An improved algorithm for reconstructing reflectionless potentials

Quantum Physics 2015-01-20 v1

Abstract

A fully algebraic approach to reconstructing one-dimensional reflectionless potentials is described. A simple and easily applicable general formula is derived, using the methods of the theory of determinants. In particular, useful properties of special determinants - the alternants - have been exploited. The main formula takes an especially simple form if one aims to reconstruct a symmetric reflectionless potential. Several examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the method.
