Abstract:

This paper discussed the digitization of some analytical solutions of the fundamental equation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger equation, in the Python programming environment. The main objective of the work is to automate the solution of several known analytically solvable problems of quantum mechanics and ensure their use in more complex problems. For this purpose, the Python programming environment was chosen, which, due to the large number of libraries and flexibility, is currently widely used in solving physical and mathematical problems. In the program we propose, which is available on the GitHub platform, it is solved easily. The problem of determining the probability of the spatial distribution of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom is discussed. The Schrödinger equation is presented in the spherical coordinate system. The wave function, describing the electron's state, quantized energy values, and probability density, is derived analytically. A recursive function was written in Python to handle the series coefficients defining the wave function. Utilizing relevant libraries, the resulting program constructs electron spatial distribution functions for different excitation levels. The paper then examines two one-dimensional tunneling scenarios and provides the tunneling coefficients in analytical form. A Python program was developed to plot the dependence of these coefficients on the particle's coordinate and energy. All the code is available on GitHub.
