Authors: Maxim Mazanov and Konstantin Y. Bliokh
Abstract summary: vortex-induced times delays and spatial shifts of 2D vortices are studied. Time delays and shifts are resonantly enhanced in the vicinity of the critical angle formulae and near transmission resonances for a rectangular barrier.

Abstract: We consider reflection and transmission of 2D quantum wavepackets with phase vortices (also known in optics as spatiotemporal vortex pulses) at potential step-like, delta-function, and rectangular barriers. The presence of a vortex significantly modifies the Wigner time delays and Goos-H\"{a}nchen shifts, previously studied for Gaussian-like wavepackets. In particular, the scattered wavepackets undergo non-zero time delays and lateral shifts even for purely real scattering coefficients, when the standard Wigner and Artmann formulae vanish. We derive analytical expressions for the vortex-induced times delays and spatial shifts of 2D vortices and verify these with numerical calculations of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation. The time delays and shifts are resonantly enhanced in the vicinity of the critical-angle incidence for a step-like potential and near transmission resonances for a rectangular barrier.

We consider the two-dimensional quantum Ising model, in absence of disorder, subject to periodic imperfect global spin flips. We show by a combination of exact diagonalization and tensor-network methods that the system can sustain a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.

We show the close connection between the impulse change in quantum mechanics and angular deviations in optics. The classical formula for the delay time is based on the use of the stationary phase method. The closed expression for the delay time for incidence at critical energy show an excellent agreement with the numerical calculation.

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.
