A split kinetic energy solution scheme applied to various delta potentials in quantum mechanical systems

Yu-Hsin Chen, Sheng Der Chao

Published Mar 25, 2017• 4 citations

Abstract

In this work, we extend the previously developed split kinetic energy (dubbed KEP) method by Mineo and Chao (2012) by modifying the mass parameter to include the negative mass. We first show how to separate the total system into the subsystems with 3 attractive delta potentials by using the KEP method. For repulsive delta potentials, we introduce "negative" mass terms. Two cases are demonstrated using the "negative" mass terms for repulsive delta potential problems in quantum mechanics. Our work shows that the KEP solution scheme can be used to obtain not only the exact energies but also the exact wavefunctions very precisely.

We first show how to separate the total system into the subsystems with 3 attractive delta potentials by using the KEP method. For repulsive delta potentials, we introduce negative mass terms. Two cases are demonstrated using the negative mass terms for repulsive delta potential problems in quantum mechanics.

Improved Method for Quantum Mechanical Three-Body Problems. II. Repulsive Potentials

Leonard J. Eyges

We extend a method previously presented for the three-body problem with attractive interparticle potentials to the case of repulsive interparticle potentials, with periodic boundary conditions on each particle. As before, we decompose the wave function into three parts, and from the Schrödinger equation write equations for these parts. We observe that, in one-dimension and for δ-function potentials,these equations can be easily solved numerically, and we present these solutions for potential“strengths” ranging from zero to infinity. We then discuss a more general method for solving these equations, which method involves expansions in a certain set of two-body functions. This general method is not necessarily limited to either one dimension or δ-function potentials, but, as a check on it, we do apply it to that case and get good agreement with the previous numerical results. As a further exploration of the method, we apply it to square well potentials in one dimension. In an Appendix we discuss the set of two-body functions that we use.

Hamilton-Jacobi and Lagrange Formulations of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics Wave Equations with Solutions with Only-Positive and Only-Negative Kinetic Energies

Luis Grave de Peralta, Arquímedes Ruiz-Columbié

Using the Hamilton-Jacobi and the Lagrange formalisms, a pair of relativistic quantum mechanics equations are obtained by abduction. These equations, in contrast with the Klein-Gordon and other relativistic quantum mechanics equations, have no solutions with both positive and negative kinetic energies. The equation with solutions with only positive kinetic energy values describes a spin-0 particle of mass m, which is moving at relativistic speeds in a scalar potential. The wavefunctions and the energies corresponding to the associated antiparticle can be obtained by solving the other equation, which only has solutions with negative kinetic energy values.

A Mini-Review of the Kinetic Energy Partition Method in Quantum Mechanics

Yu-Hsin Chen, I-Huan Wu, Sheng Der Chao

Based on the idea of adiabatic symmetry, we present a novel basis set expansion method—the kinetic energy partition (KEP) method—for solving quantum eigenvalue problems. Broken symmetry is responsible for quantum entanglement in many-body systems via parametric non-adiabatic corrections. Starting from simple one-particle-in-one-dimension problems, we gradually increase the complexity in the number of particles and the interaction patterns. Our goal in the mini-review is to advocate for the utility of the KEP method in front-line research, in particular for research beginners in quantum many-body problems.

The equivalent two-body and delta energy lower bounds for N-boson systems

Richard L. Hall

Studies the ground-state energy of a system of N identical bosons, each having mass m, which interact in one dimension via the pair potential V(x)= gamma f(x/a) and obey non-relativistic quantum mechanics. A recent energy lower bound based on the known exact solution for the delta potential is compared to an earlier bound provided by the equivalent two-body method. The delta bound is good whenever the potential is very narrow and deep. For any bounded potential, the earlier energy bound is always better for large N. Detailed results and graphs are given for the sech-squared potential and the square-well potential.
