The one-dimensional hydrogen atom is an intriguing quantum mechanics problem that exhibits several properties which have been continually debated. In particular, there has been variance as to whether or not even-parity solutions exist, and specifically whether or not the ground state is an even-parity state with infinite negative energy. We study a regularized version of this system, where the potential is a constant in the vicinity of the origin, and we discuss the even- and odd-parity solutions for this regularized one-dimensional hydrogen atom. We show how the even-parity states, with the exception of the ground state, converge to the same functional form and become degenerate for $x > 0$ with the odd-parity solutions as the cutoff approaches zero. This differs with conclusions derived from analysis of the singular (i.e., without regularization) one-dimensional Coulomb potential, where even-parity solutions are absent from the spectrum.

We derive analytic expressions of the recursive solutions to the Schr{o}dingers equation by means of a cutoff potential technique for one-dimensional piecewise constant potentials. These solutions provide a method for accurately determining the trans mission probabilities as well as the wave function in both classically accessible region and inaccessible region for any barrier potentials. It is also shown that the energy eigenvalues and the wave functions of bound states can be obtained for potential-well structures by exploiting this method. Calculational results of illustrative examples are shown in order to verify this method for treating barrier and potential-well problems.
Optical nonlinearities typically require macroscopic media, thereby making their implementation at the quantum level an outstanding challenge. Here we demonstrate a nonlinearity for one atom enclosed by two highly reflecting mirrors. We send laser li ght through the input mirror and record the light from the output mirror of the cavity. For weak laser intensity, we find the vacuum-Rabi resonances. But for higher intensities, we find an additional resonance. It originates from the fact that the cavity can accommodate only an integer number of photons and that this photon number determines the characteristic frequencies of the coupled atom-cavity system. We selectively excite such a frequency by depositing at once two photons into the system and find a transmission which increases with the laser intensity squared. The nonlinearity differs from classical saturation nonlinearities and is direct spectroscopic proof of the quantum nature of the atom-cavity system. It provides a photon-photon interaction by means of one atom, and constitutes a step towards a two-photon gateway or a single-photon transistor.
The bound state energy eigenvalues for the two-dimensional Kepler problem are found to be degenerate. This accidental degeneracy is due to the existence of a two-dimensional analogue of the quantum-mechanical Runge-Lenz vector. Reformulating the prob lem in momentum space leads to an integral form of the Schroedinger equation. This equation is solved by projecting the two-dimensional momentum space onto the surface of a three-dimensional sphere. The eigenfunctions are then expanded in terms of spherical harmonics, and this leads to an integral relation in terms of special functions which has not previously been tabulated. The dynamical symmetry of the problem is also considered, and it is shown that the two components of the Runge-Lenz vector in real space correspond to the generators of infinitesimal rotations about the respective coordinate axes in momentum space.

In this work we investigate the $q$-deformation of the $so(4)$ dynamical symmetry of the hydrogen atom using the theory of the quantum group $su_q(2)$. We derive the energy spectrum in a physically consistent manner and find a degeneracy breaking as well as a smaller Hilbert space. We point out that using the deformed Casimir as was done before leads to inconsistencies in the physical interpretation of the theory.
In this paper, the ground state Wigner function of a many-body system is explored theoretically and numerically. First, an eigenvalue problem for Wigner function is derived based on the energy operator of the system. The validity of finding the groun d state through solving this eigenvalue problem is obtained by building a correspondence between its solution and the solution of stationary Schrodinger equation. Then, a numerical method is designed for solving proposed eigenvalue problem in one dimensional case, which can be briefly described by i) a simplified model is derived based on a quantum hydrodynamic model [Z. Cai et al, J. Math. Chem., 2013] to reduce the dimension of the problem, ii) an imaginary time propagation method is designed for solving the model, and numerical techniques such as solution reconstruction are proposed for the feasibility of the method. Results of several numerical experiments verify our method, in which the potential application of the method for large scale system is demonstrated by examples with density functional theory.
