Abstract
In this article, the golden Riemannian Laplacian operator was constructed using the golden metric tensor in spherical polar coordinate and was applied to the Schrodinger wave equation in order to obtain the golden Riemannian Schrodinger equation for a particle in a finite-potential well. The results are that the golden Riemannian Laplacian operator and golden Riemannian Schrodinger equation were augmented with additional correction terms; which are not found in the existing equations and can be applied to a finite-potential well problem, so as to obtain the expression for the allowed energy values
