- | * Using the analytical expressions for the kinetic energy matrix elements $\langle nl|T|n'l\rangle$,construct the hamilton matrix $\langle nl|H|n'l\rangle$ for the hydrogen atom for $l=0$. Keep HO basis states $n,n'<N_{max}$ and diagonalize it. For a given $N_{max}$ value, repeat the calculation at different HO frequencies and plot the ground state energy versus $\omega$ (or the oscillator length scale, defined as $b=\sqrt{\hbar/(m\omega)}$. | + | * Using the analytical expressions for the kinetic energy matrix elements $\langle nl|T|n'l\rangle$,construct the hamilton matrix $\langle nl|H|n'l\rangle$ for the hydrogen atom for $l=0$.

For a given $N_{max}$ value, repeat the calculation at different HO frequencies and plot the ground state energy versus $\omega$ (or the oscillator length scale, defined as $b=\sqrt{\hbar/(m\omega)}$. Hopefully, you find that as $N_{max}$ increases, the ground state begins to approach the exact result of -$.5$ in natural units. |

- | * Construct the hamilton matrix $\langle nl|H|n'l\rangle$ keeping all HO basis states $n,n'<N_{max}$. Diagonalize the matrix for increasing $N_{max}$ values for different values of the oscillator length parameter $b$ ("oscl" in the code.) $b$ and $\hbar\omega$ are related by $b = \sqrt{(\hbar/(m\omega)}$. Plot your lowest eigenvalue for each $N_{max}$ as a function of $b$ (or $\hbar\omega$). | ||

- | * Construct a subroutine that returns relative HO matrix elements of the Minnesota NN potential. The definition of the Minnesota potential and a sketch of how to proceed will be given on the black board. | ||
