Solving quantum mechanical models (QMMs) means finding the quantum mechanical wave function. Therefore, great attention has been paid to finding solutions for QMMs. In this study, a novel algorithm that combines the conformable Shehu transform and the Adomian decomposition method is presented that establishes approximate and exact solutions to QMMs in the sense of conformable derivatives with zero and nonzero trapping potentials. This solution algorithm is known as the conformable Shehu transform decomposition method (CSTDM). To evaluate the efficiency of this algorithm, the numerical results in terms of absolute and relative errors were compared with the reduced differential transform and the two-dimensional differential transform methods. The comparison showed excellent agreement with these methods, which means that the CSTDM is a suitable alternative tool to the methods based on the Caputo derivative for the solutions of time-fractional QMMs. The advantage of employing this approach is that, due to the use of the conformable Shehu transform, the pattern between the coefficients of the series solutions makes it simple to obtain the exact solution of both linear and nonlinear problems. Consequently, our approach is quick, accurate, and easy to implement. The convergence, uniqueness, and error analysis of the solution were examined using Banach\u2019s fixed point theory.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym15030744","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]],"date-time":"2023-03-20T05:46:42Z","timestamp":1679291202000},"page":"744","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Approximate and Exact Solutions in the Sense of Conformable Derivatives of Quantum Mechanics Models Using a Novel Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Muhammad Imran","family":"Liaqat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Abdus Salam School of Mathematical Sciences, Government College University, 68-B, New MuslimTown, Lahore 54600, Pakistan"},{"name":"Department of Mathematics, National College of Business Administration & Economics, Lahore 54000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9832-1424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Akg\u00fcl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Mathematics, Lebanese American University, Beirut P.O.
