Continuous vs. discrete models for the quantum harmonic oscillator and the hydrogen atom

Miguel Lorente

The Kravchuk and Meixner polynomials of discrete variable are introduced for the discrete models of the harmonic oscillator and hydrogen atom. Starting from Rodrigues formula we construct raising and lowering operators, commutation and anticommutation relations. The physical properties of discrete models are figured out through the equivalence with the continuous models obtained by limit process.

π in Fundamental Quantum Systems

Ndenga Lumbu Barack

This dataset accompanies the scientific article exploring the fundamental role of π in quantum mechanics. It demonstrates how π naturally arises in three cornerstone systems: the quantum harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, and the Fourier transform linking position and momentum. The figures and visualizations included illustrate: Gaussian wavefunction normalization in the harmonic oscillator 3D probability density and spherical harmonics of the hydrogen atom Fourier duality showing the conservation of total probability These results highlight π as a universal invariant in quantum mechanics, regulating normalization, symmetry, and coherence. Far from being a geometric relic, π emerges as the mathematical signature of balance between discrete quantization and continuous probability.
