Abstract

We study the local properties of the time-dependent probability density function for the free quantum particle in a box, i.e. the squared magnitude of the solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for the Schrödinger equation with zero potential, and

Some physical applications of fractional Schrödinger equation

Xiaoyi Guo, Mingyu Xu

The fractional Schrödinger equation is solved for a free particle and for an infinite square potential well. The fundamental solution of the Cauchy problem for a free particle, the energy levels and the normalized wave functions of a particle in a potential well are obtained. In the barrier penetration problem, the reflection coefficient and transmission coefficient of a particle from a rectangular potential wall is determined. In the quantum scattering problem, according to the fractional Schrödinger equation, the Green’s function of the Lippmann-Schwinger integral equation is given.

Stationary states General properties We shall consider first some general characteristics of the ‘stationary states’. These are eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian operator: The requirement that ψ satisfies the Schrödinger equation fixes its time dependence: Notice that (4.1.2) can only be a solution if the external potential V is independent of the time: V = V ( x ). The initial function ψ 0 is not arbitrary but must satisfy the time-independent Schrödinger equation (4.1.1). Writing ψ = R e iS /ħ one thus has The following deductions may be made from (4.1.3): ( a ) The probability density is independent of the time: |ψ| 2 = R 2 0 ( X ). ( b ) The quantum potential Q = (- ħ2/2 mR 0 )∇ 2 R 0 is time-independent. Therefore so is the total effective potential: ( c ) The velocity field v = (l/ m )∇ S 0 is independent of time and hence the trajectories, found by solving m = v ( x )| x = x ( t ) , are solutions of Moreover, ψ 0 ( x ) is often a real function for many bound state problems of interest (although not for scattering states) which implies that the velocity is zero. The particle is at rest where one would classically expect it to move since the quantum force (- ∇ Q ) cancels the classical force (- ∇ K ).

Quantum dynamics in a kicked square billiards

We study kicked particle dynamics in a rectangular quantum billiard.The kicking potential is chosen as localized at the center of the billiard.The exact solution for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a single kicking period is derived.Using this solution, the time-dependence of the average kinetic energy and probability density as a function of spatial coordinates are computed.Different regimes for trapping of the particle in kicking area are analyzed.It is found that depending of the values of kicking parameters, the average kinetic energy can be a periodic or a monotonically growing function of time or can be suppressed.Such behavior is explained in terms of particle trapping regimes.Wave packet dynamics are also studied.
