Earlier, potentials like square well and several other half-potential wells with discontinuous jump have been found to have the expectation value $<\! p^6 \!>$ to be divergent for all bound states. Here, we consider two-piece symmetric…
Position and momentum representations of a wavefunction $\psi(x)$ and $\phi(p)$, respectively are physically equivalent yet mathematically in a given case one may be easier or more transparent than the other. This disparity may be so much…
We show that it needs a more delicate potential to confine particles inside a well. The original model containing a vague notation of infinity in the potential energy is ambiguous. Using the Heaviside step function and the Dirac…
This article examines the suggestion made in Ref. [EPL, 115 (2016) 60001] that a solution to a particle in an infinite spherical well model, if it is square-integrable, is a physically valid solution, even if at the precise location of the…
In this work the evolution of a wavefunction in an infinite potential well with time dependent boundaries is investigated. Previous methods for wells with walls moving at a constant velocity are summarised. These methods are extended to…
An asymmetric double-well potential is considered, assuming that the minima of the wells are quadratic with a frequency $\omega$ and the difference of the minima is close to a multiple of $\hbar \omega$. A WKB wave function is constructed…
One of the most widely problem studied in quantum mechanics is of an infinite square-well potential. In a minimal-length scenario its study requires additional care because the boundary conditions at the walls of the well are not well…
Ehrenfest's theorem in the infinite square well is up to now only manifested indirectly. The manifestation of this theorem is first done in the finite square well, and then consider the infinite square well as the limit of the finite well.…
We consider an equidistant array of disjoint potential wells in $\mathbb{R}^\nu,\: \nu\ge 2$, built over a straight line, and show that, under a restriction on the potential support aspect ratio, a perturbation consisting of longitudinal…
Continuing our investigation into the numerical properties of the Hierarchical Reference Theory, we study the square well fluid of range lambda from slightly above unity up to 3.6. After briefly touching upon the core condition and the…
We generalize here the one-level consideration in our recent paper arXiv:1901.00411 [1] to the case when an electron collides with a potential that have any number of s bound states. We investigate peculiarities in the Wigner time delay…
After briefly reviewing the definitions of classical probability densities for position, $P_{CL}(x)$, and for momentum, $P_{CL}(p)$, we present several examples of classical mechanical potential systems, mostly variations on such familiar…
Computing the reachability probability in infinite state probabilistic models has been the topic of numerous works. Here we introduce a new property called \emph{divergence} that when satisfied allows to compute reachability probabilities…
We show how a potential that is well-defined everywhere on the positive half-line, but diverges to $-\infty$ as $x\rightarrow 0^+$, may still be able to dynamically confine a particle to the (positive) half-line. We shall call this effect…
It is well known, both theoretically and experimentally, that the survival probability for an unstable quantum state, formed at $t=0,$ is not a simple exponential function, even if the latter is a good approximation for intermediate times.…
A discontinuous generalization of the standard map, which arises naturally as the dynamics of a periodically kicked particle in a one dimensional infinite square well potential, is examined. Existence of competing length scales, namely the…
There are various types of infinite potential well problems occurring in elementary quantum mechanics formalism. The infinite square well (one dimensional), cubical box and, spherical well are quite common in textbooks. In this paper, we…
The Poincare's period of particle oscillations between wells is obtained in double-well potential. The dependencies of oscillation period on transmission coefficient on distance between levels are obtained. The cases of squared potentials…
The construction of Dirac delta type potentials has been achieved with the use of the theory of self adjoint extensions of non-self adjoint formally Hermitian (symmetric) operators. The application of this formalism to investigate the…
In this paper we establish square-function estimates on the double and single layer potentials for divergence-form elliptic operators, of arbitrary even order 2m, with variable t-independent coefficients in the upper half-space. This…
