# Pseudocode: # trial psi(r) = N * exp(-alpha * r) # compute expectation E(alpha) = ⟨ψ|Ĥ|ψ⟩/⟨ψ|ψ⟩ # minimize E w.r.t. alpha to estimate ground-state energy and optimal alpha. ( V(x) = 0 ) for ( 0

( V(x) = 0 ) for ( 0 < x < L ), ( V = \infty ) elsewhere. Boundary conditions: ( \psi(0) = \psi(L) = 0 ).
