Problem

A particle of mass mm moves in the potential V(x)=−λ δ(x−a)−λ δ(x+a)  ,λ>0  .V(x) = -\lambda\,\delta(x-a) - \lambda\,\delta(x+a) \;,\quad \lambda > 0\;. (a) Give the (transcendental) equations for the two bound states of the system and estimate the difference of their energy levels for large aa. (b) Calculate the transmission coefficient for the above potential for λ<0\lambda < 0.
