We revisit a rectangular barrier as well as a rectangular well (pit) between two rigid walls. The former is the well known double-well potential and the latter is a hole potential. Let $|V_0|$ be the height (depth) of the barrier (well)…
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…

One of the most widely problem studied in quantum mechanics is of an infinite square-well potential. In a minimal-length scenario its study requires additional care because the boundary conditions at the walls of the well are not well…
The solution to a problem in quantum mechanics is generally a linear superposition of states. The solutions for double well potentials epitomize this property, and go even further than this: they can often be described by an effective model…
