Given here are solutions to 15 problems on Quantum Mechanics in one dimension. The solutions were used as a learning-tool for students in the introductory undergraduate course Physics 200 Relativity and Quanta given by Malcolm McMillan at UBC during the 1998 and 1999 Winter Sessions.
a. Write the general solution to the Schrödinger equation for the regions I, II, III, assuming a solution with energy E < V (i.e. a bound state). b. Write down the wavefunction matching conditions at the interface between regions I and II and between II and III. c. Write down the boundary conditions on Ψ for x → ±∞. d. Use your answers to a.
SOLUTIONS TO THE SCHRÖDINGER EQUATION. Free particle and the particle in a box. Schrödinger equation is a 2nd-order diff. eq. 2 ∂2ψ ( x ) − + V ( x )ψ ( x Eψ ( x. ) 2m ∂x2. We can find two independent solutions φ. ( x ) and φ. ( x. ) The general solution is a linear combination. Aφ ( x Bφ. 2 ( x ) and B are then determined by boundary conditions on

Practice problems – Schrodinger Equation and Atomic Physics 1. A particle is in the second excited state (n=3) in a one-dimentional square potential with absolutely impenetrable walls (0<x<L). Find the probability of the particle being in the region 1/3 L < x < 2/3 L. 2.
The Schrödinger Equation and its Interpretation In this lecture you will learn: • Schrödinger equation: the time-dependent form • Schrödinger equation: the probabilistic interpretation • Breakdown of determinism in quantum physics
5.1 The Schr¨odinger and Heisenberg pictures Until now we described the dynamics of quantum mechanics by looking at the time evolution of the state vectors. This approach to quantum dynamics is called the Schrodinger picture.
