Hello,

My question is about the calculation of phase shifts δl in scattering theory.
Some article mention that we can obtain phase shifts by numerically solving the radial Schrodinger equation but I'm not sure how to do it.
Do you know how to proceed? is there any code (python, c ++, ...) already written to do it?

Thanks in advance !

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
