The quantum Schrodinger equation and the q-deformation of the hydrogen atom
Zing-Chang Song, Liao Li
Abstract
By employing the non-commutative differential calculus on the quantum orthogonal planes, the authors investigate the deformed version of the Schrodinger equation for the attractive Coulomb potential V(r)=-e 2 /r. The solutions show the quantum group symmetry, and the calculated energy eigenvalues seem to be proportional to (n) -2 which is in agreement with the energy levels of the hydrogen atom in the limit of q to 1.
