A new analytic method is presented for evaluating zeros of wave functions. In this method, locating the zeros of wave functions of the Schrodinger equation is converted to finding the roots of a polynomials. The coefficient of this polynomial can be evaluated analytically for a class of potentials. The speciality of this method is that the zeros are located without solving an equation of motion for the wave function. The method is valid for both real and complex systems and can be applied for locating both real and complex zeros. Examples are given to illustrate the method.

We present exact solutions of solitonic profile mass Schrödinger equation with a modified Pöschl–Teller potential. We find that the solutions can be expressed analytically in terms of confluent Heun functions. However, the energy levels are not analytically obtainable except via numerical calculations. The properties of the wave functions, which depend on the values of potential parameter [Formula: see text] are illustrated graphically. We find that the potential changes from single well to a double well when parameter [Formula: see text] changes from minus to positive. Initially, the crest of wave function for the ground state diminishes gradually with increasing [Formula: see text] and then becomes negative. We notice that the parities of the wave functions for [Formula: see text] also change.

Operating just once the naive Foldy-Wouthuysen-Tani transformation on the Schrödinger equation for [Formula: see text] bound states described by a Hamiltonian, we systematically develop a perturbation theory in 1/mQ which enables one to solve the Schrödinger equation to obtain masses and wave functions of the bound states in any order of 1/mQ. There also appear negative components of the wave function in our formulation which contribute also to higher order corrections to masses.

In this paper, we consider the parabolic potential, which as a whole is subject to dipole or quadrupole action (parametric resonance), which periodically changes with time, and the dynamics of the wave function of a particle. Based on the solutions found for the nonstationary Schrödinger equation, algorithms for calculating the dynamics of the wave function are constructed. The evolution of the wave function of a particle is analyzed. Asymptotic solutions of the equation of motion are given, using which the main characteristics of the wave packet are obtained. For selected types of potential perturbations, examples of the evolution of the wave function are given.

We solve the D-dimensional Schrödinger equation with hyperbolic Pöschl-Teller potential plus a generalized ring-shaped potential. After the separation of variable in the hyperspherical coordinate, we used Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method to solve the resulting radial equation and obtain explicitly the energy level and the corresponding wave function in closed form. The solutions to the energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions are obtained using the NU method as well.

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].

The usual method for solving the vibrational Schrödinger equation to obtain molecular vibrational spectra and the associated wave functions generally involves the expansion of the vibrational wave function, ψk(y), in terms of a linear combination of a set of basis functions.

The exact solutions of the Schrodinger equations (SE) in the D-dimensional coordinate system have attracted the attention of many theoretical researchers in branches of quantum physics and quantum chemistry. The energy eigenvalues and the wave function are the solutions of the Schrodinger equation that implicitly represents the behavior of a quantum mechanical system. This study aimed to obtain the eigenvalues, wave functions, and thermodynamic properties of the 6-Dimensional Schrodinger equation under Double Ring-Shaped Oscillator (DRSO) and Manning-Rosen potential. The variable separation method was applied to reduce the one 6-Dimensional Schrodinger equation depending on radial and angular non-central potential into five onedimensional Schrodinger equations: one radial and five angular Schrodinger equations. Each of these onedimensional Schrodinger equations was solved using the SUSY QM method to obtain one eigenvalue and one wave function of the radial part, five eigenvalues, and five angular wave functions angular part. Some thermodynamic properties such, the vibrational mean energy 𝑈, vibrational specific heat 𝐶, vibrational free energy 𝐹, and vibrational entropy 𝑆, were obtained using the radial energy equations. The results showed that except the 𝑛𝑙1, all increment of angular quantum number decreases the energy values. Increments of all potential parameter increase the energy values. Increment of angular quantum number and potentials parameter increases the amplitude and shifts the wave functions to the left. However, the increment of 𝑛𝑙1, 𝛼, 𝜎, and 𝜌 decrease the amplitude and shift wavefunctions to the right. Moreover, the vibrational mean energy 𝑈 and free energy 𝐹 increased as the increasing value of potentials parameters, where the ω parameter has the dominant effect than the other parameters. The vibrational specific heat 𝐶 and entropy 𝑆 affected only by the 𝜔 parameter, where 𝐶 and 𝑆 decreased as the increase of 𝜔.

Modern general theory of relativity considers gravity as the curvature of space-time. The theory is based on the principle of equivalence. All bodies fall with the same acceleration in the gravitational field, which is equivalent to locally accelerated reference systems. In this article, we will affirm the concept of gravity as the curvature of the relative wave function of the Universe. That is, a change in the phase of the universal wave function of the Universe near a massive body leads to a change in all other wave functions of bodies. The main task is to find the form of the relative wave function of the Universe, as well as a new equation of gravity for connecting the curvature of the wave function and the density of matter.
