Abstract
A quantum anharmonic oscillator in the ground state has been considered under the conditions of loading with an external force. The wave functions have been calculated for different forces, and the eigenvalues of the energy of the system have been determined as a function of the load. It has been established that the zero-point energy of the oscillator varies linearly with a variation in the force (decreases under tension and increases under compression) and that the average kinetic and potential components of the energy are also characterized by linear variations.
