Three-body inverse scattering problem

Two methods are suggested to reconstruct three-body potentials from three-body scattering data. This was achieved by using the reduction of the corresponding Schrödinger equation to a system of ordinary differential equations (not integro-differential equations as usual in the direct problem). Exactly solvable three-body models are presented. A new simple method for solving the multi-dimensional inverse problem in a finite-difference approximation is considered in the Appendix.     

A derivation of the Lorenz equations for some unstable dispersive physical systems

The amplitude equations which are valid in the neighbourhood of the bifurcation point of a class of dispersively unstable physical systems when small dissipation is included are shown to be transformable to the Lorenz equations. There is a strong connection with systems which yield equations solvable by the inverse scattering transform when damping is excluded and spatial variation included. Two examples are given in very brief detail: (1) a two-layer model for baroclinic instability, (2) the laser equations giving rise to the SIT equations.     

Quantum Tunneling in Time-Dependent Potential Barrier: a General Formulation and Some Exactly Solvable Models

Quantum tunneling in one spatial dimension in the presence of time-dependent potentials is investigated theoretically. First, a general multichannel formulation of the problem is given for harmonic time-dependence. The case of an oscillatory delta-function potential of constant strength is discussed at length and specific numerical calculations are presented for the reflection and transmission coefficients. Then other exactly solvable time-dependent potentials are obtained by carrying out successive unitary transformations. As an example of this class, a delta-function potential with time-dependent strength and boundary conditions is studied. Finally tunneling time-delay for time-dependent potentials is formulated in the multichannel situation, and also the concept of first passage time for the decay of a wave packet confined to one well of a double well potential is generalized for the case of time-dependent barrier and boundary conditions.     

Equation of state for the hard sphere model in the third virial coefficient approximation

Exactly solvable systems of infinite-dimensional integral equations are investigated. These systems approximate the hard sphere model and the Ising model for antiferromagnetism. An equation of state for the hard sphere model in the approximation of the third virial coefficient is obtained.     

Stochastic modeling of experimental chaotic time series

Methods developed recently to obtain stochastic models of low-dimensional chaotic systems are tested in electronic circuit experiments. We demonstrate that reliable drift and diffusion coefficients can be obtained even when no excessive time scale separation occurs. Crisis induced intermittent motion can be described in terms of a stochastic model showing tunneling which is dominated by state space dependent diffusion. Analytical solutions of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation are in excellent agreement with experimental data.     

A test model for fluctuation-dissipation theorems with time-periodic statistics

The recently developed time-periodic fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) provides a very convenient way of addressing the climate change of atmospheric systems with seasonal cycle by utilizing statistics of the present climate. A triad nonlinear stochastic model with exactly solvable first and second order statistics is introduced here as an unambiguous test model for FDT in a time-periodic setting. This model mimics the nonlinear interaction of two Rossby waves forced by baroclinic processes with a zonal jet forced by a polar temperature gradient. Periodic forcing naturally introduces the seasonal cycle into the model. The exactly solvable first and second order statistics are utilized to compute both the ideal mean and variance response to the perturbations in forcing or dissipation and the quasi-Gaussian approximation of FDT (qG-FDT) that uses the mean and the covariance in the equilibrium state. The time-averaged mean and variance qG-FDT response to perturbations of forcing or dissipation is compared with the corresponding ideal response utilizing the triad test model in a number of regimes with various dynamical and statistical properties such as weak or strong non-Gaussianity and resonant or non-resonant forcing. It is shown that even in a strongly non-Gaussian regime, qG-FDT has surprisingly high skill for the mean response to the changes in forcing. On the other hand, the performance of qG-FDT for the variance response to the perturbations of dissipation is good in the near-Gaussian regime and deteriorates in the strongly non-Gaussian regime. The results here on the test model should provide useful guidelines for applying the time-periodic FDT to more complex realistic systems such as atmospheric general circulation models.     

Quantum theory of a dissipative oscillator

The nonlinear equation of dissipative quantum mechanics is considered in the relaxation-time approximation. It is shown that the steady current-free state does not change when dissipation is taken into account; in particular, there is no ground-state damping, and the zero energy is conserved. A solution is obtained to the problem of the excitation of a harmonic oscillator, serving as a model of single-mode radiation in an open resonator; the solution obtained describes the evolution of the oscillator from an arbitrary steady state under the action of a constraining force. Transition probabilities between the oscillator steady states are calculated. The results are found to be in agreement with the classical theory of damping oscillations.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 99–105, September, 1978.

Some exactly solvable potentials in the position dependent mass background are generated whose bound states are given in terms of Laguerre- or Jacobi-type X₁ exceptional orthogonal polynomials. These potentials are shown to be shape invariant and isospectral to the potentials whose bound state solutions involve classical Laguerre or Jacobi polynomials.

An Alternative Approach to Jaynes-Cummings Model with Dissipation at Finite Temperature

An alternative approach to the Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM) with dissipation at a finite environmental temperature is presented in terms of a new master equation under Born-Markovian approximation. An analytic solution of the dissipation JCM is obtained. A variety ofphysical quantities of interest are calculated analytically. Dynamical properties of the atom and the field are investigated in some detail. It is shown that both cavity damping and environmental temperature strongly affect nonclassical effects in JCM, such as collapse and revivals of the atomic inversion, oscillations of the photon-number distribution, quadrature squeezing of the field and sub-Poissonian photon statistics.     

Dynamics of localized states in N = 4 SUSY QM

A consistent approach is offered for investigating the temporal dynamics of localized states. It is based on exactly solvable quantum mechanical models with multi-well potentials and the associate propagators. The Hamiltonian states with multi-well potentials form an adequate basis for expanding wave packets (WP) of various types and degrees of localization. Special features of WP tunneling have been studied with due regard for all Hamiltonian states with symmetric and asymmetric potentials.     

Caldeira-Leggett model, Landau damping, and the Vlasov-Poisson system

The Caldeira-Leggett Hamiltonian describes the interaction of a discrete harmonic oscillator with a continuous bath of harmonic oscillators. This system is a standard model of dissipation in macroscopic low temperature physics, and has applications to superconductors, quantum computing, and macroscopic quantum tunneling. The similarities between the Caldeira-Leggett model and the linearized Vlasov-Poisson equation are analyzed, and it is shown that the damping in the Caldeira-Leggett model is analogous to that of Landau damping in plasmas (Landau, 1946 [1]). An invertible linear transformation (Morrison and Pfirsch, 1992 [18]; Morrison, 2000 [19]) is presented that converts solutions of the Caldeira-Leggett model into solutions of the linearized Vlasov-Poisson system.     

Extracting Structure Parameters of Dimers for Molecular Tunneling Ionization Model

We determine structure parameters of the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)of 27 dimers for the molecular tunneling ionization(so called MO-ADK)model of Tong et al.[Phys.Rev.A 66(2002)033402].The molecular wave functions with correct asymptotic behavior are obtained by solving the time-independent Schr(o|¨)dinger equation with B-spline functions and molecular potentials which are numerically created using the density functional theory.We examine the alignment-dependent tunneling ionization probabilities from MO-ADK model for several molecules by comparing with the molecular strong-field approximation(MO-SFA)calculations.We show the molecular PerelomovPopov-Terent'ev(MO-PPT)can successfully give the laser wavelength dependence of ionization rates(or probabilities).Based on the MO-PPT model,two diatomic molecules having valence orbital with antibonding systems(i.e.,Cl_2,Ne_2)show strong ionization suppression when compared with their corresponding closest companion atoms.     

Methodology for the solutions of some reduced Fokker‐Planck equations in high dimensions

In this paper, a new methodology is formulated for solving the reduced Fokker‐Planck (FP) equations in high dimensions based on the idea that the state space of large‐scale nonlinear stochastic dynamic system is split into two subspaces. The FP equation relevant to the nonlinear stochastic dynamic system is then integrated over one of the subspaces. The FP equation for the joint probability density function of the state variables in another subspace is formulated with some techniques. Therefore, the FP equation in high‐dimensional state space is reduced to some FP equations in low‐dimensional state spaces, which are solvable with exponential polynomial closure method. Numerical results are presented and compared with the results from Monte Carlo simulation and those from equivalent linearization to show the effectiveness of the presented solution procedure. It attempts to provide an analytical tool for the probabilistic solutions of the nonlinear stochastic dynamics systems arising from statistical mechanics and other areas of science and engineering.     

APPROXIMATING THE HYSTERETIC DAMPING MATRIX BY A VISCOUS MATRIX FOR MODELLING IN THE TIME DOMAIN

The paper is concerned with modelling the dynamic behaviour of a structure with damping. Hysteretic damping is commonly accepted to be reasonably accurate in some circumstances, but can only be applied directly in the frequency domain. Dynamic (time) behaviour, however, is most conveniently predicted by a viscous model. A damping matrix is constructed for use in the viscous equation which gives a dissipation of energy approximating to the hysteretic model. The approximation is justified by comparing results in the frequency and time domains and against measured data from a loudspeaker diaphragm. The ability of the matrix to reflect different damping in various components of the structure is considered, together with predicted natural frequencies and modes.     

Entanglement of a two-particle Gaussian state interacting with a heat bath

The effect of a thermal reservoir is investigated on a bipartite Gaussian state. We derive a pre-Lindblad master equation in the non-rotating wave approximation for the system. We then solve the master equation for a bipartite harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian with entangled initial state. We show that for strong damping the loss of entanglement is the same as for freely evolving particles. However, if the damping is small, the entanglement is shown to oscillate and eventually tend to a constant non-zero value.     

Complex-Domain Semiclassical Theory: Application to Time-Dependent Barrier Tunneling Problems

Semiclassical theory based upon complexified classical mechanics is developed for periodically time-dependent scattering systems, which are minimal models of multi-dimensional systems. Semiclassical expression of the wave-matrix is derived, which is represented as the sum of the contributions from classical trajectories, where all the dynamical variables as well as the time are extended to the complex-domain. The semiclassical expression is examined by a periodically perturbed 1D barrier system and an excellent agreement with the fully quantum result is confirmed. In a stronger perturbation regime, the tunneling component of the wave-matrix exhibits a remarkable interference fringes, which is clarified by the semiclassical theory as an interference among multiple complex tunneling trajectories. It turns out that such a peculiar behavior is the manifestation of an intrinsic multi-dimensional effect closely related to a singular movement of singularities possessed by the complex classical trajectories.
