THE TIME-INDEPENDENT SCHR ¨ODINGER EQUATIONChapter 2The Time-Independent Schr¨odingerEquationProblem 2.1(a)Ψ(x, t) =ψ(x)e−i(E0+iΓ)t/ℏ=ψ(x)eΓt/ℏe−iE0t/ℏ=⇒ |Ψ|2=|ψ|2e2Γt/ℏ.∫∞−∞|Ψ(x, t)|2dx=e2Γt/ℏ∫∞−∞|ψ|2dx.The second term is independent oft, so if the product is to be 1 for all time, the first term (e2Γt/ℏ) mustalso be constant, and hence Γ = 0.QED(b)Ifψsatisfies Eq. 2.5,−ℏ22md2ψdx2+V ψ=Eψ, then (taking the complex conjugate and noting thatVandEare real):−ℏ22md2ψ∗dx2+V ψ∗=Eψ∗, soψ∗alsosatisfies Eq. 2.5. Now, ifψ1andψ2satisfy Eq. 2.5, sotoo does any linear combination of them (ψ3≡c1ψ1+c2ψ2):−ℏ22md2ψ3dx2+V ψ3=−ℏ22m(c1d2ψ1dx2+c2d2ψ2dx2)+V(c1ψ1+c2ψ2)=c1[−ℏ22md2ψ1dx2+V ψ1]+c2[−ℏ22md2ψ2dx2+V ψ2]=c1(Eψ1) +c2(Eψ2) =E(c1ψ1+c2ψ2) =Eψ3.Thus, (ψ+ψ∗) andi(ψ−ψ∗) – both of which arereal– satisfy Eq. 2.5.Conclusion:From any complexsolution, we can always construct tworealsolutions (of course, ifψis already real, the second one will bezero). In particular, sinceψ=12[(ψ+ψ∗)−i(i(ψ−ψ∗))], ψcan be expressed as a linear combination oftwo real solutions.QED(c)Ifψ(x) satisfies Eq. 2.5, then, changing variablesx→ −xand noting thatd2/d(−x)2=d2/dx2,−ℏ22md2ψ(−x)dx2+V(−x)ψ(−x) =Eψ(−x);so ifV(−x) =V(x) thenψ(−x)alsosatisfies Eq. 2.5. It follows thatψ+(x)≡ψ(x) +ψ(−x) (which iseven:ψ+(−x) =ψ+(x)) andψ−(x)≡ψ(x)−ψ(−x) (which isodd:ψ−(−x) =−ψ−(x)) both satisfy Eq.2.5. Butψ(x) =12(ψ+(x) +ψ−(x)), so any solution can be expressed as a linear combination of even andodd solutions.QED
