Comparative study of quantum anharmonic potentials

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We perform a study of various anharmonic potentials using a recently developed method. We calculate both the wave functions and the energy eigenvalues for the ground and first excited states of the quartic, sextic and octic potentials with high precision, comparing the results with other techniques available in the literature.
