Simulation of tunneling in the quantum tomography approach

Yu. E. Lozovik, Vladimir A. Sharapov, A. S. Arkhipov

A method for the simulation of nonstationary quantum processes is proposed. The method is based on the tomography representation of quantum mechanics, i.e., the state of the system is described by a nonnegative function (quantum tomogram). In the framework of the method one uses the ensemble of trajectories in the tomographic space to represent evolution of the system (therefore direct calculation of the quantum tomogram is avoided). To illustrate the method we consider the problem of nonstationary tunneling of a wave packet. A number of characteristics of tunneling, such as tunneling time, evolution of spatial and momentum distributions, and tunneling probability are calculated within the quantum tomography approach. Tunneling of a wave packet of a composite particle, an exciton, is also considered; exciton ionization due to the scattering on the barrier is analyzed.

Scattering of matter waves in spatially inhomogeneous environments

F. Tsitoura, P. Krüger, P. G. Kevrekidis +1 more

We study scattering of quasi-one-dimensional matter waves at an interface of two spatial domains, one with repulsive and one with attractive interatomic interactions. It is shown that the incidence of a Gaussian wave packet from the repulsive to the attractive region gives rise to generation of a soliton train. More specifically, the number of emergent solitons can be controlled, e.g., by the variation of the amplitude or the width of the incoming wave packet. Furthermore, we study the reflectivity of a soliton incident from the attractive region to the repulsive one. We find the reflection coefficient numerically and employ analytical methods, which treat the soliton as a particle (for moderate and large amplitudes) or a quasilinear wave packet (for small amplitudes), to determine the critical soliton momentum (as a function of the soliton amplitude) for which total reflection is observed.
