摘要
A general quantum mechanical curvature theorem of the form d(2)epsilon/d lambda(2) <= <psi vertical bar d(2)H/d lambda(2)vertical bar psi) is established by means of perturbational-variational theory; here, psi and epsilon are the exact eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the Schrodinger time-independent equation, H is the Hamilton operator, and lambda is any real parameter occurring in H. The theorem is also established for arbitrary optimum variational solutions to the Schrodinger equation. Several applications of the curvature theorem are discussed in conjunction with perturbation theory and the stability of approximate wave functions.
