• Authors: Chris L. Lin
• Abstract summary: In this paper we show that this correspondence between scattering state normalization and the density of states is a consequence of the relation completeness. We then illustrate how the density of states can be used to calculate the partition function for a system of two particles with a point-like (delta potential) interaction.

• Abstract: The normalization of scattering states is more than a rote step necessary to calculate expectation values. This normalization actually contains important information regarding the density of the scattering spectrum (along with useful details on the bound states). For many applications, this information is more useful than the wavefunctions themselves. In this paper we show that this correspondence between scattering state normalization and the density of states is a consequence of the completeness relation, and we present formulas for calculating the density of states which are applicable to certain potentials. We then apply these formulas to the delta function potential and the square well. We then illustrate how the density of states can be used to calculate the partition function for a system of two particles with a point-like (delta potential) interaction.

  We consider an impurity in a weakly-interacting Bose gas and calculate the density profile of the Bose gas. The effect of quantum fluctuations drastically changes this behavior, leading to a power law decay of the density deviation from the mean density. The obtained results are exact in the impurity coupling strength and account for the leading order in the interaction between the particles of the Bose gas.

• Relativistic probability densities for location [0.0]
  We study the Born rule as a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics for relativistic particles. We find that those four proxies for particle location are tantalizingly close even in this extremely relativistic case. Our results confirm and illustrate that the normalized energy density provides a suitable measure for positions of bosons, whereas normalized charge density provides a suitable measure for fermions.
