Abstract
In the previous chapters, we used separation of variables to reduce the Schrödinger’s equation to the time-independent Schrödinger’s equation, and showcased various techniques and methods to determine the energy eigenstates. This is an extremely useful approach when bound states need to be determined and investigated, and is used to analyse atoms, molecules, and other diverse structures.
