A Numerical Approach for the Solution of Schrödinger Equation With Pseudo-Gaussian Potentials

The Schrödinger equation with pseudo-Gaussian potential is investigated. The pseudo-Gaussian potential can be written as an infinite power series. Technically, by an ansatz to the wave-functions, exact solutions can be found by analytic approach [12]. However, to calculate the solutions for each sta...
