Bound states of a particle in the field of two pointlike δ centers are considered in the 3D problem. The exact solution to the Schrödinger equation is obtained for a system of scattered centers.
The space-fractional Schrödinger equation for a local potential is difficult to solve because the fractional Riesz operator in it is nonlocal. In fractional quantum mechanics, the infinite wall is a basic problem and has not been solved yet. In this paper, we consider a free particle in an infinite wall region. Making use of the Lévy path integral method, we derive the Lévy path integral amplitude of the particle and take advantage of it to get the solution of the fractional Schrödinger equation for an infinite wall. Then, the infinite wall potential with a delta-function perturbation is also studied. According to Fox’s H-function, we get an equation of bound state energies of a free particle moving in an infinite wall region perturbed by the δ-function for two situations, E < 0 and E > 0. We give a transcendental equation that determines energy levels when E < 0 and prove that there is no bound states when E > 0. The asymptotic behaviors of the center of the delta function approaching to the origin and the infinite are also shown. The results of this paper include special cases in standard quantum mechanics.
We establish the exact solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a delta-function impurity, representing a pointlike defect which reflects and transmits. We solve the problem both at the classical and the second quantized levels. In the quantum case the Zamolodchikov–Faddeev algebra, familiar from the case without impurities, is substituted by the recently discovered reflection-transmission (RT) algebra, which captures both particle–particle and particle–impurity interactions. The off-shell quantum solution is expressed in terms of the generators of the RT algebra and the exact scattering matrix of the theory is derived.
