The solution of the Schrödinger equation for a particle with this type of potential is given by the product of a Gaussian function and a Hermite potential. The mean displacement of a quantum one is zero, just like its classical analogue. Though quadratic and quartic versions exist, simple ones obey Hooke's law. For 10 points—name this mechanical mo
The solution of the Schrödinger equation for a particle with this type of potential is given by the product of a Gaussian function and a Hermite potential. The mean displacement of a quantum one is zero, just like its classical analogue. Though quadratic and quartic versions exist, simple ones obey Hooke's law. For 10 points—name this mechanical model in which a particle's vibrations can be described in terms of sine and cosine functions, the simplest example of which is a spring..
