3. A particle is in a 1D box (infinite potential well) of dimension, a, situated symmetrically about the origin of the x-axis. A measurement of energy is made and the particle is found to have the ground state energy: 2ma The walls of the box are expanded instantaneously, doubling the well width symmetrically about the origin, leaving the particle in the same state. a) Sketch the initial potential well making it symmetric about x - 0 (note this is different...
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...
