, where
, and are the wave functions of the one dimensional harmonic oscillator:
The equation of the is
changing variables to
we obtain the diffrential equation for a one dimensional harmonic oscillator with the solution
The quantization condition in this case is so the energy eigenvalues are
In conclusion,the wave functions are
