• Title: Quasi-Normal Modes from Bound States: The Numerical Approach
• Authors: Sebastian H. V\"olkel
• Abstract summary: The spectrum of quasi-normal modes of potential barriers is related to the spectrum of bound states of the corresponding potential wells. We propose an approach that allows one to make use of potentials with similar transformation properties, but where the spectrum of bound states can also be computed numerically. We find that the new approximate potentials are more suitable to approximate the exact quasi-normal modes than the P"oschl-Teller potential, particularly for the first overtone.

• Abstract: It is known that the spectrum of quasi-normal modes of potential barriers is related to the spectrum of bound states of the corresponding potential wells. This property has been widely used to compute black hole quasi-normal modes, but it is limited to a few "approximate" potentials with certain transformation properties for which the spectrum of bound states must be known analytically. In this work we circumvent this limitation by proposing an approach that allows one to make use of potentials with similar transformation properties, but where the spectrum of bound states can also be computed numerically. Because the numerical calculation of bound states is usually more stable than the direct computation of the corresponding quasi-normal modes, the new approach is also interesting from a technical point of view. We apply the method to different potentials, including the P\"oschl-Teller potential for which all steps can be understood analytically, as well as potentials for which we are not aware of analytic results but provide independent numerical results for comparison. As a canonical test, all potentials are chosen to match the Regge-Wheeler potential of axial perturbations of the Schwarzschild black hole. We find that the new approximate potentials are more suitable to approximate the exact quasi-normal modes than the P\"oschl-Teller potential, particularly for the first overtone. We hope this work opens new perspectives to the computation of quasi-normal modes and finds further improvements and generalizations in the future.

  We employ quantum state projectors to develop an explicitly gauge-invariant formalism.

We reveal its decomposition into the sum of the skewness of the occupied states and intrinsic multi-state geometry.

It is executable on current (hybrid) quantum hardware and does not depend on quantum memory. We study the effect of noise on the algorithm using a simple theoretical model based on the standard depolarising channel.

  We demonstrate the superiority of a first-principle nonlocal model -- Wigner function -- in treating singular potentials. The nonlocal nature of the Wigner equation is fully exploited to convert the singular potential into the Wigner kernel with weak or even no singularity. Numerically converged Wigner functions under all these singular potentials are obtained with an operator splitting spectral method.

  An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations. We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.
