Quasiclassical Analysis of the Three-dimensional Shredinger's Equation and its Solution

preprint2000arXivOpen access

Abstract

The three-dimensional Schredinger's equation is analyzed with the help of the correspondence principle between classical and quantum-mechanical quantities. Separation is performed after reduction of the original equation to the form of the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Each one-dimensional equation obtained after separation is solved by the conventional WKB method. Quasiclassical solution of the angular equation results in the integral of motion M⃗2=(l+12)2ℏ2\vec M^2=(l+\frac 12)^2\hbar^2 and the existence of nontrivial solution for the angular quantum number l=0l=0. Generalization of the WKB method for multi-turning-point problems is given. Exact eigenvalues for solvable and some "insoluble" spherically symmetric potentials are obtained. Quasiclassical eigenfunctions are written in terms of elementary functions in the form of a standing wave.
