  Some aspects of asymptotic freedom are discussed in the context of a simple
two-particle non-relativisitic confining potential model. In this model
asymptotic freedom follows from the similarity of the free-particle and bound
state radial wave functions at small distances and for the same angular
momentum and the same large energy. This similarity, which can be understood
using simple quantum mechanical arguments, can be used to show that the exact
response function approaches that obtained when final state interactions are
ignored. A method of calculating corrections to this limit is given and
explicit examples are given for the case of the harmonic oscillator.
