Quantum Mechanics in Coordinate and Moment Representations Through Three Simple Problems

In this paper we present the solution of the stationary Schrödinger equation in the coordinates and momentumrepresentations for three simple problems: the linear potential, the harmonic oscillator and the Dirac deltapotential. We verify through explicit calculation that the wave functions obtained i...

description In this paper we present the solution of the stationary Schrödinger equation in the coordinates and momentumrepresentations for three simple problems: the linear potential, the harmonic oscillator and the Dirac deltapotential. We verify through explicit calculation that the wave functions obtained in each representationare connected through the Fourier transform, showing that both solutions constitute two complementaryrepresentations of the same quantum state. From a pedagogical point of view, this shows that both solutionscontain information of equal theoretical value and constitute two complementary representations.

En este trabajo presentamos la solución de la ecuación de Schrödinger estacionaria en la representaciónde coordenadas y de momento para tres problemas sencillos: el potencial lineal, el oscilador armónicoy el potencial tipo delta de Dirac. Verificamos a través del cálculo explícito que las funciones de ondaobtenidas en cada representación están conectadas a través de la transformada de Fourier, mostrando queambas soluciones constituyen dos representaciones complementarias del mismo estado cuántico. Desde unpunto de vista pedagógico esto muestra que ambas soluciones contienen información de igual valor teóricoy constituyen dos representaciones complementarias.
