Energy levels for quantum anharmonic oscillators

  • 1. University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (South Africa)

Description

Quantum anharmonic oscillators arise in a wide variety of physical systems. The computation of eigenvalues for these types of potentials poses difficulties in cases where they appear in clusters. An exact method for a restricted class of double-well potentials is outlined, as well as a more general numeric method based on the Pruefer transform
