Role of quantum vortices in atomic scattering from single adsorbates

Ángel S. Sanz, F. Borondo, Salvador Miret-Artés

The scattering of He atoms from adsorbed CO molecules on the Pt(111) surface is described within the formalism of quantum trajectories provided by Bohmian mechanics. We show that the main mechanism leading to the formation of quantum rainbows and resonance enhanced trapping is quantum vortices.

OBSERVABLES, MEASUREMENTS AND PHASE OPERATORS FROM A BOHMIAN PERSPECTIVE

Xtartin Daumer

Bohmian mechanics is a deterministic theory of point particles in motion. While avoid. ing all the paradoxes of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, it, yields the quantum formalism itself—especially the role of self-adjoint operators--as a macroscopic measurement, formal ism. As an "application " it is shown that much of the confusion connected with the phase operator for the electromagnetic field arises froni a misunderstanding of t,he role of operators in quantum theory. 1
