Wow! Is that all i need to do? That is far easier than i expected. i will attempt to generate the ground state energy tomorrow morning. I was attempting to evaluate the expression in a much more general case. I suspect that the integral will be zero and require a second order approximation, but...

nickjer, Thank you for the reply. I do need to apply pertubation theory to solve this problem. The problem I am facing involves having the X operator of the perturbing potential "locked up" inside a trigometric function. If I were to expand the trig function in a Taylor Series I could then...

Homework Statement I am tasked with solving the QHO with a sinusoidal perturbing potential of the form VoSIN(BX). I need to find the ground state energy as well as the ground state eigenket |g>.Homework Equations H_{o} = \frac{P^{2}}{2m} + \frac{1}{2}m \varpi^{2} H = H_{o} + Asin(BX)...
