All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for free(a) Use Equation 10.42 to calculate the geometric phase change when the infinite square well expands adiabatically from width
(b) If the expansion occurs at a constant rate
(c) If the well now contracts back to its original size, what is Berry's phase for the cycle?
(a) Derive the equation 10.67 from Equation 10.65.
(b) Derive Equation 10.79, starting with Equation 10.78.
Check the Equation 10.31 satisfies the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for the Hamiltonian in Equation 10.25. Also confirm Equation 10.33, and show that the sum of the squares of the coefficients is 1, as required for normalization.
A particle starts out in the ground state of the infinite square well (on the interval 0 ā¤ x ā¤ a) .Now a wall is slowly erected, slightly off center:
where
(a)Find (and sketch) the ground state at
(b) Find the (transcendental) equation for the ground state energy at time t.
Answer:
(c) Setting Ī“ = 0 , solve graphically for z, and show that the smallest z goes from Ļ to 2Ļ as T goes from 0 to ā. Explain this result.
(d) Now set Ī“ = 0.01 and solve numerically for z, using
(e) Find the probability
. Evaluate this expression numerically for the Tās and Ī“ in part (d). Comment on your results.
(f) Plot the ground state wave function for those same values of T and Ī“.
Note how it gets squeezed into the left half of the well, as the barrier grows.
Show that if
