Abstract

Some of the conclusions of an improved JWKB method by Eleuch H., Rostovtsev Y. V. and Scully M. O., EPL, 89 (2010) 50004 are clarified. The degree of approximation to exact solutions is quantitatively assessed. The improved JWKB method is also contrasted with the method of comparison equations.

New analytic solution of Schrödinger's equation

Hichem Eleuch, Yuri V. Rostovtsev, Marlan O. Scully

We obtain an analytic solution beyond adiabatic approximation by transferring the 1D Schrödinger equation into the Ricatti equation. Then we show that our solution is more accurate than JWKB approximation. The generalizations of the approach to 3D are suggested, and possible applications of obtained solutions are discussed.

A comparison of solutions to the time dependent Schrödinger equation

Chi-Ming Chang

Various methods providing approximate solutions to the time dependent Schrödinger equation proposed in a previous paper are compared using two examples for which the exact analytic solutions are known. Results show that the new method proposed in the previous paper is better than the traditional method for time dependent parameters.

Comment on ‘‘Optimization of approximate solutions to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation’’

José M. Maidagan, Rubén Darío Piacentini

In a previous work [A. B. Weglein, Phys. Rev. A 17, 1810 (1978)], an optimization method to approximate solutions to the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation proposed by Chang and Rapp was further developed. We show that, if correct in a mathematical sense, it leads to results which are physically inadequate.

Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

Coşkun Deniz

Quantum harmonic oscillator (QHO) involves square law potential (x2) in the Schrodinger equation and is a fundamental problem in quantum mechanics. It can be solved by various conventional methods such as (i) analytical methods where Hermite polynomials are involved, (ii) algebraic methods where ladder operators are involved, and (iii) approximation methods where perturbation, variational, semiclassical, etc. techniques are involved. Here we present the general outcomes of the two conventional semiclassical approximation methods: the JWKB method (named after Jeffreys, Wentzel, Kramers, and Brillouin) and the MAF method (abbreviated for “modified Airy functions”) to solve the QHO in a very good precision. Although JWKB is an approximation method, it interestingly gives the exact solution for the QHO except for the classical turning points (CTPs) where it diverges as typical to the JWKB. As the MAF method, it enables very approximate wave functions to be written in terms of Airy functions without any discontinuity in the entire domain, though, it needs careful treatment since Airy functions exhibit too much oscillatory behavior. Here, we make use of the parity conditions of the QHO to find the exact JWKB and approximate MAF solutions of the QHO within the capability of these methods.

On Solutions of the Killingbeck Potential and Clarifying Comments on a Related Analytical Approach

Fatma Zohra Khaled, Mustafa Moumni, Mokhtar Falek

The work presents analytical solutions to the Schrodinger equation for the Killingbeck potential, a Hybrid model combining harmonic, linear and Coulomb terms, and which is also an approximate model of Yukawa-type potentials. The radial Schrodinger equation is solved by means of the series expansion method, thus yielding the exact expressions of both bound-states solutions and eigen-functions for the systems; these systems include quarkonium and confined hydrogen-like atoms in plasma environments. Furthermore, we offer a constructive commentary on the work of Obu et al. (East Eur. J. Phys. 3, 146-157, 2023), with the aim of clarifying a mathematical misstatement used in their analytical treatment of analogous systems.
