- Title: Spectral properties of soft quantum waveguides
- Authors: Pavel Exner
- Abstract summary: We consider a soft quantum waveguide described by a two-dimensional Schr"odinger operators with an attractive potential in the form of a channel of a fixed profile built along an infinite smooth curve.
We show that the discrete spectrum of such an operator is nonempty if the potential well defining the channel profile is deep and narrow enough.

- Abstract: We consider a soft quantum waveguide described by a two-dimensional
Schr\"odinger operators with an attractive potential in the form of a channel
of a fixed profile built along an infinite smooth curve which is not straight
but it is asymptotically straight in a suitable sense. Using Birman-Schwinger
principle we show that the discrete spectrum of such an operator is nonempty if
the potential well defining the channel profile is deep and narrow enough. Some
related problems are also mentioned.

We show how the eigenvalues accumulate when the angle between the asymptotes tends to zero.
In case of parallel asymptotes the existence of a discrete spectrum depends on the ditch profile.

and connections to phase-space and Keldysh field theory formulations [77.34726150561087]
We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods.
We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians.
For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

We discuss a three-dimensional soft quantum waveguide with an attractive potential supported by an infinite tube and keeping its transverse profile fixed.
We show that if the tube is straight, the distance between its ends is unbounded, and its twist satisfies the so-called Tang condition.
We derive a sufficient condition, expressed in terms of the tube geometry, for the discrete spectrum of such an operator to be nonempty.

We consider two-dimensional Schroedinger operators with an attractive potential in the form of a channel of a fixed profile built along an unbounded curve composed of a circular arc and two straight semi-lines.
This is a special variant of a recent result of Exner in a non-smooth case and via a different technique which does not require non-positive constraining potentials.

We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit.
We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
