Stationary states in a potential well

Haret Codratian Rosu, José Luis Morán-López

Published Feb 18, 2007• 1 citation

Abstract

We review here in a historical context the topic of stationary states in the quantum world, including the generalization to the primary ideas. We also discuss the stationary states in one dimensional parabolic wells and the three dimensional Coulomb and parabolic cases, as well as the stationary bound states in the continuum

On the analogy between the stationary states of a particle bound in a one-dimensional well and standing waves on a string

V. Černý, Ján Pišút, Peter Prešnajder

The analogy between standing waves on a string and the stationary states of a particle in an infinitely deep potential well, frequently used in elementary presentations of the ideas of quantum mechanics, is critically analysed. The author suggest a way to avoid the incorrect intermediate steps sometimes used in this analogy. In contrast to the conclusions of a recent paper by Lacina (1985), they find the analogy viable.

Solvable model of bound states in the continuum (BIC) in one dimension

Zafar Ahmed, Sachin Kumar, Dona Ghosh +1 more

Abstract Historically, most of the quantum mechanical results have originated in one dimensional model potentials. However, Von-Neumann’s Bound states in the Continuum (BIC) originated in specially constructed, three dimensional, oscillatory, central potentials. One dimensional version of BIC has long been attempted, where only quasi-exactly-solvable models have succeeded but not without instigating degeneracy in one dimension. Here, we present an exactly solvable bottomless exponential potential barrier V ( x ) = − V 0 [ exp ( 2 ∣ x ∣ / a ) − 1 ] which for E < V 0 has a continuum of non-square-integrable, definite-parity, degenerate states. In this continuum, we show a surprising presence of discrete energy, square-integrable, definite-parity, non-degenerate states. For E > V 0 , there is again a continuum of complex scattering solutions ψ ( x ) whose real and imaginary parts though solutions of Schrödinger equation yet their parities cannot be ascertained as Cψ ( x ) is also a solution where C is an arbitrary complex non-real number.

Stationary and Non-stationary Quantum States

Steven A. Adelman

In Section 3.2 , we introduced stationary quantum states. In this chapter, we expand this introduction and also derive some basic results for non-stationary states. Before beginning our mathematical treatments of stationary and non-stationary quantum states, we briefly review the stationary states of the Bohr theory and also qualitatively describe their similarities to and differences from the stationary states of modern quantum mechanics.

The Derivation of the Medium Wave Function in a One-Dimensional Finite Deep Symmetrical Square Potential Well

Zhao Peng-y

Three methods-a documental analysis, a textual method, a comprehensive analysis- are used in this article to analyze the energy levels of motional particles and their wave functions of one-dimensional finite deep symmetrical square potential wells, thus solving the eigen-values and eigen-functions at their corresponding energetic levels. Due to the three following advantages of a one-dimensional problem-its simpler mathematical processing, and the possible detailed-discussed results, and the display of the many features of quantum systems, so in the paper, the eigen-values and the exact formulas of the wave functions of moving particles in a one-dimensional finite deep symmetric square potential wells, which are not specified in the textbooks, are deviated according to the Schrodinger equation of stationary state through a case study of moving particles in a one-dimensional finite deep symmetric square potential wells.

Simulation of smooth models of potentials with singular point using Many-Interacting-Worlds Method

Wen Chen, An Min Wang

The deterministic many-interacting-worlds method proposed in 2014 showed potential among the numerous interpretation of quantum mechanics. The successful application of this method in harmonic oscillator has been promoted for a long time. In this article we continue the idea about using this method to solve some bounded systems different from harmonic oscillator potential and extend to 2 dimension cases. We focus on the potential with singularity like coulomb potential and finite trap potential by some asymptotic smooth method. The numerical simulation mainly based on the dynamical algorithm proposed in many-interacting-worlds method will be used to approach the stationary states of given systems. Our results shows the consistency to the matrix Numerov method in standard quantum mechanics in solving bounded systems and provides the possibility to solve more complex systems.
