Perturbation Theory

This exercise takes students through parts of Chapter 7 in D.J. Griffiths' book Quantum Mechanics, Third Edition. In addition, students work through Problem 7.1 using the flowfile.

If you would like to use this exercise in your course but your students do not have access to the Griffiths text, please let us know and we can modify this exercise accordingly.

The exercise covers time-independent perturbation theory, particularly in a perturbed square well potential.

There are two flowfiles needed for this exercise; both are linked below.

 

Key words and phrases: time-independent perturbation theory, full offset well, half-offset well, well with delta function perturbation
