SUMMARY
The term "non-degenerate spectrum of bound states" in quantum mechanics (QM) refers to the condition where no two bound states possess the same energy level. This concept is crucial for understanding the unique energy states of a quantum system. Additionally, the time-independent Schrödinger equation exhibits reflection invariance, meaning that the solutions remain unchanged under the transformation of coordinates from x to -x, which also applies to the time coordinate.
