Analytical Solutions of the Schrödinger Equation. Ground State Energies and Wave Functions

Abstract

It is shown that there are two generalizations of some well-known analytically solvable problems leading to exact analytical solutions of the Schrödinger equation for the ground state and a few low lying excited states. In this paper, the ground state energies and wave functions are discussed.

Analytical Solutions of Two-Dimensional Schrödinger Equation

Vladimír Tichý

The goal of the dissertation is to find new method of solving two-dimensional Schrödinger equation in such cases, when the separation of the variables is not applicable. The results are applied to the two-dimensional Schrödinger equation with the potentials of the form of the quartic polynomial, of the sextic polynomial and of the quartic Morse potential. For these cases, the analytical formulae for the ground state wave functions and the corresponding energies have been found. For the specific class of the potentials of the form of the quartic polynomial, analytical formula for one of the excited states and for the corresponding energy have been found.

Analytic Energies and Wave Functions of Two-Dimensional Schrödinger Equation: Two-Dimensional Fourth-Order Polynomial Potential

Vladimír Tichý, Lubomír Skála

Direct method for searching analytic solutions of the two-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a two-dimensional fourth-order polynomial potential is presented. Analytic formulas for the energies and wave functions of the ground state and excited state are found. Obtained results can not be in general reduced to two one-dimensional cases.

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.

A Simple General Solution of the Radial Schrodinger Equation for Spherically Symmetric Potentials

Hasan Hüseyin Erbil

By using a simple procedure the general solution of the time-independent radial Schrodinger Equation for spherical symmetric potentials was made without making any approximation. The wave functions are always periodic. It appears two diffucilties: one of them is the solution of the equation E= U(r), where E and U(r) are the total an effective potential energies, respectively, and the other is the calculation of the integral of the square root of U(r). If analytical calculations are not possible, one must apply numerical methods. To find the energy wave function of the ground state, there is no need for the calculation of this integral, it is sufficient to find the classical turning points, that is to solve the equation E=U(r).

Method for calculating analytical solutions of the Schrödinger equation: Anharmonic oscillators and generalized Morse oscillators

Lubomír Skála, Jakub Čı́žek, J. Dvořák +1 more

A method for calculating the analytical solutions of the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation is suggested. A general discussion of the possible forms of the potentials and wave functions that are necessary to get the analytical solution is presented. In general, the analytical solutions appear in multiplets corresponding to the quantum number n of the harmonic oscillator. As an application, known solutions for the anharmonic oscillators are critically recalculated and a few additional results are found. Analytical solutions are also found for the generalized Morse oscillators. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

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.
