Abstract

The bound state energies of a 1-dimensional finite quantum square well (FSW) can be determined using a geometric method, involving a smooth mapping between two copies of the complex plane. The method allows one to identify particular strengths of the FSW at which the system can become unusually sensitive to changes in the well depth or geometry. In the present paper we explore that sensitivity, and exhibit a 3-D visualization of the solutions.
