The infinite well and Dirac delta function potentials as pedagogical, mathematical and physical models in quantum mechanics

M Belloni, RW Robinett - Physics Reports, 2014 - Elsevier
The infinite square well and the attractive Dirac delta function potentials are arguably two of
the most widely used models of one-dimensional bound-state systems in quantum …

Quantum transients

A del Campo, G García-Calderón, JG Muga - Physics Reports, 2009 - Elsevier
Quantum transients are temporary features of matter waves before they reach a stationary
regime. Transients may arise after the preparation of an unstable initial state or due to a …

Quantum effective force in an expanding infinite square-well potential and Bohmian perspective

SV Mousavi - Physica Scripta, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The Schrödinger equation is solved for the case of a particle confined to a small region of a
box with infinite walls. If the walls of the well are moved, then, due to an effective quantum …
