ERS approximation for solving Schrödinger’s equation and applications

A new technique was recently developed to approximate the solution of the Schrödinger equation. This approximation (dubbed ERS) is shown to yield a better accuracy than the WKB-approximation. Here, we review the ERS approximation and its application to one and three-dimensional systems. In particula...

Description
Summary:A new technique was recently developed to approximate the solution of the Schrödinger equation. This approximation (dubbed ERS) is shown to yield a better accuracy than the WKB-approximation. Here, we review the ERS approximation and its application to one and three-dimensional systems. In particular, we treat bound state solutions. We further focus on random potentials in a quantum wire and discuss the solution in the context of Anderson localization. Keywords: ERS approximation, Schrödinger solution, Random media
