Exploring Quantum Physics - Final Exam Part 1 Question 6/7

Question:

Given a system with non-positive energy and energy = 0 at infinity, do it have a bound state.

Solution:

For delta potential, we already know the answer, for 1 or 2 dimension we have bound state but for 3 we don't.

A reasonable conjecture, would then be, to conjecture we always have bound state for 1 or 2 dimension potential well, and may or may not have a bound state for 3 dimension.

It turns out to be true. See this as a theorem.
