consider a particle with charge e moving under three dimensional isotropic harmonic potential l

in an electric field Find the eigen states and eigen values of the patricle

the Hamiltonian of the system is:

we seprate the Hamiltonian () where

Notice that are identical to the Hamiltonian of the one dimensional harmonic oscillator, so we can write the wave function

, whereFailed to parse (unknown function "\math"): {\displaystyle \psi _{2}(y)<\math>, and }
\psi _{3}(z) </math>are the wave functions of the one dimensional harmonic oscillator:
