Solution of Dirac equation for Eckart potential and trigonometric Manning Rosen potential using asymptotic iteration method

The Dirac equation for Eckart potential and trigonometric Manning Rosen potential with exact spin symmetry is obtained using an asymptotic iteration method. The combination of the two potentials is substituted into the Dirac equation,then the variables are separated into radial and angular parts. The Dirac equation is solved by using an asymptotic iteration method that can reduce the second order differential equation into a differential equation with substitution variables of hypergeometry type. The relativistic energy is calculated using Matlab 2011. This study is limited to the case of spin symmetry. With the asymptotic iteration method, the energy spectra of the relativistic equations and equations of orbital quantum number l can be obtained, where both are interrelated between quantum numbers. The energy spectrum is also numerically solved using the Matlab software, where the increase in the radial quantum number nr causes the energy to decrease. The radial part and the angular part of the wave function are defined as hypergeometry functions and visualized with Matlab 2011. The results show that the disturbance of a combination of the Eckart potential and trigonometric Manning Rosen potential can change the radial part and the angular part of the wave function.

Approximate Pseudospin Solutions of the Dirac Equation with the Eckart Potential Including a Coulomb-Like Tensor Potential

We solve the Dirac equation with the Eckart potential including a Coulomb-like tensor potential under pseudospin symmetry limit with arbitrary spin-orbit coupling quantum number κ by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. We have obtained closed forms of eigenfunctions, energy eigenvalues and compared our results with other present data.     

Analytical approximation to the solution of the Dirac equation with the Eckart potential including the spin-orbit coupling term

By using the supersymmetric WKB approximation approach and the functional analysis method, we solve approximately the Dirac equation with the Eckart potential for the arbitrary spin-orbit quantum number κ. The bound state energy eigenvalues and the associated two-component spinors of the Dirac particles are obtained approximately.     

Nash Bosonization in Path Integral for Quantum Riemannian Geometry

We propose an effective quantum theory for Einstein Gravitation theory by making use of the Nash Theorem of Riemann Metrics parametrized by immersions. We show the usefulness of this phenomenological (low energy) path integral bosonization scheme through the evaluation for the Classical Newton potential by means of a Wilson loop path integral evaluation.     

Taming the cosmological constant in 2D causal quantum gravity with topology change

As shown in previous work, there is a well-defined nonperturbative gravitational path integral including an explicit sum over topologies in the setting of causal dynamical triangulations in two dimensions. In this paper we derive a complete analytical solution of the quantum continuum dynamics of this model, obtained uniquely by means of a double-scaling limit. We show that the presence of infinitesimal wormholes leads to a decrease in the effective cosmological constant, reminiscent of the suppression mechanism considered by Coleman and others in the four-dimensional Euclidean path integral. Remarkably, in the continuum limit we obtain a finite spacetime density of microscopic wormholes without assuming fundamental discreteness. This shows that one can in principle make sense of a gravitational path integral which includes a sum over topologies, provided suitable causality restrictions are imposed on the path integral histories.     

Invariant spin coherent states and the theory of the quantum antiferromagnet in a paramagnetic phase

A consistent theory of the Heisenberg quantum antiferromagnet in the disordered phase with short-range antiferromagnetic order was developed on the basis of the path integral for the spin coherent states. We presented the Lagrangian of the theory in the form that is explicitly invariant under rotations and found natural variables in terms of which one can construct a perturbation theory. The short-wavelength spin fluctuations are similar to the ones in spin-wave theory, and the long-wavelength spin fluctuations are governed by the nonlinear sigma model. We also demonstrated that the short-wavelength spin fluctuations should be considered accurately in the framework of the discrete version in time of the path integral. In the framework of our approach, we obtained the response function for the spin fluctuations for the whole region of the frequency ω and the wave vector k and calculated the free energy of the system.     

Path of Momentum Integral in the Skorniakov-Ter-Martirosian Equation

The Skorniakov-Ter-Martirosian (STM) integral equation is widely used for the quantum three-body problems of low-energy particles (e.g., ultracold atom gases). With this equation these three-body problems can be efficiently solved in the momentum space. In this approach the boundary condition for the case that all the three particles are gathered together is described by the upper limit of the momentum integral, i.e., the momentum cutoff. On the other hand, in realistic systems, the three-body recombination (TBR) process can occur when all these three particles are close to each other. In this process two particles form a deep dimer and the other particle can gain high kinetic energy and then escape from the low-energy system. In the presence of the TBR process, the momentum-cutoff in the STM equation would include a non-zero imaginary part. As a result, the momentum integral in the STM equation should be done in the complex-momentum plane. In this case the result of the integral depends on the choice of the integral path. Obviously, only one integral path can lead to the correct result. In this paper we consider how to correctly choose the integral path for the STM equation. We take the atom-dimer scattering problem in a specific ultracold atom gas as an example, and show the results given by different integral paths. Based on the result for this case we explore the reasonable integral paths for general case.     

LETTER: Entropy Using Path Integrals for Quantum Black Hole Models

Canonical quantum gravity has been used in the search for eigenvalue equations that could describe black holes. In this paper we choose one of the simplest of these quantum equations to show how the usual Feynman's path integral approach can be applied to get the corresponding statistical properties. We get a logarithmic correction to the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy as already obtained by other authors by other means.     

Wick's theorem at finite temperature

We consider Wick's theorem for finite temperature and finite volume systems. Working at an operator level with a path ordered approach, we show that contrary to claims in the literature, expectation values of normal ordered products can be chosen to be zero and that results obtained are independent of volume. Thus the path integral and operator approaches to finite temperature and finite volume quantum field theories are indeed seen to be identical. The conditions under which normal ordered products have simple symmetry properties are also considered.     

Approximate Solutions of the Schr?dinger Equation for?the Rosen-Morse Potential Including Centrifugal Term

Analytical solutions of the Schr?dinger equation for the Rosen-Morse potential are presented for arbitrary orbital angular momentum quantum number by using an approximation for the centrifugal term. The energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wavefunctions are approximately obtained. Three special cases the s-wave, the Eckart potential and the PT-symmetric Rosen-Morse potential are also investigated.     

Optical analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm effect using anisotropic media

We show that in the context of paraxial optics, which can be analyzed through a wave equation similar to the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation of quantum mechanics but replacing time t by spatial coordinate z, the existence of a vector potential A_⊥ mimicking the magnetic vector potential in quantum mechanics is allowed by specific gauge symmetries of the optical field in a medium with anisotropic refractive index. In this way, we use Feynman?s path integral to demonstrate an optical analogue of the quantum-mechanical Aharonov-Bohm effect, encouraging the search for another optical systems with analogies with more complex quantum field theories.     

The quantum geometry of spin and statistics

Both, spin and statistics of a quantum system can be seen to arise from underlying (quantum) group symmetries. We show that the spin–statistics theorem is equivalent to a unification of these symmetries. Besides covering the Bose–Fermi case we classify the corresponding possibilities for anyonic spin and statistics. We incorporate the underlying extended concept of symmetry into quantum field theory in a generalised path integral formulation capable of handling general braid statistics. For bosons and fermions the different path integrals and Feynman rules naturally emerge without introducing Grassmann variables. We also consider the anyonic example of quons and obtain the path integral counterpart to the usual canonical approach.     

Quantum stochastic processes

We first define a class of processes which we call regular quantum Markov processes. We next prove some basic results concerning such processes. A method is given for constructing quantum Markov processes using transition amplitude kernels. Finally we show that the Feynman path integral formalism can be clarified by approximating it with a quantum stochastic process.     

Ground state description of bound polarons in parabolic quantum wires

The Feynman-Haken variational path integral theory is, for the first time, generalized to calculate the ground-state energy of an electron coupled simultaneously to a Coulomb potential and to a longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon field in parabolic quantum wires. It is shown that the polaronic correction to the ground-state energy is more sensitive to the electron-phonon coupling constant than the Coulomb binding parameter and monotonically stronger as the effective wire radius decreases. We apply our calculations to several semiconductor quantum wires and find that the polaronic correction can be considerably large. Received 16 November 1998     

Euclidean quantum gravity on a lattice

We construct a number of related euclidean lattice formulations of quantum gravity. The first version incorporates a path integral over discrete manifolds built out of four-cubes embedded in a higher dimensional flat hypercubic lattice. We show this expression is equal to a corresponding path integral in a local lattice field theory. The field theoretic path integral diverges and lacks a satisfactory vacuum state. This divergence can be interpreted as a consequence of a divergent phase space available for topological fluctuations in the four-manifolds of the original path integral. A modified version of the path integral over manifolds converges. We construct a Schrödinger equation and hamiltonian for the modified theory. The hamiltonian is self-adjoint, but as a result of the large phase space available for topological fluctuations, the hamiltonian's spectrum is probably not bounded from below. We show briefly how the flat enveloping space—time can be removed from most of the theories we present and how matter fields can be included.     

Shape invariant potentials in higher dimensions

In this paper we investigate the shape invariance property of a potential in one dimension. We show that a simple ansatz allows us to reconstruct all the known shape invariant potentials in one dimension. This ansatz can be easily extended to arrive at a large class of new shape invariant potentials in arbitrary dimensions. A reformulation of the shape invariance property and possible generalizations are proposed. These may lead to an important extension of the shape invariance property to Hamiltonians that are related to standard potential problems via space time transformations, which are found useful in path integral formulation of quantum mechanics.     

Analytical Solutions to the D-Dimensional Schrodinger Equation with the Eckart Potential

The analytical solutions to the Schrodinger equation with the Eckart potential in arbitrary dimension D is investigated by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method,and the centrifugal term is treated approximatively with the scheme of Greene and Aldrich.The discrete spectrum is obtained and the wavefunction is expressed in terms of the Jacobi polynomial or the hypergeometric function.Some special cases of the Eckart potential are discussed for D=3,and the resulting energy equation agrees well with that obtained by other methods.
