Calculation of eigenvalues by Greens-functions and the Lippmann-Schwinger equation

Abstract: We calculate eigenvalues of one-dimensional quantum-systems by the exact numerical solution of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, analogous to the scattering problem. To illustrate our method, we treat elementary problems: the harmonic and quartic oscillator, a symmetric and a skew double-well potential, and potentials with finite and infinite depth. Furthermore, we show how our method can be used for eigenvalue-engineering.
