We investigate Schr\"odinger operators with \delta- and \delta'-interactions supported on hypersurfaces, which separate the Euclidean space into finitely many bounded and unbounded Lipschitz domains. It turns out that the combinatorial…
We define a Schr\"odinger operator on the half-space with a discontinuous magnetic field having a piecewise-constant strength and a uniform direction. Motivated by applications in the theory of superconductivity, we study the infimum of the…
We discuss discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are generated by an invertible ergodic transformation of a compact metric space and a continuous real-valued sampling function. We pay particular attention to the…
We study the distribution of the eigenvalues inside of the essential spectrum for discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with potentials of Coulomb type decay.
We obtain dynamical lower bounds for some self-adjoint operators with pure point spectrum in terms of the spacing properties of their eigenvalues. In particular, it is shown that for systems with thick point spectrum, typically in Baire's…
We obtain bounds on the complex eigenvalues of non-self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials, and also on the complex resonances of self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators. Our bounds are compared with numerical results, and…
We prove a quantum-ergodicity theorem on large graphs, for eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators in a very general setting. We consider a sequence of finite graphs endowed with discrete Schr\"odinger operators, assumed to have a local…
On the contrary to the common intuition, which suggests that a steep expulsive potential makes quantum states widely delocalized, we demonstrate that one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) Schroedinger equations, which include expulsive…
We consider a nonrelativistic quantum particle constrained to a curved layer of constant width built over a non-compact surface embedded in $R^3$. We suppose that the latter is endowed with the geodesic polar coordinates and that the layer…
A number of results on radial positive definite functions on ${\mathbb R^n}$ related to Schoenberg's integral representation theorem are obtained. They are applied to the study of spectral properties of self-adjoint realizations of two- and…
We consider selfadjoint operators obtained by pasting a finite number of boundary relations with one-dimensional boundary space. A typical example of such an operator is the Schr\"odinger operator on a star-graph with a finite number of…
For one-dimensional Schroedinger operators with complex-valued potentials, we construct pseudomodes corresponding to large pseudoeigenvalues. Our (non-semi-classical) approach results in substantial progress in achieving optimal conditions…
We study the single electron model of a semi-infinite graphene sheet interfaced with the vacuum and terminated along a zigzag edge. The model is a Schroedinger operator acting on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$: $H^\lambda_{\rm edge}=-\Delta+\lambda^2…
We show that the spectrum of a discrete two-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger operator on a square lattice with a sufficiently small potential is an interval, provided the period is odd in at least one dimension. In general, we show that…
We describe and characterize an equal-fidelity surface in Bloch space targeted for a qubit state by means of equal-distance concept. The distance is generalized and defined as the Euclidean distance between extended Bloch vectors for…
Let $V$ be a potential on $\RR^3$ that is smooth everywhere except at a discrete set $\maS$ of points, where it has singularities of the form $Z/\rho^2$, with $\rho(x) = |x - p|$ for $x$ close to $p$ and $Z$ continuous on $\RR^3$ with $Z(p)…
