Thickness of Quantum Well ??

As I know there are two quantum wells exist.

1. Single Quantum Well
2. Multiple Quantum Well

My ques is that : How to find the thickness of a quantum well ? is there any equation to find quantum well thickness ? for single or multiple ?

Usually I have look on papers they just simply put the thickness they have used in their modeling and experimental but not given from where they got it.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of well and what kind of papers are you talking about?
 

Thread 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Thread 'Is Maxwell's electromagnetism an effective (field) theory?'

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
