Consider a non-relativistic quantum particle with wave function inside a region $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^3$, and suppose that detectors are placed along the boundary $\partial \Omega$. The question how to compute the probability…

We address the question of how to compute the probability distribution of the time at which a detector clicks, in the situation of $n$ non-relativistic quantum particles in a volume $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ in physical space and…

Consider detectors waiting for a quantum particle to arrive at a surface $S$ in 3-space. For predicting the probability distribution of the time and place of detection, a rule was proposed in [arXiv:1601.03715], called the absorbing…

We consider the problem of computing, for a detector surface waiting for a quantum particle to arrive, the probability distribution of the time and place at which the particle gets detected, from the initial wave function of the particle in…

The problem of detection time distribution concerns a quantum particle surrounded by detectors and consists of computing the probability distribution of where and when the particle will be detected. While the correct answer can be obtained…

We consider particles emanating from a source point inside an interval in one-dimensional space and passing through detectors situated at the endpoints of the interval that register their arrival time. Unambiguous measurements of arrival or…

Suppose that particle detectors are placed along a Cauchy surface $\Sigma$ in Minkowski space-time, and consider a quantum theory with fixed or variable number of particles (i.e., using Fock space or a subspace thereof). It is…

Imaginary potentials such as $V(x)=-iv 1_\Omega(x)$ (with $v>0$ a constant, $\Omega$ a subset of 3-space, and $1_\Omega$ its characteristic function) have been used in quantum mechanics as models of a detector. They represent the effect of…

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…

There are several inequivalent proposals in the literature for how to compute the probability distribution of the time that a detector registers for the arrival of a quantum particle. For two of these proposals, based on absorbing boundary…

Absorbing boundary conditions are presented for three-dimensional time-dependent Schr\"odinger-type of equations as a means to reduce the cost of the quantum-mechanical calculations. The boundary condition is first derived from a…

Absorbing boundaries are frequently employed in real-time propagation of the Schr\"odinger equation to remove spurious reflections and efficiently emulate outgoing boundary conditions. These conditions are a fundamental ingredient for an…

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 $\Psi_0(\boldsymbol{x})$,…

We give a self-contained and streamlined exposition of a generation theorem for C0-semigroups based on the method of boundary triplets. We apply this theorem to port-Hamiltonian systems where we discuss recent results appearing in stability…

We show that, for the $C_0$-semigroups of scalar type spectral operators, a well-known necessary condition for the generation of eventually norm-continuous $C_0$-semigroups, formulated exclusively in terms of the location of the spectrum of…

We explore the phenomena of absorption/emission of solitons by an integrable boundary for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on the half-line. This is based on the investigation of time-dependent reflection matrices which satisfy the…

We consider the generalized time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation on the half-axis and a broad family of finite-difference schemes with the discrete transparent boundary conditions (TBCs) to solve it. We first rewrite the discrete TBCs in a…

We introduce the concept of boundariness capturing the most efficient way of expressing a given element of a convex set as a probability mixture of its boundary elements. In other words, this number measures (without the need of any…

In a single-particle detection experiment, a wavefront impinges on a detector but observers only see a point response. The extent of the wavefront becomes evident only in statistical accumulation of many independent detections, with…

We give a H\"ormander-type localization principle for the Szeg\"o kernel $S_\Omega(z)$. We also show that for each boundary point $z_0$, $S_\Omega(z)\gtrsim|z-z_0|^{-\frac{1}{3}}$ holds non-tangentially for any bounded pseudoconvex domain…
