Quantum scattering in the presence of a potential valley followed by a barrier is examined for the case of a Morse potential, for which exact analytic solutions to the Schr\UNICODE{0xf6}dinger equation are known in terms of confluent…
A new parametrization of the multi-channel S-matrix is used to fit scattering data and then to locate the resonances as its poles. The S-matrix is written in terms of the corresponding "in" and "out" Jost matrices which are expanded in the…
Assuming the validity of random matrices for describing the statistics of a closed chaotic quantum system, we study analytically some statistical properties of the S-matrix characterizing scattering in its open counterpart. In the first…
We investigate the scattering phenomena in two dimensions produced by a general finite-range nonseparable potential. This situation can appear either in a Cartesian geometry or in a heterostructure with cylindrical symmetry. Increasing the…
A two-channel problem is considered within a method based on first order differential equations that are equivalent to the corresponding Schr\"odinger equation but are more convenient for dealing with resonant phenomena. Using these…
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…
Superconducting junctions are essential building blocks for quantum hardware, and their fundamental behaviour remains a highly active research field. The behaviour of generic junctions is conveniently described by Beenakker's determinant…
The main objective of this paper is to give a rigorous treatment of Wigner's and Eisenbud's $R$-matrix method for scattering matrices of scattering systems consisting of two selfadjoint extensions of the same symmetric operator with finite…
The most important parameters in the study of low-energy scattering are the s-wave and p-wave scattering lengths and the s-wave effective range. We solve the scattering problem and find two useful formulas for the scattering length and the…
We consider a cable described by a discrete, space-homogeneous, quasi one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator $H_0$. We study the scattering by a finite disordered piece (the scatterer) inserted inside this cable. For energies $E$ where…
The poles of the quantum scattering matrix (S-matrix) in the complex momentum plane have been studied extensively. Bound states give rise to S-matrix poles, and other poles correspond to non-normalizable anti-bound, resonance and…
In molecular reactions at the microscopic level the appearance of resonances has an important influence on the reactivity. It is important to predict when a bound state transitions into a resonance and how these transitions depend on…
