Two students have a very pressing homework deadline concerning the application of the variational principle to estimate the ground state energy of the harmonic oscillator. The Hamiltonian operator of such system is î H -12d = 24 d.22 + 2 .2. in which u is the reduced mass of the oscillator and w = (force constant/u)/2 its natural frequency. The correct energies for this system are well known Eo = (v +) , v= 0,1,2, ... As the trial function...
Estimate the ground-state energy of a one-dimensional simple harmonic oscillator using (50) = e-a-l as a trial function with a to be varied. For a simple harmonic oscillator we have H + jmwºr? Recall that, for the variational method, the trial function (HO) gives an expectation value of H such that (016) > Eo, where Eo is the ground state energy. You may use: n! dH() ||= TH(c) – z[1 – H(r)], 8(2), dx S." arcade an+1 where (x) and...
2. Variational Principle. The energy of a system with wave function ψ is given by where H is the energy operator. The variational principle is a method by which we guess a trial form for the wave function φ, with adjustable parameters, and minimize the resulting energy with respect to the adjustable parameters. This essentially chooses a "best fit" wave function based on our guess. Since the energy of the system with the correct wave function will always be minimum...

Newton's Method in MATLAB During this module, we are going to use Newton's method to compute the root(s) of the function f(x) = x° + 3x² – 2x – 4 Since we need an initial approximation ('guess') of each root to use in Newton's method, let's plot the function f(x) to see many roots there are, and approximately where they lie. Exercise 1 Use MATLAB to create a plot of the function f(x) that clearly shows the locations of its...
