Solving the Schrödinger Equation for Bound States with Mathematica 3.0
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using Mathematica 3.0, the Schrödinger equation for bound states is solved. The method of solution is based on a numerical integration procedure together with convexity arguments and the nodal theorem for wave functions. The interaction potential has to be spherically symmetric. The solving procedure is simply defined as some Mathematica function. The output is the energy eigenvalue and the reduced wave function, which is provided as an interpolated function (and can thus be used for the calculation of, e.g., moments by using any Mathematica built-in function) as well as plotted automatically. The corresponding program schroedinger.nb can be obtained from [email protected].

متن کاملAuxiliary fields as a tool for computing analytical solutions of the Schrödinger equation
We propose a new method to obtain approximate solutions for the Schrödinger equation with an arbitrary potential that possesses bound states. This method, relying on the auxiliary field technique, allows in many cases to find analytical solutions. It offers a convenient way to study the qualitative features of the energy spectrum of bound states in any potential. In particular, we illustrate ou...
متن کاملAbsorbing boundary conditions for solving stationary Schrödinger equations
Using pseudodifferential calculus and factorization theorems we construct a hierarchy of novel absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) for the stationary Schrödinger equation with general (linear and nonlinear) exterior potential V (x). Doing so, we generalize the well-known quantum transmitting boundary condition of Lent and Kirkner to the case of space-dependent potential. Here, we present a bri...

متن کاملAsymptotic Dynamics of Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations: Resonance Dominated and Radiation Dominated Solutions
We consider a linear Schrödinger equation with a small nonlinear perturbation in R3. Assume that the linear Hamiltonian has exactly two bound states and its eigenvalues satisfy some resonance condition. We prove that if the initial data is near a nonlinear ground state, then the solution approaches to certain nonlinear ground state as the time tends to infinity. Furthermore, the difference betw...
