The quantum Gaussian well

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Different features of a potential in the form of a Gaussian well have been discussed extensively. Although the details of the calculation are involved, the general approach uses a variational method and WKB approximation, techniques which should be familiar to advanced undergraduates. A numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation through diagonalization has been developed in a self-contained way, and physical applications of the potential are mentioned.
