Two methodological troubles of the quantum theory of collisions are considered. The first is the undesirable interference of the incident and scattered waves in the stationary approach to scattering. The second concerns the nonstationary…
The ratio of two consecutive level spacings has emerged as a very useful metric in investigating universal features exhibited by complex spectra. It does not require the knowledge of density of states and is therefore quite convenient to…
Resonant transmission occurs when constructive interference results in the complete passage of an incoming wave through an array of barriers. In this paper we explore such a scenario with one dimensional models. We adopt wave packets with…
In a recent paper [1] we developed a theoretical model to describe current transients arising during electrochemical deposition experiments performed at the bottom of sub-micrometric cylindrical vessels with permeable walls. In the present…

We analyze the matter wave transmission above a step potential within the framework of the cubic-nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. We present a comprehensive analysis of the corresponding stationary problem based on an exact second-order…
We study decoherence of the external degree of freedom of a tracer particle moving in a one dimensional dilute Boltzmann gas. We find that phase averaging is the dominant decoherence effect, rather than information exchange between tracer…
Unbound wave packets propagating to macroscopic space and time coordinates become proportional to their (Fourier transform) momentum distribution at earlier times whereby the asymptotic coordinates and the initial momenta are connected…
