The probability of a quantum particle being detected in a given solid angle is determined by the $S$-matrix. The explanation of this fact in time dependent scattering theory is often linked to the quantum flux, since the quantum flux…

We investigate ways of accurately simulating the propagation of energetic charged particles over small times where the standard Monte Carlo approximation to diffusive transport breaks down. We find that a small-angle scattering procedure…
It is shown that the Stone-von Neumann theorem is inapplicable to scattering a quantum nonrelativistic particle on a one-dimensional "short-range" potential barrier, since the unboundedness of the position operator plays here a crucial…
