Duality between Poisson and Schrödinger equations in three dimensions

Abstract

A duality between an electrostatic problem in a three dimensional world and a quantum mechanical problem in a one dimensional world which allows one to obtain the ground state solution of the Schrödinger equation by using electrostatic results is generalized to three dimensions. Here, it is demonstrated that the same transformation technique is also applicable to the s-wave Schrödinger equation in three dimensions for central potentials. This approach leads to a general relationship between the electrostatic potential and the s-wave function and the electric energy density to the quantum mechanical energy.

Relation between Poisson and Schrödinger equations

Gabriel González

A correspondence between the Poisson and Schrödinger equations is obtained through a simple transformation. This analogy between the two equations applies only to the restricted problem of quantum potentials consisting of a combination of attractive and repulsive delta functions in one dimension. The correspondence enables us to use elementary electrostatic results to find the ground state energy and wave function of the associated quantum problem. In particular, the result shows that it is possible to trap a single electron in a one dimensional ionic crystal modeled by repulsive and attractive delta functions.

Conformal Transformation of the Schrödinger Equation for Central Potential Problems in Three-Dimensions

Ducharme, Robert J.

In a recent paper, it has been shown the Schrödinger equation for the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator can be simplified through the use of an isometric conformal transformation. Here, it is demonstrated that the same transformation technique is also applicable to the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom. This approach has two interesting features. Firstly, it eliminates potential fields from the Schrödinger equation. The Coulomb and harmonic binding terms are instead represented as imaginary parts of complex time. Secondly, the method leads to a general relationship between potential energy and ground state energy that encompasses both the hydrogen atom and the harmonic oscillator as special cases.

General solution of the Schrödinger Equation with Potential Field Quantization and Some Applications

Hasan Hüseyin Erbil

A simple procedure has been found for the general solution of the time-independent Schrödinger Equation (SE) with the help of quantization of potential area in one dimension without making any approximation.Energy values are not dependent on wave functions. So, to find the energy values, it is enough to find the classic turning points of the potential function. Two different solutions were obtained, namely, symmetric and anti symmetric in bound states. These normalized wave functions are always periodic. It is enough to take the integral of the square root of the potential energy function to find the normalized wave functions. If these calculations cannot be made analytically, they should then be performed by numerical methods. The SE has been solved for a particle in many one-dimension and the spherical symmetric central potential well, the relativistic theory of Dirac as examples.

Exact general solution of the Schrödinger equation by modified Cole-Hopf transformation

Alan Clark Longfellow

The Schrödinger equation is a linear partial differential equation that describes the temporal evolution of the state of a quantum mechanical system. One of the pillars of quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger equation has been used to describe a wide variety of phenomena such as wave-particle duality, atomic orbitals, quantum oscillations, and even some fluid mechanics problems. Despite its established importance in the development of quantum mechanics, a solution of the Schrödinger equation for an arbitrary distribution of quantum mechanical potential or for an arbitrary number of space dimensions remains unknown. This work seeks to rectify this theoretical roadblock by providing an analytical solution through a recasting of the well-known Cole-Hopf transformation which is used to linearize a broad class of PDEs of which the Schrödinger equation becomes a member after an earlier change of variables. These two successive transformations render the general wave function proportional to the solution of a forced heat equation, allowing an explicit analytical solution applicable to any system in any number of space dimensions. Two practical applications to deriving the explicit wave functions of multielectronic atoms and to the forced Burgers equation of fluid mechanics are discussed, enabling greater mathematical insight into quantum entanglement and nonlinear fluid systems.

One was seen to be very fit.

Exact solutions for the inverse problem of the time-independent Schrödinger equation

Bhavika Bhalgamiya, M. A. Novotny

We introduce an “inverse method” for solving the time-independent Schrödinger equation. Rather than derive wave functions that are solutions for a given external potential V(r→), we ask the inverse question of which V(r→) will have a given probability density function P(r→). Several examples of ground states in one, two, and three dimensions are presented for both well-known and more exotic probability density functions in position space.
