• Abstract: How does the inclusion of the gravitational potential alter an otherwise exact quantum mechanical result? This question motivates this report, with the answer determined from an edited version of problem #12 on p.273 of Ref.1. To elaborate, we begin with the Hamiltonian associated with the system of two masses in the problem obeying Hooke's law and vibrating about their equilibrium positions in one dimension; the Schrodinger equation for the reduced mass is then solved to obtain the parabolic cylinder functions as eigenfunctions and the eigenvalues of the reduced Hamiltonian are calculated exactly. Parenthetically,the quantum mechanics of a bounded linear harmonic oscillator was perhaps first studied by Auluck and Kothari[2]. The introduction of the gravitational potential in the aforesaid Schrodinger equation alters the eigenfunctions to the biconfluent HeunB function[3]; and the eigenvalues are the determined from a recent series expansion[4] in terms of the Hermite functions for the solution of the differential equation whose exact solution is the aforesaid HeunB function.

  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

  We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
