Mathematical Problems of Quantum Mechanics

Review of the previous problems:
1) particle in a box (potential of the infintely deep well);
2) free particle in the space (zero potential everywhere);
3) parabolic potential of the harmonic oscillator (Hook's Law),
comparison to potential of diatomic molecules (Morse potential)

Probability density distribution of the Gaussian wave packet for
deep potential weel:
