3. The quantum harmonic oscillator is the quantum-mechanical analog of the classical harmonic oscillator. Because an arbitrary potential can usually be approximated as a harmonic potential at the vicinity of a stable equilibrium point, it is one of the most important model systems in quantum mechanics. Consider an electron trapped by a one-dimensional harmonic potential V(x)=-5 mo?x” (where m is the electron mass, o is a constant angular frequency). In this case, the Schrödinger equation takes the following form, **...
