(100pts) For full credit show ALL work. The variational method is commonly used in various guises in physics to determine the quantum ground states of solids. One of the properties of ground states is that they are local minima with respect to some parameter (in this case μ ) thus they are the "lowest energy state" one can obtain as a function of this parameter. Consider a "hydrogen like" atom. Assume the electron is n the (r)-Be-u state, where B...
