Abstract
We analyze the semiclassical -dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger operator in the continuum discretized on a mesh with spacing proportional to . The semi-classical parameter is chosen as , with , which ensures that governs both the semiclassical and continuum limit simultaneously. We prove that all eigenvalues of the discrete operator converge to those of the continuum, as . Beyond this semi-classical domain, in the case of the harmonic oscillator, we further discuss the spectral asymptotics for , thereby fully characterizing the eigenvalue behavior across all possible values of .
