Cosine-type Absorbing Optical Potential for the Modeling of Quantum Dynamics with the Fourier Grid and Optimizer Packages
V. B. Sovkov, Wu J., Ma J.
Abstract
In order to model the spectroscopic and scattering properties of a quantum system, we propose and explore a new absorbing complex-type optical potential based on a combination of cosine functions. This function provides a high degree of smoothness to joint with a physical real-type potential. The capabilities of this function are investigated in terms of its effect on otherwise freely evolving quantum dynamics. We use our open-source programs to implement the Fourier Grid method with the Optimizer package (in Matlab), freely available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/optimizer-sovkov/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/optimizer-sovkov/. Keywords: quantum dynamics; damping boundary conditions; optical potential; Fourier Grid method; spectroscopy of ultracold ensembles.
