This paper is concerned with an inverse scattering problem for the time-harmonic elastic wave equation with a random potential. Interpreted as a distribution, the potential is assumed to be a microlocally isotropic generalized Gaussian…
We revisit the scattering of quantum test particles on the conical $(2+1)$-dimensional spacetime and find the scatteting amplitude as a function of the boundary conditions imposed at the appex of the cone. We show that the boundary…
In this paper we review the results of the author on the theory of scalar and vector wave scattering by small bodies of an arbitrary shape with the emphasis on practical applicability of the formulas obtained and on the mathematical rigor…
The scattering of two and more particles at low energies is described by the so called effective-range expansion. The leading terms of this expansion are the scattering length and effective range. The analytic expressions for both of the…
We relate scattering amplitudes in particle physics to maximum likelihood estimation for discrete models in algebraic statistics. The scattering potential plays the role of the log-likelihood function, and its critical points are solutions…
A rigorous theory of diffraction scattering from extended objects is proposed. The present theory is based on a multiple asymptotic expansion of an integral equation for the exact wave function in terms of the large parameters of the…
In 2D acoustic and elastodynamic problems the spatial variability of a constitutive parameter such as the mass density makes it difficult to employ boundary integral and domain integral techniques to solve the forward and inverse wave…
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method to prepare a nonspreading atomic wave packet. Our technique relies on a spatially modulated absorption constantly chiseling away from an initially broad de Broglie wave. The resulting…
We consider the spreading of the wave packet in the generalized Rosenzweig-Porter random matrix ensemble in the region of non-ergodic extended states $1<\gamma<2$. We show that despite non-trivial fractal dimensions $0 < D_{q}=2-\gamma<1$…
A new formulation of potential scattering in quantum mechanics is developed using a close structural analogy between partial waves and the classical dynamics of many non-interacting fields. Using a canonical formalism we find non-linear…
We study the entanglement entropy between the two outgoing particles in an elastic scattering process. It is formulated within an S-matrix formalism using the partial wave expansion of two-body states, which plays a significant role in our…
Theories with both electric and magnetic charges ("mutually non-local" theories) have several major obstacles to calculating scattering amplitudes. Even when the interaction arises through the kinetic mixing of two, otherwise independent,…
These lectures treat scattering theory from a non-perturbative point of view. The course begins with a review of formal aspects in scattering theory, discussing the in/out states and the $S$ matrix that connects them. Unitarity relations,…
We consider the evolution of a tight binding wave packet propagating in a fluctuating periodic potential. If the fluctuations stem from a stationary Markov process satisfying certain technical criteria, we show that the square amplitude of…
We consider the quantum scattering from a random potential of strength $\lambda^{1/2}$ and with a support on the scale of the mean free path, which is of order $\lambda^{-1}$. On the basis of maximally crossed diagrams we provide a concise…
Unitarity is the fundamental property of the S-matrix while its usage for a scattering of unstable particles has been subtle as unstable particles do not appear in the asymptotic states. Defining unstable-particle amplitudes as residues of…
An alternative description of quantum scattering processes rests on inhomogeneous terms amended to the Schroedinger equation. We detail the structure of sources that give rise to multipole scattering waves of definite angular momentum, and…
The statistical theory of certain complex wave interference phenomena, like the statistical fluctuations of transmission and reflection of waves, is of considerable interest in many fields of physics. In this article we shall be mainly…
Motivated by recent experimental implementations of artificial gauge fields for gases of cold atoms, we study the scattering properties of particles that are subjected to time-periodic Hamiltonians. Making use of Floquet theory, we focus on…
Singularities, such as poles and branch points, play a crucial role in investigating the analytic properties of scattering amplitudes that inform new computational techniques. In this note, we point out that scattering amplitudes can also…
