The concept of the elegant work introduced by Lévai [J. Phys. A 22, 689 (1989)] is extended for the solutions of the Schrödinger equation with more realistic other potentials used in different disciplines of physics. The connection between the present model and the other alternative algebraic technique in the literature is discussed.

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.

Perturbation Theory

Shabnam Siddiqui

In the previous chapters, we have shown how to solve the Schrodinger equation for several systems as a particle in an infinite and finite potential well, scattering, harmonic oscillator, and hydrogen atom. For all these systems, we were able to solve Schrodinger's equation exactly. However, there are complicated potentials for which Schrodinger's equation cannot be solved exactly. For such situations, we resort to approximation methods for finding approximate solutions to the Schrodinger equation. In this chapter, we discuss several approximate methods for solving Schrodinger's equation.
