The Schr\"{o}dinger equation is solved for the case of a particle confined to a small region of a box with infinite walls. If walls of the well are moved, then, due to an effective quantum nonlocal interaction with the boundary, even though…

If $\Psi$ is a quaternionic wave function, then $i\Psi\neq \Psi i$. Thus, there are two versions of the quaternionic Schr\"odinger equation (QSE). In this article, we present the second possibility for solving the QSE, following on from a…
