- Abstract summary: The Wigner time delay of slow particles in the process of their elastic scattering by complex targets is investigated.
The Huygens-Fresnel interference pattern formed by spherical waves emitted by each of the potentials is transformed into a system of spherical waves generated by the center of the target.
General formulas that connect the s-phase shifts of particle scattering by each of the zero-range potentials with the phases of particle scattering by the potential cluster forming the target are obtained.

- Abstract: The Wigner time delay of slow particles in the process of their elastic
scattering by complex targets formed by several zero-range potentials is
investigated. It is shown that at asymptotically large distances from the
target, the Huygens-Fresnel interference pattern formed by spherical waves
emitted by each of the potentials is transformed into a system of spherical
waves generated by the geometric center of the target. These functions
determine flows of particles in and out through the surface of the sphere
surrounding the target. The energy derivatives of phase shifts of these
functions are the partial Wigner time delay. General formulas that connect the
s-phase shifts of particle scattering by each of the zero-range potentials with
the phases of particle scattering by the potential cluster forming the target
are obtained. Model targets consisting of two-, three- and 4-centers are
considered. It is assumed that these targets are built from identical
delta-potentials with equal distances between their centers. The partial Wigner
time delay of slow particles by considered targets are obtained. We apply the
derived general formulas to consideration of electron scattering by atomic
clusters that trap electron near the target, and by calculating the times delay
of mesons scattered by few-nucleons systems.

It is generally believed that the de Broglie-Bohm model does not admit a particle interpretation for massive relativistic spin-0 particles.
We show this situation is due to the fact that in the standard (canonical) representation of the Klein-Gordon equation the wavefunction systematically contains superpositions of particle and anti-particle contributions.

Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration.
This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics.
Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.

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.
