    Graduate Symmetric Potentials - Eigenstates & Ground States

    Hi, Can anyone help me to understand the following please? If a potential is symmetric does this mean that the eigenstates are either symmetric or antisymmetric? Is the ground state always symmetric and the first excited state always antisymmetric? Thanks!
