Modelling of a diatomic molecule as a simple quantum harmonic oscillator. An alternative perspective

Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Physics - Quantum Physics, grade: 2.00, , language: English, abstract: In this paper, a diatomic molecule is modelled as a simple quantum harmonic oscillator. The conventional solution of the Time-Independent Schrödinger equation (TISE) yields the wave function as the product of a Gaussian and Hermite polynomials. It is argued that the limits set f...
