Abstract

One dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator is well studied in elementary textbooks of quantum mechanics. The wave function of one-dimensional oscillator harmonic can be written in term of Hermite polynomial. Due to the symmetry of the spring energy, the wave functions of two-dimensional and three-dimensional harmonic oscillators can be written as products of the one-dimensional case. Because of that, the wave functions of two- and three-dimensional cases are focused on cartesian coordinates. In this article, we utilize polar and spherical coordinates to describe the wave function of two- and three-dimensional harmonic oscillators, respectively. The radial part of the wave functions can be written in term of associated Laguerre polynomials.
