. How can we replace a number by an operator?
