A particle confined to a plane moving in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to that plane can be described by the Hamiltonian H=2m1(−iℏ∂x∂+2ceBy)2+2m1(−iℏ∂y∂−2ceBx)2. This corresponds to choosing the vector potential in the form A=21B×r, where B points along the z-axis. Also the charge is defined as e>0. Find the energy levels s of the corresponding Schrödinger equation Hψ=Eψ. Find also the wave functions corresponding the lowest Landau level states (no need to find the wave functions of higher energy states).
