We consider in detail the quantum-mechanical problem associated with the motion of a one-dimensional particle under the action of the double-well potential. Our main tool will be the euclidean (imaginary time) version of the path-integral…
Perturbation theory, the quasiclassical approximation and the quantum surface of section method are combined for the first time. This gives a new solution of the the long standing problem of quantizing the resonances generically appearing…
We reconsider the quantization of symbols defined on the product between a nilpotent Lie algebra and its dual. To keep track of the non-commutative group background, the Lie algebra is endowed with the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff product,…
This paper is concerned with the efficient numerical treatment of 1D stationary Schr\"odinger equations in the semi-classical limit when including a turning point of first order. For the considered scattering problems we show that the wave…
Two-body interactions of elementary particles are useful in particle and nuclear physics to describe qualitatively and quantitatively few- and many-body systems. We are extending for this purpose the quantum inversion approach for systems…
Focusing particularly on one-qubit and two-qubit systems, I explain how the quantum state of a system of n qubits can be expressed as a real function--a generalized Wigner function--on a discrete 2^n x 2^n phase space. The phase space is…
We discuss Cahn's time cone method modeling phase transformation kinetics. The model equation by the time cone method is an integral equation in the space-time region. First we reduce it to a system of hyperbolic equations, and in the case…
We apply the stationary phase method developed in (Assier, Shanin \& Korolkov, QJMAM, 76(1), 2022) to the problem of wave diffraction by a quarter-plane. The wave field is written as a double Fourier transform of an unknown spectral…
The conditions under which a given manifold $M$ may be given a tangent bundle or a cotangent bundle structure are analyzed. This is an important property arising in different contexts. For instance, in the study of integrability of a given…
Quantum mechanical phase space path integrals are re-examined with regard to the physical interpretation of the phase space variables involved. It is demonstrated that the traditional phase space path integral implies a meaning for the…
Wave equations with energy-dependent potentials appear in many areas of physics, ranging from nuclear physics to black hole perturbation theory. In this work, we use the semi-classical WKB method to first revisit the computation of bound…
We introduce a new theoretical framework based on Feynman diagrams to compute phase shifts in matter wave interferometry. The method allows for analytic computation of higher order quantum corrections, beyond the traditional semi-classical…
The investigation of the Hamiltonian dynamical counterpart of phase transitions, combined with the Riemannian geometrization of Hamiltonian dynamics, has led to a preliminary formulation of a differential-topological theory of phase…
Geometrical optics (GO) is widely used for reduced modeling of waves in plasmas but fails near reflection points, where it predicts a spurious singularity of the wave amplitude. We show how to avoid this singularity by adopting a different…
Extended formulation of Full Waveform Inversion (FWI), called Wavefield Reconstruction Inversion (WRI), offers potential benefits of decreasing the nonlinearity of the inverse problem by replacing the explicit inverse of the ill-conditioned…
We construct a semiclassical theory for propagation of an optical wavepacket in non-conducting media with periodic structures of dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability, i.e., non-conducting photonic crystals. We employ a…
The present work is the continuation of the investigation of aspects of wave turbulence in preheating we have started in Refs. [1, 2] but considering several classes of inflationary two-fields models. We exhibit the main elements of the…
Quantum tunneling in a many-body system is much more non-trivial than that in a one-body system. The most characteristic phenomenon is the mixed tunneling, which has been studied in many fields for decades. For instance, let us consider a…
Phase-space electronic structure theory offers up a new and powerful approach for tackling problems with coupled nuclear-electronic dynamics in a fashion that goes beyond Born-Oppenheimer (BO) theory. Whereas BO theory stipulates that we…
Modes generally provide an economical description of waves, reducing complicated wave functions to finite numbers of mode amplitudes, as in propagating fiber modes and ideal laser beams. But finding a corresponding mode description for…
