It is shown that in the complex trajectory representation of quantum mechanics, the Born's Psi^{\star}\Psi probability density can be obtained from the imaginary part of the velocity field of particles on the real axis. Extending this…
It is shown that in the case of the one-particle one-dimensional scattering problem for a given time-independent potential, for each state of the whole quantum ensemble of identically prepared particles, there is an unique pair of…
We are concerned with the justification of the statement, commonly (explicitly or implicitly) used in quantum scattering theory, that for a free non-relativistic quantum particle with initial wave function $\Psi_0(\boldsymbol{x})$,…
An efficient method is proposed for numerical solutions of nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations in an unbounded domain. Through approximating the kinetic energy term by a one-way equation and uniting it with the potential energy equation,…
We propose a formulation of an absorbing boundary for a quantum particle. The formulation is based on a Feynman-type integral over trajectories that are confined by the absorbing boundary. Trajectories that reach the absorbing wall are…
We identify the characteristic times of the evolution of a quantum wave generated by a point source with a sharp onset in an absorbing medium. The "traversal'' or "B\"uttiker-Landauer'' time (which grows linearly with the distance to the…
A theory of quantum jumps is developed by using a new asymmetric equation, which is complementary to the Schr\"odinger equation. The new equation displays Bohr's rules for quantum jumps, and its solutions demonstrate that once a quantum…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, for $n \geq 2$, be a bounded $C^2$ domain. Let $q \in L^1_{loc} (\Omega)$ with $q \geq 0$. We give necessary conditions and matching sufficient conditions, which differ only in the constants involved, for…
We study the hydrodynamic and the hydrostatic behavior of the Simple Symmetric Exclusion Process with \emph{slow boundary}. The term \emph{slow boundary} means that particles can be born or die at the boundary sites, at a rate proportional…
The discussion is limited to first-class parametrized systems, where the definition of time evolution and observables is not trivial, and to finite dimensional systems in order that technicalities do not obscure the conceptual framework.…
This work is concerned with the development of a space-time adaptive numerical method, based on a rigorous a posteriori error bound, for a semilinear convection-diffusion problem which may exhibit blow-up in finite time. More specifically,…
Any proposed solution to the "screen problem" in quantum mechanics -- the challenge of predicting the joint distribution of particle arrival times and impact positions -- must align with the extensive data obtained from scattering…
Incorporating boundary conditions into stochastic models of passive or active particle motion is usually implemented at the level of the associated forward or backward Kolmogorov equation, whose solution determines the probability…
In quantum information processing, one often considers inserting a barrier into a box containing a particle to generate one bit of Shannon entropy. We formulate this problem as a one-dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a…
Stochastic flows of an advective-diffusive nature are ubiquitous in physical sciences. Of particular interest is the problem to reconcile observed marginal distributions with a given prior posed by E. Schrodinger in 1932/32 and known as the…
We consider the semiclassical (zero-dispersion) limit of the one-dimensional focusing Nonlinear Schroedinger equation (NLS) with decaying potentials. If a potential is a simple rapidly oscillating wave (the period has the order of the…
The standard derivation of Schroedinger's equation from a Lorentz-invariant Feynman path integral consists in taking first the limit of infinite speed of light and then the limit of short time slice. In this order of limits the light cone…
The central limit theorem has been found to apply to random vectors in complex Hilbert space. This amounts to sufficient reason to study the complex valued Gaussian, looking for relevance to quantum mechanics. Here we show that the…
The particle in an expanding/contracting 1-dimension box is revisited in action-angle like variables with direct thermodynamic interpretation. An angle dependent potential is proposed accurately describing the mechanical behavior while also…
Quantum measurement finds the observed system in a collapsed state, rather than in the state predicted by the Schr\"odinger equation. Yet there is a relatively spread opinion that the wavefunction collapse can be explained by unitary…
