mechani mie The potential energy barrier shown below is a simplified model of thec electrons in metals. The metal workfunction (Ew), the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the metal, is given by Ew-,-E where 1s the height of the potential energy barrier and E is the energy of the electrons near the surface of the metal.

please thoroughly explain these answers. the correct answers are
marked, but i do not understand. also, when is the perturbation
theory preferred over the variation theory and why?
Question A: A particle of mass m in a box of length a has a potential energy inside the box that can be expressed as a linear function of position, i.c, v -kx, where k is a constant. (Assume that the system can be treated using perturbation theory)mo v 1. What would...

2.2 Two-level system A particle in the box is described by the following wavefunction 1 1 V(x, t) + V2 V2 = Um(x)e -i(Em/h) In other words, this state is a superposition of two modes: n-th, and m-th. A superposition that involves only two modes (not necessarily particle in the box modes, but any two modes) is called a "two-level system”. A more modern name for such a superposition is a "qubit”. a) Come up with an expression for the...

2. Goal of this problem is to study how tunnelling in a two-well system emerges. In particular, we are interested in determining how the tunnelling rate T' of a particle with mass m scales as a function of the (effective) height Vo - E and width b of an energy barrier separating the two wells. The following graphics illustrates the set-up. Initially the particle may be trapped on the left side corresponding to the state |L〉, we are now interested...
