Deep learning neural network for approaching Schrödinger problems with arbitrary two-dimensional confinement

This article presents an approach to the two-dimensional Schrodinger equation based on automatic learning methods with neural networks. It is intended to determine the ground state of a particle confined in any two-dimensional potential, starting from the knowledge of the solutions to a large number of arbitrary sample problems. A network architecture with two hidden layers is proposed to predict the wave function and energy of the ground state. Several accuracy indicators are proposed for validating the estimates provided by the neural network. The testing of the trained network is done by applying it to a large set of confinement potentials different from those used in the learning process. Some particular cases with symmetrical potentials are solved as concrete examples, and a good network prediction accuracy is found.
