Confinement of atoms inside impenetrable (hard) and penetrable (soft) cavities has been studied for nearly eight decades. However, a unified virial theorem for such systems has not yet been found. Here we provide a general virial-like…

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…
