We discuss "the plane wave approximation" to quantum mechanical scattering using simple one-dimensional examples. The central points of the paper are that (a) plane waves should be thought of as infinitely wide wave packets, and (b) the…
It is shown that in the case of the one-particle one-dimensional scattering problem for a given time-independent potential, for each state of the whole quantum ensemble of identically prepared particles, there is an unique pair of…
Under conditions of strong scattering, a dilemma often arises regarding the best numerical method to use. Main competitors are the Born series, the Beam Propagation Method, and direct solution of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation. However,…
The WKB approximation for deformed space with minimal length is considered. The Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule is obtained. A new interesting feature in presence of deformation is that the WKB approximation is valid for intermediate…
Time-harmonic acoustic inverse scattering concerns the ill-posed and nonlinear problem of determining the refractive index of an inaccessible, penetrable scatterer based on far field wave scattering data. When the scattering is weak, the…
We present a new methodology, based on the WKB approximation and Fast Fourier Transforms, for the evaluation of wave propagation through inhomogeneous media. This method can accurately resolve fields containing caustics, while still…
We explain why the conventional argument for deriving the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approximation is incomplete and review recent mathematical results, which clarify the situation and at the same time provide a systematic scheme for…
We describe the bound state and scattering properties of a quantum mechanical particle in a scalar $N$-prong potential. Such a study is of special interest since these situations are intermediate between one and two dimensions. The energy…
We reexamine the relations between the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) wave function of two particles, the on-shell scattering amplitude, and the effective potential in quantum filed theory. It is emphasized that there is an exact relation between the…
The scattering of an incident plane wave on two Aharonov-Bohm vortices with opposite fluxes is considered in detail. The presence of the vortices imposes non-trivial boundary conditions for the partial waves on a cut joining the two…
In designing and optimizing new-generation nanomaterials and related quantum devices, dissipation versus decoherence phenomena are often accounted for via local scattering models, such as relaxation-time and Boltzmann-like schemes. Here we…
We present the study of the one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation by a smooth barrier. The scattering solutions are given in terms of the Whittaker $M_{\kappa,\mu}(x)$ function. The reflection and transmission coefficients are calculated in…
The measurement problem of quantum mechanics concerns the question under which circumstances coherent wave evolution becomes disrupted to produce eigenstates of observables, instead of evolving superpositions of eigenstates. The problem…
The hadronic quark structure is investigated in the frame of high energy electron proton scattering. A phenomenological model based on the Born approximation is used to calculate the transition matrix element for the quark system forming…
Quantum scattering by a one-dimensional odd potential proportional to the square of the distance to the origin is considered. The Schr\"odinger equation is solved exactly and explicit algebraic expressions of the wavefunction are given. A…
The multidimensional space-time with $(D-4)$ compact extra space dimensions and SM fields confined on four-dimensional brane is considered. The elastic scattering amplitude of two particles interacting by gravitational forces is calculated…
Doppler reflectometry spatial and wavenumber resolution is analyzed within the framework of the linear Born approximation in slab plasma model. Explicit expression for its signal backscattering spectrum is obtained in terms of wavenumber…
It is showed that, in general, classical and quantum dispersion relations are different due to the presence of the Bohm potential. There are exact particular solutions of the quantum (wave) theory which obey the classical dispersion…
The exactness of the semiclassical method for three-dimensional problems in quantum mechanics is analyzed. The wave equation appropriate in the quasiclassical region is derived. It is shown that application of the standard leading-order WKB…
The angular dependence of the differential cross section of unpolarized light-by-light scattering summed over final polarizations is the same in any low-energy effective theory of quantum electrodynamics and also in Born-Infeld…
