Given the lowest eigenvalue $E_0$ of an Schrödinguer operator, do the other energies $ E_{n} $ for $ n >0 $ depend strongly on the lowest eigenvalue of the system? I mean, if we somehow fixed the eigenvalue $E_{0}$, could we get more or at least better approximations to the other eigenenergies of the system?

thanks

No. The differences between the eigenvalues (giving the spectral frequencies) are highly specific for each chemical substance, so knowledge of $E_0$ tells very little about the remainder of the spectrum.
