We apply the spectral element method to the determination of scattering and bound states of the multichannel Schr\"odinger equation. In our approach the reaction coordinate is discretized on a grid of points whereas the internal coordinates…
We discuss differences between the exact S-matrix for scattering on serial structures and a known factorized expression constructed of single-element S-matrices. As an illustration, we use an exactly solvable model of a quantum wire with…
Probabilistic ideas and tools have recently begun to permeate into several fields where they had traditionally not played a major role, including fields such as numerical linear algebra and optimization. One of the key ways in which these…
