We derive a pseudopotential in two dimensions (2D) with the presence of a 2D Rashba spin-orbit-coupling (SOC), following the same spirit of frame transformation in {[}Phys. Rev. A 95, 020702(R) (2017){]}. The frame transformation correctly…

Scattering properties and time delays for general (non-symmetric) potentials in terms of the respective S-matrices are discussed paradigmatically in one dimension and in comparison to symmetric potentials. Only for the latter the Wigner and…

We formulate a new quasi-Hermitian delta-shell pseudopotential for higher partial wave scattering, and show that any such potential must have an energy-dependent regularization. The quasi-Hermiticity of the Hamiltonian leads to a complete…
