Bound-State Spectra for Two Delta Function Potentials
Bound-State Spectra for Two Delta Function Potentials
This Demonstration shows the bound-state spectra (d)of a particle of mass in the presence of two attractive potentials separated by a distance , . Since the Fourier transform of this potential is factorizable, , the bound-state spectra are easily obtained using the momentum-space Schrödinger equation. The energies are normalized to the magnitude of the symmetric-state energy at . Note that the second (antisymmetric) bound state appears only when the distance between the functions exceeds the critical value =2/λm.
