The exact wave functions that describe scattering of a charged particle by a confined magnetic field (Aharonov-Bohm effect) and by a Coulomb field are analyzed. It is well known that the usual procedure of finding asymptotic forms of these…
Background: An accurate way to incorporate long range Coulomb interaction alongside short-range nuclear interaction has been a challenge for theoretical physicists. Purpose: In this paper, we propose a methodology based on the reference…
Based on the work of Nuttall and Cohen [Phys. Rev. {\bf 188} (1969) 1542] and Resigno et al{} [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 55} (1997) 4253] we present a rigorous formalism for solving the scattering problem for long-range interactions without using…
We outline a global approach to scattering theory in one dimension that allows for the description of a large class of scattering systems and their $\mathcal{P}$-, $\mathcal{T}$-, and $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetries. In particular, we…
We explore the opportunities of using electron scattering by screened Coulomb potential as a tool to retrieve properties of the relativistic vortex beams of electrons, such as their transverse momentum and orbital angular momentum (OAM). We…
We analyze the scattering dynamics and spectrum of a quantum particle on a tight-binding lattice subject to a non-Hermitian (purely imaginary) local potential. The reflection, transmission and absorption coefficients are studied as a…
In this paper we suggest a new approach for the multichannel Coulomb scattering problem. The Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the problem is reformulated in the form of a set of inhomogeneous equations with a finite-range driving term. The…
Recent experiments performed on weakly pinched quantum point contacts, have shown a resistance that tend to decrease at low source drain voltage. We show that enhanced Coulomb interactions, prompt by the presence of the point contact, may…

At the lower edge of the energy continuum the birth of an isolated quantum bound state is studied as caused by an infinitesimally small change of the interaction. In our model a single, asymptotically free massive quantum particle is…
We show that and how the Coulomb potential can be regularized and solved exactly at the imaginary couplings. The new spectrum of energies is real and bounded as expected, but its explicit form proves totally different from the usual…
The original Calogero and Sutherland models describe N quantum particles on the line interacting pairwise through an inverse square and an inverse sinus-square potential. They are well known to be integrable and solvable. Here we extend the…
We discuss electron scattering in a one-dimensional delta barrier potential with either time-dependent coupling constant (classical model) or a coupling constant that is linear in a boson coordinate (quantum model). We find an exact…
Scattering and reaction cross sections of $e^{\pm}-Ps$ system are calculated for total angular momentum L=0, 1 and 2 and energies between the Ps(n=2)-Ps(n=3) threshold. We solved a set of Faddeev-Merkuriev and Lippmann-Schwinger integral…
Here we discuss two many-particle quantum systems, which are obtained by adding some nonhermitian but PT (i.e. combined parity and time reversal) invariant interaction to the Calogero model with and without confining potential. It is shown…
The scattering phase shift of an electron transferred through a quantum dot is studied within a model Hamiltonian, accounting for both the electron--electron interaction in the dot and a finite temperature. It is shown that, unlike in an…
We consider bound and scattering states of the one-dimensional dimer formed by two coupled non-identical atoms when one of them also interacts with the zero-range potential located at the origin. By calculating the dimer localized and…

We investigate the scattering response of parity-time (PT) symmetric structures. We show that, due to the local flow of energy between gain and loss regions, such systems can deflect light in unusual ways, as a function of the gain/loss…
