On the Expansion Problem of the Wavefunctions of a Stationary State for a Particle in One-Dimensinal Potentional Well with Infinitely High Walls

Liu Deng

The expansion problem of the wavefunctions of a stationary state for a particle in one dimensional potential well with infinitely high walls in studied. We found, in the interval ( 0≤x≤a ), that the wavefunctions of a stationary state can be expressed as the superposition of two plane waves, which traveling in the opposite directions, when the energy quantum number n is even. However, it can not be done when n is odd, because they are not the period functions in this interval. If only if the width of the well tends to infinity, or n is very large, and the expanding coefficients on the base of continuous spectrum become to the superposition of two symmetrical delta functions, all of the stationary wavefunctions can be expanded as the superposition of two plane waves.

Investigating student understanding of the stationary state wavefunction for a system of identical particles

Christof Keebaugh, Emily Marshman, Chandralekha Singh

We discuss an investigation of student difficulties with concepts related to the many-particle stationary state wavefunction for a system of non-interacting fermions or bosons in cases in which the many-particle stationary state wavefunction can be written as the product of the spatial and spin parts.The investigation was carried out in advanced quantum mechanics courses by administering free-response and multiple-choice questions and conducting individual interviews with students.We find that students share many common difficulties related to these concepts.Many students struggled to write a many-particle stationary state wavefunction consistent with the symmetrization requirements for the system, i.e., a completely antisymmetric wavefunction for a system of fermions or a completely symmetric wavefunction for a system of bosons.We discuss the common difficulties pertaining to these concepts that can be used as a guide to develop research-validated learning tools.
