The application of random-matrix theory (RMT) to compound-nucleus (CN) reactions is reviewed. An introduction into the basic concepts of nuclear scattering theory is followed by a survey of phenomenological approaches to CN scattering. The…
We analyze the framework recently proposed by Oppenheim et al. to model relativistic quantum fields coupled to relativistic, classical, stochastic fields (in particular, as a model of quantum matter coupled to ``classical gravity'').…
For a general quantum theory that is describable by a path integral formalism, we construct a mathematical model of the universe as a sample point of an accumulative stochastic process. The model give predictions that are nearly identical…
This paper develops a scattering theory for the asymmetric transport observed at interfaces separating two-dimensional topological insulators. Starting from the spectral decomposition of an unperturbed interface Hamiltonian, we present a…
We consider deterministic self-propelled particles with anti-alignment interactions. An asymptotically exact kinetic theory for particle scattering at low densities is constructed by a non-local closure of the BBGKY-hierarchy, involving…
Scattering calculations in curved spacetime are technically complicated and, in the case of a general spacetime metric, quite impossible. Even in the cases where perturbative scattering calculations can be done one has to be careful about…
We propose that the Schrodinger equation results from applying the classical wave equation to describe the physical system in which subatomic particles play random motion, thereby leading to quantum mechanics. The physical reality described…
Dynamic modulation of material properties in space and time enables powerful control over wave propagation, yet existing theories largely rely on idealized, nondispersive models. In realistic media, frequency dispersion can strongly reshape…
Crossing symmetry asserts that particles are indistinguishable from anti-particles traveling back in time. In quantum field theory, this statement translates to the long-standing conjecture that probabilities for observing the two scenarios…
A Euclidean formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics is discussed. Representations of the Hilbert space inner product and Poincar\'e generators are all expressed in terms of Euclidean space-time variables. The formulation does not…
In this article we continue our investigations of one particle quantum scattering theory for Schroedinger operators on a set of connected (idealized one-dimensional) wires forming a graph with an arbitrary number of open ends. The…
We study the elastic scattering of quantum particles based on a real Hilbert space approach to quaternionic quantum mechanics ($\mathbbm H$QM) and derive expression for the wave function, the phase shifts, as well as the optical theorem for…
In a previous paper, it was shown that a soluble model can be constructed for the description of a decaying system in analogy to the Lee-Friedrichs model of complex quantum theory. It is shown here that this model also provides a soluble…
The transition-matrix ($T$-matrix) approach provides a general formalism to study scattering problems in various areas of physics, including acoustics (scalar fields) and electromagnetics (vector fields), and is related to the theory of the…
The reciprocity principle is that, when an emitted wave gets scattered on an object, the scattering transition amplitude does not change if we interchange the source and the detector - in other words, if incoming waves are interchanged with…
We give a systematic analysis of forward scattering in 3$+$1-dimensional quantum gravity, at center of mass energies comparable or larger than the Planck energy. We show that quantum gravitational effects in this kinematical regime are…
We consider scattering of a free quantum particle on a singular potential with rather arbitrary shape of the support of the potential. In the classical limit $\hbar=0$ this problem reduces to the well known problem of chaotic scattering.…
We study the variation of the mean cross section with the density of the samples in the quantum scattering of a particle by a disordered target. The target consists of a set of pointlike scatterers, each having an equal probability of being…
In this study, potential scatterings are formulated in experimental setups with Gaussian wave packets in accordance with a probability principle and associativity of products. A breaking of an associativity is observed in scalar products…
Two-particle scattering probabilities in tunneling scenarios with exchange interaction are analyzed with quasi-particle wave packets. Two initial one-particle wave packets (with opposite central momentums) are spatially localized at each…
