Question:
Find the ground state of the quantum harmonic oscillator. Start by showing that the Hamiltonian from eq
can be ?factorized? similar to (a2 ? b2) = (a ? b)(a + b) in the form
Where?
Show that the Schr?dinger equation is satisfied if (? d/dx + x/?)?0(x) = 0. Show that ?0(x) = Ne?ax2 is such a solution for the right choice of a. Find N such that ?0(x) is normalized. What is the energy of this state?
