Semicircular potential well
In quantum mechanics, the case of a particle in a one-dimensional ring is similar to the particle in a box. The particle follows the path of a semicircle from 0 to \pi where it cannot escape, because the potential from \pi to 2 \pi is infinite. Instead there is total reflection, meaning the particle bounces back and forth between 0 to \pi . The Schrödinger equation for a free particle which is restricted to a semicircle (technically, whose configuration space is the circle S^1) is
: -\frac\nabla^2 \psi = E\psi \quad (1)
== Wave function ==

Using cylindrical coordinates on the 1-dimensional semicircle, the wave function depends only on the angular coordinate, and so
: \nabla^2 = \frac \frac \quad (2)
Substituting the Laplacian in cylindrical coordinates, the wave function is therefore expressed as
: -\frac \frac = E\psi \quad (3)
The moment of inertia for a semicircle, best expressed in cylindrical coordinates, is I \ \stackrel\ \iiint_V r^2 \,\rho(r,\phi,z)\,r dr\,d\phi\,dz \!. Solving the integral, one finds that the moment of inertia of a semicircle is I=m s^2 , exactly the same for a hoop of the same radius. The wave function can now be expressed as -\frac \frac = E\psi , which is easily solvable.
Since the particle cannot escape the region from 0 to \pi , the general solution to this differential equation is
: \ \psi (\phi) = A \cos(m \phi) + B \sin (m \phi) \quad (4)
Defining m=\sqrt } , we can calculate the energy as E= \frac . We then apply the boundary conditions, where \psi and \frac are continuous and the wave function is normalizable:
: \int_^ \left| \psi ( \phi ) \right|^2 \, d\phi = 1\ \quad (5) .
Like the infinite square well, the first boundary condition demands that the wave function equals 0 at both \phi = 0 and \phi = \pi . Basically
: \ \psi (0) = \psi (\pi) = 0 \quad (6) .
Since the wave function \ \psi(0) = 0 , the coefficient A must equal 0 because \ \cos (0) = 1 . The wave function also equals 0 at \phi= \pi so we must apply this boundary condition. Discarding the trivial solution where B=0, the wave function \ \psi (\pi) = 0 = B \sin (m \pi) only when m is an integer since \sin (n \pi) = 0 . This boundary condition quantizes the energy where the energy equals E= \frac where m is any integer. The condition m=0 is ruled out because \psi = 0 everywhere, meaning that the particle is not in the potential at all. Negative integers are also ruled out.
We then normalize the wave function, yielding a result where B= \sqrt} . The normalized wave function is
: \ \psi (\phi) = \sqrt} \sin (m \phi) \quad (7) .
The ground state energy of the system is E= \frac . Like the particle in a box, there exists nodes in the excited states of the system where both \ \psi (\phi) and \ \psi (\phi) ^2 are both 0, which means that the probability of finding the particle at these nodes are 0.
