A solution of the scattering problem is obtained for the Schr\"odinger equation with the potential of induced dipole interaction, which decreases as the inverse square of the distance. Such a potential arises in the collision of an incident…
A set of zero-range scatterers along its axis lifts the integrability of a harmonic waveguide. Effective solution of the Schr\"odinger equation for this model is possible due to the separable nature of the scatterers and millions of…
