Let $S(k)$ be the scattering matrix for a Schr\"odinger operator (Laplacian plus potential) on $\RR^n$ with compactly supported smooth potential. It is well known that $S(k)$ is unitary and that the spectrum of $S(k)$ accumulates on the…
It is well-known that classical optical cavities can exhibit localized phenomena associated to scattering resonances, leading to numerical instabilities in approximating the solution. This result can be established via the ``quasimodes to…
The scattering of quantum particles by non-hermitian (generally nonlocal) potentials in one dimension may result in asymmetric transmission and/or reflection from left and right incidence. Eight generalized symmetries based on the discrete…

This paper is concerned with the final state problem for the homogeneous type nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with time-decaying harmonic potential. The nonlinearity has the critical order and is not necessarily the form of a polynomial.…
We consider a polyhedron with zero classical resistance, i.e., a polyhedron invisible to an observer viewing only the paths of geometrical optics rays. The corresponding problem of scattering of plane waves by the polyhedron is studied. The…
We prove that the averaged scattering solutions to the Schr\"odinger equation with short-range electromagnetic potentials $(V,A)$ where $V(x)=O(|x|^{-\rho}), A(x)= O(|x|^{-\rho}), |x| \to \infty, \rho >1,$ are dense in the set of all…
