contents We give simple new proofs of two well-known results for the Schrödinger operator: first, the Brunn--Minkowski inequality for Dirichlet eigenvalues and, second, the log-concavity of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction. Our proof of the first applies to a class of domains including $C^{1,1}$ connected domains and convex potentials. In the special case of convex domains, the second result is a simple corollary.
