On some problems of singular potentials in quantum mechanics

We discuss a possible approach to the absorption problem in Quantum Mechanics based on using of singular attractive potentials in the corresponding Schrödinger equations. Possible criteria for selection of exact solutions of these equations are considered and it is shown that different models of absorption can be realized by a special choice of exact solutions. As an example, the motion of charged particles in the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) and the scalar attractive $ρ^{-2}$ potentials is investigated in detail. Other attractive potentials are briefly considered.We discuss a possible approach to the absorption problem in Quantum Mechanics based on using of singular attractive potentials in the corresponding Schrödinger equations.

Quantum Potential and Cosmological Singularities

Sang Pyo Kim

We apply the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the quantum FRW cosmological model with a minimal massless scalar field. We find that the quantum FRW cosmological model has quantum potential dominated solutions that avoid the initial and the final cosmological singularities. It is suggested that the quantum potential and the back-reaction of geometry and matter fields may change the property of the cosmological singularities of the Universe. 1 E-mail: sangkim@knusun1.kunsan.ac.kr 1 Introduction One of the most prominent classical-mechanical problems that quantum mechanics can solve is the classical singularity. For example, an electron of an atom suffers from the instability that due to the infinitely negative Coulomb potential and the electron in a zero-momentum state should fall into the infinite potential 2 . In quantum mechanics, however, the s-wavefunction (zero orbital angular momentum state) of the electron has zero probability at the singula...We apply the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the quantum FRW cosmological model with a minimal massless scalar field.

Application of a quantum wave impedance method for zero-range singular potentials

Orest Hryhorchak

An application of a quantum wave impedance method for a study of quantum-mechanical systems which con\-tain singular zero-range potentials is considered. It was shown how to reformulate the problem of an investigation of mentioned systems in terms of a quantum wave impedance. As a result both the scattering and bound states problems are solved for systems of single $δ$ , double $δ$ and single $δ-δ'$ potentials. The formalization of solving systems with an arbitrary combination of a piesewise constant potential and a $δ$ -potentials with the help of a quantum wave impedance approach is described.An application of a quantum wave impedance method for a study of quantum-mechanical systems which con\-tain singular zero-range potentials is considered.
