Certain superposition states of the 1-D infinite square well have transient zeros at locations other than the nodes of the eigenstates that comprise them. It is shown that if an infinite potential barrier is suddenly raised at some or all…
It is well-known that a delta potential well in 1D has only one bound state but that in 3D it supports an {\it infinite} number of bound states with {\it infinite} binding energy for the lowest level. We show how this also holds for the…
This article examines the suggestion made in Ref. [EPL, 115 (2016) 60001] that a solution to a particle in an infinite spherical well model, if it is square-integrable, is a physically valid solution, even if at the precise location of the…

We show that it needs a more delicate potential to confine particles inside a well. The original model containing a vague notation of infinity in the potential energy is ambiguous. Using the Heaviside step function and the Dirac…

We present one dimensional potentials $V(x)= V_0[e^{2|x|/a}-1]$ as solvable models of a well $(V_0>0)$ and a barrier ($V_0<0$). Apart from being new addition to solvable models, these models are instructive for finding bound and scattering…
An infinite sequence of potential well functions is considered. A trial wavefunction is used with the Schr$\ddot{\text{o}}$dinger equation to obtain an approximate ground state energy for each potential well function. We obtain an…
In the present paper a method of finding the dynamics of the Wigner function of a particle in an infinite quantum well is developed. Starting with the problem of a reflection from an impenetrable wall, the obtained solution is then…
