Abstract

We review recent results obtained in the scattering theory of dissipative quantum systems representing the long-time evolution of a system SS interacting with another system SS' and susceptible of being absorbed by SS'. The effective dynamics of SS is generated by an operator of the form H=H0+ViCCH = H_0 + V - \mathrm{i} C^* C on the Hilbert space of the pure states of SS, where H0H_0 is the self-adjoint generator of the free dynamics of SS, VV is symmetric and CC is bounded. The main example is a neutron interacting with a nucleus in the nuclear optical model. We recall the basic objects of the scattering theory for the pair (H,H0)(H,H_0), as well as the results, proven in arXiv:1703.09018 and arXiv:1808.09179, on the spectral singularities of HH and the asymptotic completeness of the wave operators. Next, for the nuclear optical model, we show that asymptotic completeness generically holds.
