## Abstract

Within the framework of fractional quantum mechanics, an exact solution has been found for the energy spectrum of a quantum particle confined in a quantum well - a symmetric one-dimensional finite potential well. A simple graphical algorithm is described for obtaining the number of discrete levels in a quantum well and their associated energy values. The presented results open up new possibilities for emulating fractional quantum mechanics using quantum wells.
