By solving the Schrodinger equations in three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) finite depth center spherically symmetric square potential well, the eigenequations of bounded energy levels and their distributions are obtained, and the analytical solution for any bound state wave function is given. Both the eigenequations of the energy levels as well as the stationary state wave functions are closely related to the (spherical) Bessel functions. It is found that for the 3D case, there exists a bound solution when 2μa2V0/ħ22/4 is present. While for the 2D case, there exists a bound state if 2μa2V0/ħ2>0.1993. Finally, numerical methods are used to analyze the characteristics of probability density distribution of different quantum states. It is found that in both three-dimensional and two-dimensional situations, the maximum number of probability density distributions inside the well corresponds exactly to the quantum number n. The larger n or the smaller α is, the higher the probability of discovering particles outside the well. In addition, the angular momentum quantum number l or m can characterize the degree to which particles deviate from the center or the uniform distribution.
