Theory of scattering of a quantum-mechanical particle on a cosmic string is developed. S-matrix and scattering amplitude are determined as functions of the flux and the tension of the string. We reveal that, in the case of the nonvanishing…
We provide a mechanism by which, from a background independent model with no quantum mechanics, quantum theory arises in the same limit in which spatial properties appear. Starting with an arbitrary abstract graph as the microscopic model…
Quantum-mechanical scattering states are energy eigenstates obeying particular boundary conditions, whose behavior at infinity encodes the S-matrix which defines the outcoming of scattering experiments. With an eye toward numerical…
We investigate quantum graphs with infinitely many vertices and edges without the common restriction on the geometry of the underlying metric graph that there is a positive lower bound on the lengths of its edges. Our central result is a…
A single quantum emitter coupled to a structured non-Hermitian environment shows anomalous bound states and real-time dynamics without Hermitian counterparts, as shown in [Gong et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 223601 (2022)]. In this work, we…
We study the behavior of a quantum particle confined to a hard--wall strip of a constant width in which there is a finite number $ N $ of point perturbations. Constructing the resolvent of the corresponding Hamiltonian by means of Krein's…
We consider scattering theory of the Laplace Beltrami operator on differential forms on a Riemannian manifold that is Euclidean at infinity. The manifold may have several boundary components caused by obstacles at which relative boundary…
In the customary random matrix model for transport in quantum dots with $M$ internal degrees of freedom coupled to a chaotic environment via $N\ll M$ channels, the density $\rho$ of transmission eigenvalues is computed from a specific…
We apply the Poynting theorem to the scattering of monochromatic electromagnetic planes waves with normal incidence to the interface of two different media. We write this energy conservation theorem to introduce a natural definition of the…
In contrast to the usual quantum systems which have at most a finite number of open spectral gaps if they are periodic in more than one direction, periodic quantum graphs may have gaps arbitrarily high in the spectrum. This property of…
We consider quantum graphs with transparent branching points. To design such networks, the concept of transparent boundary conditions is applied to the derivation of the vertex boundary conditions for the linear Schrodinger equation on…
We show how to construct discrete-time quantum walks on directed, Eulerian graphs. These graphs have tails on which the particle making the walk propagates freely, and this makes it possible to analyze the walks in terms of scattering…
We report on experiments that were performed with microwave waveguide systems and demonstrate that in the frequency range of a single transversal mode they may serve as a model for closed and open quantum graphs. These consist of bonds that…
We develop the quantum inverse scattering method for the one-dimensional Hubbard model on the infinite line at zero density. This enables us to diagonalize the Hamiltonian algebraically. The eigenstates can be classified as scattering…
We present a general formalism describing a propagation of an arbitrary multiparticle wave packet in a one-dimensional multimode chiral channel coupled to an ensemble of emitters which are distributed at arbitrary positions. The formalism…
We consider an explicitly solvable model (formulated in the Riemannian geometry terms) for a stationary wave process in a specific thin domain with the Dirichlet boundary conditions on the boundary of the domain. The transition from the…
This paper proves new results on spectral and scattering theory for matrix-valued Schr\"odinger operators on the discrete line with non-compactly supported perturbations whose first moments are assumed to exist. In particular, a Levinson…
Multicomponent-multiband fluxes of spim-charge carriers, whose components propagate mixed and synchronously, with \emph{a priori} nonzero incoming amplitudes, do not obey the standard unitarity condition on the scattering matrix for an…
We survey the basic notions of scattering theory in Hamiltonian mechanics with a particular attention to the analogies with scattering theory in quantum mechanics. We discuss the scattering symplectomorphism, which is analogous to the…
We examine transmission through a quantum graph vertex to which auxiliary edges with constant potentials are attached. We find a characterization of vertex couplings for which the transmission probability from a given "input" line to a…
