The reason for doing this is ξ that e ensures that ψ 0 as ξ. Note that letting ξ means that E/ ħ ω is negligible with respect to ξ. What is the solution to the differential equation if we ignore the E term? ħ ω This is a very clean form of the Schrödinger equation because all of the k,μ-specific factors are absorbed into a dimensionless ξ variable. Why would we want this? The Hermite polynomials (in integer powers of ξ) are solutions to the differential equation ( ) d H n dξ dh ξ n + nh n = 0. (Hermite equation) dξ There are very convenient recursion relations that relate the H n 1 to the H n, etc. dh n = nh n 1 ( ξ ). dξ This looks like the effect of pˆ on H n (because the leading term in H n is ξ n ).
3 5.61 Fall, 013 Lecture #8 Page 3 H n+1 ( ξ ) = ξh n ( ξ ) nh n 1 ( ξ ), rearranging 1 ξh n (ξ) = H n+1 (ξ) + nh n 1(ξ). This looks like the effect of xˆ on H n. We will use this second recursion relation to compute integrals of the form d ξ ψ* nξ m ψ p. (n, m, p are integers). These recursion relations enable us to evaluate all integrals of the form m ψ v (xˆn pˆ ) ψ v+fdx (we will postpone the actual evaluation until next lecture) and we derive the selection rule for nonzero integrals f = n + m, n + m, (n + m) There is also a general expression (Rodrigues formula) for the H n ( ) 1 d n n ξ ξ H n ξ = ( ) e dξ e n The Hermite equation is a well known (to mathematicians) differential equation. The solutions of the Schrödinger equation are

Classical: T(x) = E V(x) = p(x) /μ p(x) = [m(e V(x))] 1/ p(x) is momentum in classical mechanics but just a convenient function in quantum mechanics. Quantum: h de Broglie λ= p valid not just for free particle or a piecewise constant potential

[To get the classical envelope, assume that the maximum value of ψ*ψ is twice the average value. [This is always a good approximation for a rapidly oscillating always positive function.] Thus the envelope of k / π 1/ ψ (x)ψ(x) envelope is. E V (x)
6 5.61 Fall, 013 Lecture #8 Page 6 * node spacing h (1) recall λ=, use classical ideas to qualitatively locate nodes, p(x) () nodes are closest together when p is largest (near x = 0), envelope and node spacing allows you to sketch ψ (x)ψ(x) without solving a differential equation. Δ x 1 (3) or compute a phase integral = (want to find value of Δx that is λ(x) equal to λ/, the distance between nodes) replace λ(x) by h p(x). We get h x+λ/ h p(x)δ x = as the distance, Δx, between nodes more accurately, dxp(x) = x x phase integral pe (x)dx tells us how many nodes there are between x 1 and x h x 1 at energy E. This is the same as knowing how many bound energy levels lie at or below E.
