It is a classical derivation that the Wigner equation, derived from the Schr\"odinger equation that contains the quantum information, converges to the Liouville equation when the rescaled Planck constant $\epsilon\to0$. Since the latter…
It has been suggested that the nonlinear Schr\"odinger-Newton equation might approximate the coupling of quantum mechanics with gravitation, particularly in the context of the M{\o}ller-Rosenfeld semiclassical theory. Numerical results for…
We consider a single impurity atom trapped in a double well (DW) potential created by a dipolar two-soliton molecule in a quasi-one-dimensional geometry. By solving the eigenvalue problem for the impurity atom in the DW potential, we find…
The semi-classical regime of standing wave solutions of a Schr\"odinger equation in presence of non-constant electric and magnetic potentials is studied in the case of non-local nonlinearities of Hartree type. It is show that there exists a…
We identify a class of potentials for which the semiclassical estimate $N^{\text{(semi)}}=\frac{1}{\pi}\int_0^\infty dr\sqrt{-V(r)\theta[-V(r)]}$ of the number $N$ of (S-wave) bound states provides a (rigorous) lower limit: $N\ge…
In this paper we describe the spectrum of the quantum periodic Benjamin-Ono equation in terms of the multi-phase solutions of the underlying classical system (the periodic multi-solitons). To do so, we show that the semi-classical…
For a large class of semiclassical operators $P(h)-z$ which includes Schr\"odinger operators on manifolds with boundary, we construct the Quantum Monodromy operator $M(z)$ associated to a periodic orbit $\gamma$ of the classical flow. Using…
We study the bound states of a Kronig Penney potential for a nonlinear one-dimensional Schroedinger equation. This potential consists of a large, but not necessarily infinite, number of equidistant delta-function wells. We show that the…
We revisit here the analytical continuation approach usually employed to compute quasinormal modes (QNM) and frequencies of a given potential barrier $V$ starting from the bounded states and respective eigenvalues of the Schroedinger…
We obtain eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a hyperbolic double-well potential. We consider exact polynomial solutions for some particular values of the potential-strength parameter and also numerical…
We consider the eigenvalues of a one-dimensional semiclassical Schr\"odinger operator, where the potential consist of two quadratic ends (that is, looks like a harmonic oscillator at each infinite end), possibly with a flat region in the…
It is known that the spectrum of quasi-normal modes of potential barriers is related to the spectrum of bound states of the corresponding potential wells. This property has been widely used to compute black hole quasi-normal modes, but it…
We study bound states generated by a unique potential minimum in the situation where the system is strongly confined to a bounded region containing the minimum (by imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions). In this case the eigenvalues of the…
The Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture states that the spectrum of the stationary Schrodinger operator with a periodic potential in dimensions higher than 1 has only finitely many gaps. After work done by many authors, it has been proven by now in…
We prove Lieb-Thirring inequalities for Schr\"odinger operators with a homogeneous magnetic field in two and three space dimensions. The inequalities bound sums of eigenvalues by a semi-classical approximation which depends on the strength…
