- Title: Soft quantum waveguides in three dimensions
- Authors: Pavel Exner
- Abstract summary: 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.

- Abstract: We discuss a three-dimensional soft quantum waveguide, in other words,
Schr\"odinger operator in $\R^3$ with an attractive potential supported by an
infinite tube and keeping its transverse profile fixed. We show that if the
tube is asymptotically straight, the distance between its ends is unbounded,
and its twist satisfies the so-called Tang condition, the esential spectrum is
not affected by smooth bends. Furthermore, we derive a sufficient condition,
expressed in terms of the tube geometry, for the discrete spectrum of such an
operator to be nonempty.

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.

We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory.
It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame.
The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system.
The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

For a spinless quantum particle in a one-dimensional box or an electromagnetic wave in a one-dimensional cavity, the respective Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions both lead to non-degenerate wave functions.
In two spatial dimensions, the symmetry of the box or microstrip antenna is an important feature that has often been overlooked in the literature.

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.
