Abstract

A quantum graph, consisting of a ring and segment is considered.We deal with the free Schrödinger ooperator at the edges and Kirchhoff conditions at the internal vertex.The lengths of the graph edges varies in time.Time evolution of wave packet is studied for different parameters of length varying law.

Time evolution and the Schrödinger equation on time dependent quantum graphs *

Uzy Smilansky, Gilad Sofer

Abstract The purpose of the present paper is to discuss the time dependent Schrödinger equation on a metric graph with time-dependent edge lengths, and the proper way to pose the problem so that the corresponding time evolution is unitary. We show that the well posedness of the Schrödinger equation can be guaranteed by replacing the standard Kirchhoff Laplacian with a magnetic Schrödinger operator with a harmonic potential. We then generalize the result to time dependent families of vertex conditions. We also apply the theory to show the existence of a geometric phase associated with a slowly changing quantum graph.

Time-dependent metric graph: Wave dynamics

Антон Юрьевич Попов, I. Yu. Popov, D S Nikiforov +1 more

We consider a metric graph under the assumption that lengths of its edges vary in time. The dynamics of waves of different nature on the graph is compared. We investigate classical waves governed by wave equation, non-relativistic quantum (Schrödinger) particles and relativistic (Dirac) particles. Star like graph and graph with a loop are considered.

Aharonov-Bohm ring (AB ring) is an element frequently used in nanosystems.The paper deals with wave dynamics on quantum graph consisting of AB ring coupled to a segment.It is assumed that the lengths of the edges vary in time.Variable replacement is made to come to the problem for stationary geometric graph.The obtained equation is solved using the expansion with respect to a complete system of eigenfunctions of the unperturbed self-adjoint operator for the stationary graph.The coefficients of the expansion are found as solutions of a system of differential equations numerically.The influence of the magnetic field is studied.The comparison with the case of stable geometric graph is made.

Driven transparent quantum graphs

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the concept of quantum graphs with transparent vertices by considering the case, where the graph interacts with an external time-independent field. In particular, we address the problem of transparent boundary conditions for quantum graphs, building on previous works on transparent boundary conditions for the stationary Schrödinger equation on a line. Physically relevant constraints that make the vertex transparent under boundary conditions in the form of (weight) continuity and Kirchhoff rules are derived using two approaches, where transparent boundary conditions for the time-independent Schrödinger equation are found. The latter is derived by extending the transparent boundary condition concept to the time-independent Schrödinger equation on driven quantum graphs. For the constant potential, these constraints are also obtained using the scattering approach. We also discuss how the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a quantum graph are influenced not only by its topology, but also by the shape/type of a potential when an external field is involved.

Quantum graphs as holonomic constraints

Gianfausto Dell’Antonio, Lucattilio Tenuta

We consider the dynamics on a quantum graph as the limit of the dynamics generated by a one-particle Hamiltonian in R2 with a potential having a deep strict minimum on the graph, when the width of the well shrinks to zero. For a generic graph we prove convergence outside the vertices to the free dynamics on the edges. For a simple model of a graph with two edges and one vertex, we prove convergence of the dynamics to the one generated by the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions in the vertex.
