• Abstract: A numerical method of solving the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation for the regular and irregular continuum states using the phase-amplitude representation is presented. Our solution acquires the correct Dirac-delta normalization by wisely enforcing the amplitude and phase boundary values. Our numerical test involving point-wise relative errors with the known Coulomb functions shows that the present method approximates both the regular and irregular wavefunctions with similar, excellent accuracy. This is done by using new basis polynomials that, among other advantages, can elegantly enforce the derivative continuity of any order. The current phase-amplitude method is implemented here to study the continuum states of Coulomb-screened potentials. We discovered that, during the parametric transition from a Hydrogen atom to the Yukawa potential, the electronic density at the origin exhibits surprising oscillation -- a phenomenon apparently unique to the continuum states.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
