One dimension:
Time-independent Schroedinger equation:
(-ħ2/(2m))∂2ψ(x)/∂x2
+ U(x)ψ(x)
= Eψ(x).
The solutions of the time-independent Schroedinger equations are wave functions
of particles with a well-defined energy E (stationary states).
ψ(x,t) = ψ(x) exp(-iEt/ħ).
Infinite square well:
ψn(x) = (2/L)1/2sin(nπx/L), n = 1, 2, 3,
... .
En = n2π2ħ2/(2mL2).
Harmonic well:
En = (n + 1/2)ħω = (n + 1/2)hf, n = 0, 1, 2, ... .
