Clarified nr of bound states vs max quantum nr in PoschlTeller #63

Closed lhapp27 closed 3 months ago

lhapp27 commented 3 months ago

I clarified the difference between the number of bound states and the maximum quantum number in the documentation for the Pöschl-Teller model. The same issue should exist for models in which we count n from 0, and which have a finite number of bound states, i.e. the Morse potential.

I'm sorry for not updating the fork before merging, hence leading to "conflicts".

Please see 2 pages:

The changes are as follows:

I updated changed "Number of Bound States" to "Maximum Quantum Number" (68db3f5).
I added tests for nr of bound states vs max quantum nr in PoschlTeller and MorsePotential (b331273). $0 < E_{n+1} - En$ must be satisfied for $0 \leq n \leq n\mathrm{max}$.

I tthink all you have to do is change the docstrings.
