For a normalizable state take . inverse construction of a quantum potential gives . differentiation yields , so the chosen potential energy zero fixes . ThusThis energy lies above the negative minima of the potential energy; its zero value does not mean zero kinetic energy. The nodeless eigenfunction is the ground state.
