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 address the scattering of a quantum particle by a one-dimensional barrier potential over a set of discrete positions. We formalize the problem as a continuous-time quantum walk on a lattice with an impurity, and use the quantum Fisher…

We consider the scattering theory for the defocusing energy subcritical wave equations with an inverse square potential. By employing the energy flux method we establish energy flux estimates on the light cone. Then by the characteristic…
We study the numerical behaviour of a particle method for gradient flows involving linear and nonlinear diffusion. This method relies on the discretisation of the energy via non-overlapping balls centred at the particles. The resulting…
Studies into scatterings of photonic structures have been so far overwhelmingly focused on their dependencies on the spatial and spectral morphologies of the incident waves. In contrast, the evolution of scattering properties through…
Electromagnetic wave scattering by many parallel infinite cylinders is studied asymptotically as $a\to 0$. Here $a$ is the radius of the cylinders. It is assumed that the points $\hat{x}_m$ are distributed so that…
We investigate the particle trajectories in an irrotational shallow water flow over a flat bed as periodic waves propagate on the water's free surface. Within the linear water wave theory, we show that there are no closed orbits for the…
The coherent process of particle deflection by aligned atomic strings and planes of oriented crystals is accompanied by incoherent scattering by atomic cores. While the coherent particle deflection, described by the axial or planar averaged…
A particle subject to successive, random displacements is said to execute a random walk (in position or some other coordinate). The mathematical properties of random walks have been very thoroughly investigated, and the model is used in…
We present the status of our formalism for extracting three-particle scattering observables from lattice QCD (LQCD). The method relies on relating the discrete finite-volume spectrum of a quantum field theory with its scattering amplitudes.…

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…
We show that scattering a quantum particle on a one-dimensional potential barrier as well as scattering the electromagnetic wave on a quasi-one-dimensional layered structure (both represent scattering problems with one 'source' and two…
A full treatment for the scattering of an arbitrary number of bosons through a Bell multiport beam splitter is presented that includes all possible output arrangements. Due to exchange symmetry, the event statistics differs dramatically…
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.…
