Abstract

In this paper, we generalize the application of the Levi-Civita (L-C) and Kustaanheimo-Stiefel (K-S) regularization methods to quantum mechanical systems in two and three dimensions. Schrödinger equations in two and three dimensions, describing a particle moving under the combined influence of 1 r and r2 potentials are mapped to that of a harmonic oscillator with inverted sextic potential, and interactions, in two and four dimensions, respectively. Using the perturbative solutions of the latter systems, we derive the eigen spectrum of the former systems. Using Bohlin-Sundmann transformation, a mapping between the Schrödinger equations describing shifted harmonic oscillator and H-atom is also derived. Exploiting this equivalence, the solution to the former is obtained from the solution of the latter.
