Formally exact quantization condition for nonrelativistic quantum systems

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v1 Astrophysics High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

Based on the standard transfer matrix, a formally exact quantization condition for arbitrary potentials, which outflanks and unifies the historical approaches, is derived. It can be used to find the exact bound-state energy eigenvalues of the quantum system without solving an equation of motion for the system wave functions.
