(3) Consider the Hamiltonian given as Ĥ = + + Fx , where each term has a clear physical meaning.
2m 2
Specifically, we have a particle in a harmonic potential energy subjected to a uniform external force F. What
is the energy spectrum of this Hamiltonian? Explain why the result makes sense and use a sketch of the
potential energy as a function of x. Hint: Complete the square, and use problem 2 as a guide.
