• Title: Nonlocalization of singular potentials in quantum dynamics
• Authors: Sihong Shao, Lili Su
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Nonlocal modeling has drawn more and more attention and becomes steadily more powerful in scientific computing. In this paper, we demonstrate the superiority of a first-principle nonlocal model -- Wigner function -- in treating singular potentials which are often used to model the interaction between point charges in quantum science. 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, and thus highly accurate numerical approximations are achievable, which are hardly designed when the singular potential is taken into account in the local Schr\"odinger equation. The Dirac delta function, the logarithmic, and the inverse power potentials are considered. Numerically converged Wigner functions under all these singular potentials are obtained with an operator splitting spectral method, and display many interesting quantum behaviors as well.

• The Potential Inversion Theorem [0.0]
  We prove the potential inversion theorem, which says that wavefunction probability in these models is preserved under the sign inversion of the potential energy. We show how the potential inversion theorem illustrates several seemingly unrelated physical phenomena, including Bloch oscillations, localization, particle-hole symmetry, negative potential scattering, and magnetism.

  Superexponential potentials with an oscillating power show a rich spectral structure with varying amplitudes and wave vectors. In the parity symmetric case doublets of near degenerate energy eigenvalues emerge in the spectrum.
