We investigate recovery of the bulk S-matrix from the AdS/CFT correspondence, at large radius. It was recently argued that some of the elements of the S-matrix might be read from CFT correlators, given a particular singularity structure of…
Assuming that Quantum Mechanics is universal and that it can be applied over all scales, then the Universe is allowed to be in a quantum superposition of states, where each of them can correspond to a different space-time geometry. How can…
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…
Two major deviations from causality in the existing formulations of quantum mechanics, related respectively to quantum chaos and indeterminate wave reduction, are eliminated within the new, universal concept of dynamic complexity. The…
A solution of the scattering problem is obtained for the Schr\"odinger equation with the potential of induced dipole interaction, which decreases as the inverse square of the distance. Such a potential arises in the collision of an incident…
Scattering amplitudes in $d+2$ dimensions can be expressed in terms of a conformal basis, for which the S-matrix behaves as a CFT correlation function on the celestial $d$-sphere. We explain how compact expressions for the full tree-level…
We propose and construct a two-parameter perturbative expansion around a Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker geometry that can be used to model high-order gravitational effects in the presence of non-linear structure. This framework…
We develop a formalism for the scattering of a particle on the $q$-deformed Euclidean space. We write down $q$-versions of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation. Their iterative solutions for a weak scattering potential lead us to $q$-versions of…
Relativistic causality constrains the $S$-matrix both through its analyticity, and by imposing lower bounds on the scattering time delay. These bounds are easiest to determine for spacetimes which admit either a timelike or null Killing…
The properties of the high energy behavior of the scattering amplitude of massive, neutral and spinless particles in higher dimensional field theories are investigated. The axiomatic formulation of Lehmann, Symanzik and Zimmermann is…
A general problem of $2\rightarrow N_f$ scattering is addressed with all the states being wave packets with arbitrary phases. Depending on these phases, one deals with coherent states in $(3+1)$ D, vortex particles with orbital angular…
Using a generalized T-matrix description which, in principle, exactly includes Coulomb correlations and potential scattering events, resonant and bound impurity states are discussed. Like in the non-interacting case, the effects of the…
Wave scattering plays a central role for the modeling of complex wave propagation across all corners of science and engineering applications, including electromagnetic, acoustics, seismic and scattering physics. Wave control using time…
Coherent control has enabled various novel phenomena in wave scattering. We introduce an effect called coherent orthogonal scattering, where the output wave becomes orthogonal to the reference output state without scatterers. This effect…
We derive a general formalism that relates the spectrum of two-particle systems in a finite volume to physical scattering amplitudes, taking into account the presence of any left-hand branch cuts due to single-particle exchanges. The method…
We measure the trajectories of macroscopic magnetic particles pulled against gravity between twisted alternating magnetic square patterns in a superposed homogeneous magnetic field normal to both patterns. The two patterns are built from a…
We report on our analysis of the Coulomb singularity problem in the frame of the coupled channel scattering theory including spin-orbit interaction. We assume that the coupling between the partial wave components involves orbital angular…
For spacetimes containing quiescent singularity hypersurfaces we propose a general notion of junction conditions based on a prescribed singularity scattering map, as we call it, and we introduce the notion of a cyclic spacetime (also called…
Recently, 't Hooft's S-matrix for black hole evaporation, obtained from the gravitational interactions between the in-falling particles and Hawking radiation, has been generalised to include transverse effects. The action describing the…
We investigate the classical and quantum behavior of a Bianchi I model in the presence of a stiff matter contribution when the Vilenkin interpretation of the wave function of the Universe is taken into account. We study its evolution in the…
