I know that Schrodinger equation for 1 dimension is given by: $-u''+qu=\lambda u$ and if I want to work on a system for say 2 dimensions, the system would be: \begin{equation} \left(\begin{array}{c} -u_1''\\ -u_2'' \end{array}\right) +\left(\begin{array}{cc} q_1 & q_2\\ q_3 & q_4\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c} u_1 \\ u_2 \end{array}\right) =\lambda \left(\begin{array}{c} u_1 \\ u_2 \end{array}\right) \end{equation} My question is: is this system right and does make sense? and if the q in 1 dimension is periodic can I make the matrix $Q$ in this system: \begin{equation} Q=\left(\begin{array}{cc} q_1 & q_2\\ q_3 & q_4\end{array}\right) \end{equation} to be periodic? If this system I made is correct, is there any examples for this case of system in quantum mechanics or other field of applications?

1System looks right, this equation does appear for multi particle systems, when you consider the tensor product of Hilbert spaces. – rednexela1941 Apr 03 '18 at 20:51

Can you recommend some references which talk about this system? – S.N.A Apr 04 '18 at 10:06

Maybe have a look at the treatment of magnetic resonance in Townsends book "A Modern Approach to Quantum Mechanics" – rednexela1941 Apr 04 '18 at 21:39
