Abstract

In this work, we present a number of numerical results for the bound state energies of one and two-particle systems in two adjacent 3D layers, connected through a window.We investigate the relation between the shape of a window and energy levels, as well as number of eigenfunction's nodal domains.

On the relation between nodal structures in quantum wave functions and particle correlation

Peter Schürger, Volker Engel

We study the influence of nodal structures in two-dimensional quantum mechanical densities on wave packet entanglement. This is motivated by our recent study [Entropy, 25, 970 (2023)], which showed that the mutual information derived from the momentum-space probability density of a coupled two-particle system exhibits an unusual time dependence, which is not encountered if the position-space density is employed in the calculation. In studying a model density, here, we identify cases where the mutual information increases with the number of nodes in the wave function and approaches a finite value, whereas in this limit, the linear correlation vanishes. The results of the analytical model are then applied to interpret the correlation measures for coupled electron-nuclear dynamics, which are treated by numerically solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation.

Hartree-Fock approximation for the problem of particle storage in deformed nanolayer

Ivan F. Melikhov, I. Yu. Popov

The paper deals with the problem of quantum particle storage in a nanolayered structures. The system of a few electrons interacting via a -potential is considered. The particles are placed into a two-dimensional deformed waveguide. From a mathematical point of view, the bound state of the system means that the corresponding Hamiltonian will have eigenvalues. To treat a multi-particle problem, the Hartree-Fock approach and the finite element method are used. Three different types of the perturbation are considered: deformation of the layer boundary, a small window in a wall between two layers and a bent layer. The systems of 2‐10 particles with various total spins are studied. The dependence of the minimal deformation parameter, which keeps bound state on the number of particles, is given. Comparison of the storage efficiencies in those cases is made.

Single-Particle State Mixing in Two-Electron Coupled Quantum Dots

Dmitriy V. Melnikov, Jean‐Pierre Leburton

The properties of an electron pair confined in a coupled quantum dot (QD) system are currently being intensively investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Indeed the manipulation of the two-electron spin states is paramount for the realization of controllable entanglement so as to produce the fundamental quantum gate operations in a solid state quantum computer. The works usually concentrate on the properties of a two-electron system without going into detailed analysis of the contributions from various single-particle states or the effects produced by the constituent single QDs. Zeeman splitting is neglected as it affects only the magnitude of the exchange energy but not the single-particle state mixing. In summary, after numerically diagonalizing the two-electron Schrodinger equation in the model confinement potential of both single and laterally coupled double quantum dots, we computed the contributions from the various single-particle states to the final two-particle wave function.

Two interacting particles in deformed nanolayer: discrete spectrum and particle storage

S I Popov, Maxim Gavrilov, I. Yu. Popov

The problem of particle storage in a nanolayered structure is considered. Local perturbations of the nanolayers can lead to the appearance of eigenvalues of the corresponding one-particle Hamiltonian. To study the particle storage it is necessary to deal with a multi-particle problem. The Hartree method and the finite element method are used. The discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian of two interacting particles is considered. Two different types of the perturbation are treated: deformation of the layer boundary and a small window in a wall between two layers. The relation between the system parameters (interaction intensity–waveguide deformation) ensuring the existence of a non-empty discrete spectrum is studied. Comparison of particle storage efficiencies in these two cases is made.

MULTI PARTICLE STATES CALCULATIONS AND PARTICLES STORAGE IN PERTURBED NANOLAYERS

Sergey I. Popov

The problem of particle storage in nanolayered structures will be considered. Local perturbations of nanolayers can lead to the appearanceof eigenvalues of the corresponding one-particle Hamiltonian. To study particle storage it is necessary to deal with the multi-particle problem. This problem faces essential computational difficulties due to the great increase of the spatial dimension. Using a composite of natural physical models, analytical methods and computational approaches allows one to simplify the problem and to obtain useful results for application. Particularly, the Hartree method and Finite Elements Method (FEM) are used. The discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian for two interacting particles is considered. Two different types of perturbation are considered: deformation of the layer boundary and a small window in a wall between two layers. The relation between the system parameters (interaction intensity - waveguide deformation) ensuring the existence of a non-empty discrete spectrum is studied. A comparison of particle storage efficiencies is made for these two cases.
