Hello all,
I need to understand how to find eigenfunctions and eigenvalues in a state of Triangular quantum well,
It would consist of two triangle.
Tnx a lot.

You might want to look up Airy Functions.
how can I make a relation between it and triangular well plus schrodinger eq. in order to find eigenfunctions?

This is described on the Wikipedia page (you may need to rescale x and y to get to the same differential equation though).
 
Thanks a lot.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

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!
