Abstract

In this study, we investigate the transport properties of Airy and Hermit-Gaussian wavepackets traveling through a Gaussian potential well in the standard and fractional media. We use a split step Fourier method to solve the corresponding two-dimensional fractional nonlinear linear Schrodinger equation. We study the interference phenomenon, Huygens principle and trapping properties of the system in different situations. For this purpose, the position of the system has also selected inside the potential well to consider the wavepacket evolution. Then, the effect of the well and incident wavepackets parameters on the evolution the transport properties of employed wavepackets have properly been considered.

Fractional Young double-slit numerical experiment with Gaussian wavepackets

Mahboubeh Ghalandari, M. Solaimani

In the present work, we consider the transmission properties of a Gaussian wavepacket when transmits through few double and multi-slit systems in a fractional medium. For this purpose, we have solved the two-dimensional fractional Schrodinger equation utilizing a split-step Fourier method. Then, we have investigated the effects of different parameters such as the number of slits, slit width, barrier width, layer width, layer heights, fractional order, and wavepacket width on the transmission coefficient, and wavepacket evolution.

The exotic behavior of the wave evolution in Lévy crystals within a fractional medium

Z. Zakeri, M. Solaimani, Leila Lavaei +1 more

We investigate a traveling Gaussian wave packet transport through a rectangular quantum barrier of lévy crystals in fractional quantum mechanics formalism. We study both standard and fractional Schrödinger equations in linear and nonlinear regimes by using a split-step finite difference (SSFD) method. We evaluate the reflection, trapping, and transmission coefficients of the wave packet and the wave packet spreading by using time-dependent inverse participation ratio (IPR) and second moment. By simultaneously adjusting the fractional and nonlinear terms, we create sharp pulses, which is an essential issue in optoelectronic devices. We illustrate that the effects of barrier height and width on the transmission coefficient are strangely different for the standard and fractional Schrödinger equations. We observe fortunately soliton-like localized wave packets in the fractional regime. Thus, we can effectively control the behavior of the wave evolution by adjusting the available parameters, which can excite new ideas in optics.

Wave packet splitter and rectificator based on the Dirac delta potentials in a fractional medium

M. Solaimani

In this work, we have investigated the Gaussian and Airy wave packets colliding on the Dirac delta potentials. We have used the time-dependent space-fractional Schrodinger equation and solved it by using the slit step finite difference method. Here, we have presented some exclusive exotic propagation properties of Dirac delta potential that cannot be observed for other very similar potentials such as one-dimensional coulomb potential. We can now rectify any number of colliding wave packets provided that the correct parameters adjustment is possible. We have also addressed the wave packet speed control, wave packet splitting, wave packet rectification through collision process, wave packet dispersion, etc. The effects of different parameters such as the nonlinearity, fractitionality, dispersion, etc. on the wave packet-delta potential collision are also considered.

Tunable Superarrival in Fractional Quantum Media

Maryam Sabzevar, Mohammad Ehsani, Mehdi Soleimani

In this study, we present a numerical investigation of wave packet dynamics in a nonlinear and dispersive medium described by the space-fractional Schrödinger equation, with direct relevance to quantum electronic device applications. Employing the Split-Step Finite Difference (SSFD) method, we analyse the superarrival phenomenon, where the arrival time of a Gaussian wave packet is accelerated due to the presence of a decelerating potential barrier. Two key configurations are explored: a barrier approaching the wave packet and a receding one. We show that the superarrival response is highly sensitive to system parameters such as the fractional order, nonlinearity, dispersion, and the barrier's motion profile. Our findings demonstrate that superarrival can be effectively tuned, offering new design strategies for emerging quantum electronic components such as ultrafast signal switches, wave-based logic gates, and controllable tunneling junctions in nano-engineered systems. This work bridges fundamental quantum transport with the functionality of next-generation electronic devices.

Wave Packet Superarrival in Fractional Nanostructured Media with Decelerating Potentials: Implications for Optoelectronic Applications

Maryam Sabzevar, Mehdi Solaymani, M.H. Ehsani

Superarrival, a quantum effect where a wave packet arrives earlier than its free-space counterpart, is investigated in fractional nanostructured media. We model a Gaussian wave packet interacting with a uniformly decelerating potential barrier or well using the fractional Schrödinger equation and the Split-Step Finite Difference method. The impact of the Lévy stability index, wave packet width, and initial distance on superarrival is analyzed. Results show that fractional media strongly enhance superarrival, especially for wider, low-energy packets interacting with barriers. These findings underscore the role of nonlocality in quantum transport and suggest potential applications in nanoscale optoelectronic devices such as tunable delay lines, ultrafast modulators, and quantum information processors.

Analysis of Time-Evolution of Gaussian Wavepackets in Non-Hermitian Systems

Amartya Bose

Simulation and analysis of multidimensional dynamics of a quantum non-Hmeritian system is a challenging problem. Gaussian wavepacket dynamics has proven to be an intuitive semiclassical approach to approximately solving the dynamics of quantum systems. A Gaussian wavepacket approach is proposed for a continuous space extension to the Hatano-Nelson model that enables transparent analysis of the dynamics in terms of complex classical trajectories. We demonstrate certain cases where the configuration space trajectory can be made fully real by transforming the initial conditions to account for the non-Hermiticity appropriately through the momentum coordinates. However, in general the complex phase space is unavoidable. For the cases where the trajectory is real, the effective force can be decomposed into that due to the potential energy surface and that due to the imaginary vector potential. The impact of the vector potential on the trajectory of the wavepacket is directly proportional to both the strength of the vector potential and the width of the wavepacket.
