Quantum solid in a quantum solid the dominant repulsive energy is the zero-point energy of the atoms.

Question:

Quantum solid in a quantum solid the dominant repulsive energy is the zero-point energy of the atoms. Consider a crude one-dimensional model of crystalline He4 with each he atom confined to a line segment of length L. In the ground state the wave function within each segment is taken as a half wavelength of a free particle. Find the zero point kinetic energy per particle.
