• Title: Multidimensional hydrogenic states: Position and momentum expectation values
• Authors: J. S. Dehesa, D. Puertas-Centeno
• Abstract summary: The position and momentum probability densities of a multidimensional quantum system are fully characterized by means of the radial expectation values $langle ralpha rangle$ and $leftlangle palpha rightrangle$, respectively. These quantities have not been calculated in an analytical and effective manner up until now except for a number of three-dimensional hydrogenic states.

• Abstract: The position and momentum probability densities of a multidimensional quantum system are fully characterized by means of the radial expectation values $\langle r^\alpha \rangle$ and $\left\langle p^\alpha \right\rangle$, respectively. These quantities, which describe and/or are closely related to various fundamental properties of realistic systems, have not been calculated in an analytical and effective manner up until now except for a number of three-dimensional hydrogenic states. In this work we explicitly show these expectation values for all discrete stationary $D$-dimensional hydrogenic states in terms of the dimensionality $D$, the strength of the Coulomb potential (i.e., the nuclear charge) and the $D$ state's hyperquantum numbers. Emphasis is placed on the momentum expectation values (mostly unknown, specially the ones with odd order) which are obtained in a closed compact form. Applications are made to circular, $S$-wave, high-energy (Rydberg) and high-dimensional (pseudo-classical) states of three- and multidimensional hydrogenic atoms. This has been possible because of the analytical algebraic and asymptotical properties of the special functions (orthogonal polynomials, hyperspherical harmonics) which control the states' wavefunctions. Finally, some Heisenberg-like uncertainty inequalities satisfied by these dispersion quantities are also given and discussed.

  We consider a class of Heisenberg all-to-all coupled spin models inspired by neutrino interactions in a supernova with $N$ degrees of freedom. These models are characterized by a coupling matrix that is relatively simple in the sense that there are only a few, relative to $N$, non-trivial eigenvalues.

• Subradiant emission from regular atomic arrays: universal scaling of decay rates from the generalized Bloch theorem [8.527960992762184]
  We show that a dispersion relation leads to the existence of subradiant states of finite one-dimensional arrays of $N$ atoms with decay rates scaling as $N-(s+1)$. This explains the recently discovered $N-3$ scaling and it leads to the prediction of power law scaling with higher power for special values of the lattice period.
