An application of a quantum wave impedance approach for solving a nonsymmetric single well problem

Abstract

A short introduction of a relation between a Green's function and a quantum wave impedance function as well as its application to a determination of eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of a quatum-mechanical system is provided. Three different approaches, namely a classical approach based on a direct solving of a Shr\"{o}dinger equation, a transfer matrix method and a quantum wave impedance technique, for a calculation of eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of a quantum mechanical nonsymmetric single well system are considered. A comparision of these approaches gives the possibility to clarify advantages and drawbacks of each method which is useful especially for teaching and learning purposes.
