A time-dependent extension of a Morse potential is formulated. Both the bound and unbound state wave functions are obtained algebraically for the resulting time-dependent Schrödinger equations, based upon the representations of su(2) and su(1,1), respectively. The method of R-separation of variables is instrumental in the analysis.
In all the applications of the formalism of quantum theory, we have considered mainly time-independent potential functions, V ( r , t ) = V ( r ). Such potentials made it easier to solve exactly the Schrodinger's equation or by solving the Schrodinger's equation approximately by using perturbation theory. The solution of the Schrodinger equation for time-independent potentials is obtained by using method of separable variables. The solution of time-independent Schrodinger gives stationary states, and the time dependence of the wave function is obtained by adding a phase factor to the stationary state. The schematic that follows describes such an approach ( Figure 7.1 ).
The use of a time-dependent basis set for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is proposed. The basis set is a generalization of the harmonic oscillator functions. The proposed method is similar to the approaches formulated by Lee and Heller and by Coalson and Karplus. However, in the present method the time dependence of the basis functions is determined differently. Numerical studies on the quartic oscillator and on the Morse potential are carried out to investigate the performance of the various methods.
In this paper, Schrodinger equation has been solved analytically with position dependent mass by the Rosen-Morse potential. The position dependent mass defined as the function 1/(1 — tanh(η x )). Then corresponding position dependent mass substituted into Schrodinger equation. After that the obtained equation compared with associated Jacobi differential equation. Therefore, the eigenvalue and eigenfunctionhave been calculated, and from there the bound state has been found in terms of quantum numbers and the coefficients of potential. Also, the wave function has been obtained in terms of the associated Jacobi equation by μ = —3 and v = 2.
