Odd bound state of a symmetric double-delta potential (source code)

= Odd bound state of a symmetric double-delta potential

For $U_0<0$, an odd bound state has $k=i\kappa$ with $\kappa>0$ and obeys
$$
2\kappa=-U_0\left(1-e^{-2\kappa a}\right).
$$
A nonzero positive solution exists exactly when $-U_0a>1$; equality is the zero-energy threshold.
