Because surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are surface waves characterized by one free transverse dimension, the only monochromatic diffraction-free spatial profiles for SPPs are cosine and Airy waves. Pulsed SPP wave packets have been…

An exploratory study of two-particle wave function is carried out with a four dimensional simple model. The wave functions not only for two-particle ground and first excited states but also for an unstable state are calculated from three-…
