• Authors: Farhang Loran and Ali Mostafazadeh
• Abstract summary: The Helmholtz equation in one dimension describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves in effectively one-dimensional systems. The fact that the potential term entering the latter is energy-dependent obstructs the application of the results on low-energy quantum scattering. We use a recently developed dynamical formulation of stationary scattering to offer a comprehensive treatment of the low-frequency scattering of these waves for a general finite-range scatterer.

• Abstract: The Helmholtz equation in one dimension, which describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves in effectively one-dimensional systems, is equivalent to the time-independent Schr\"odinger equation. The fact that the potential term entering the latter is energy-dependent obstructs the application of the results on low-energy quantum scattering in the study of the low-frequency waves satisfying the Helmholtz equation. We use a recently developed dynamical formulation of stationary scattering to offer a comprehensive treatment of the low-frequency scattering of these waves for a general finite-range scatterer. In particular, we give explicit formulas for the coefficients of the low-frequency series expansion of the transfer matrix of the system which in turn allow for determining the low-frequency expansions of its reflection, transmission, and absorption coefficients. Our general results reveal a number of interesting physical aspects of low-frequency scattering particularly in relation to permittivity profiles having balanced gain and loss.

  We propose a model of spontaneous wave-function collapse based on a random nonHermitian action where the fermion density operator is coupled to a universal colored noise. We analytically determine the noise-induced localization length, which decreases as the size of the observable universe increases.

• Dynamical formulation of low-frequency scattering in two and three dimensions [0.0]
  Theory of scattering in one dimension can be expressed in terms of the time-evolution operator for an effective non-unitary quantum system. In two and three dimensions, there is a similar formulation of stationary scattering where the scattering properties of the scatterer are extracted from the evolution operator. We obtain explicit formulas for low-frequency scattering amplitude, examine their effectiveness in the study of a class of exactly solvable scattering problems, and outline their application in devising a low-frequency cloaking scheme.

We can predict the asymmetric gain spectrum of a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier due to non-zero substrate losses.

  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.
