   * Modify your code in the previous step so that it calculates $\langle nl|V|n'​l\rangle$ for any user-supplied potential $V(r)$. ​   * Modify your code in the previous step so that it calculates $\langle nl|V|n'​l\rangle$ for any user-supplied potential $V(r)$. ​
  
-  * 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 $H$. 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 $l=0$.

-  * 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. ​
