Perturbation of a negative potential time dependent problem
Hello,
I am trying to calculate the probability that the n = 3 state will be excited at t = infinity for the case where b<<< a. and to show that for any value of b only the odd n states will be excited at t = infinity.
my initial conditions and setup are:
V(x,t) = Vinit(x) exp(-lambda times t) where I have a negative potential in the center of an infinite square well for the case where the perturbation fades away exponentially in time.
I set my potential at -V in the center between the -a and a boundaries and the perturbation extends from -b to +b in the center so the pertubation is as follows:
Vinit(x) = 0 for -a < or = x , -b
Vinit(x) = -V for -b, or = x , or = b
Vinit(x) = 0 for = b, x, or = +a
the sq well is like this: | |
| |
|_____ _____|
-a -b | | b a
|___|
as best as I can draw it in text chars.
and my unperturbed wavefunctions between a and -a are:
square root of 1/a sin(n*pi*x/2*a) for n even, and same only cos for n odd
I hope this gives enough detail for you. I have been working on this one but am having trouble with the t = infinity and b <<< a conditions.
