If you mean "merge", I disagree. These articles discuss rather different physical systems with quite distinct behaviour. They don't have much in common to be merged. Bamse 01:13, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Both articles discuss a potential well consisting of a delta function. Both use the schrodinger equation to solve for states. At the moment one discusses scattering states and the other discusses the bound state. They both could easily be merged. JabberWok 01:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Oh, sorry. I was under the impression that Delta function potential has a positive potential energy (barrier). Should read more carefully next time. Merge! (preferably under "Delta potential well" which is a more specific heading) Bamse 05:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
