In class, we considered a box with walls at \(x=0\) and \(x=L\). Now consider a box with width \(L\) but centered at \(x=0\), so that it extends from \(x=-L / 2\) to \(x=L / 2\) as shown in the figure. Note that this box is symmetric about \(x=0 .\) (a) Consider possible wave functions of the form \(\psi(x)=A \sin k x\). Apply the boundary conditions at the wall to obtain the allowed energy levels.(b) Another set of possible wave functions...

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...
The wavefunctions for a particle in a box are given by: ψn(x) = (2/L)^1/2 sin(nπx/L), with n=1,2,3,4. . . . Let’s assume an electron is trapped in a box of length L = 0.5 nm.
