Following "Computational Physics" by J. M. Thijssen
- I've read chapters 1, 2(skimmed), and 3
The attached notebook contains:
- the code for diagonalizing a matrix
- solutions for potential using a linear combination of wave functions in an infinite square well
- eigenvalues and vectors of ( the inverse( of the overlap matrix, "spread" matrix) times the hamiltonian of the wave functions)
- solving the generalized eigenvalue problem.
- graphs showing the "real" wave functions as a linear combination of the basis wave functions
- solutions for a particle in a Coulomb potential using a basis of 4 Gaussian wave functions
To Do
- document
- compare the two methods: inverse spread, versus general eignvale problem (GEP).
- begin chapter on hartree-fock
