Abstract

The Schrödinger equation governs the probabilistic behavior of quantum particles through the wave function. Microlocal singularities denote regions with significantly high probability density or abrupt changes therein. By visualizing the probability distribution in time and space, we discern regions with higher probability density, indicative of potential microlocal singularities. These regions probably correspond to areas with a greater probability of particle presence. Such analysis aligns with Theorem 1, predicting characteristics of microlocal singularities of wave functions. Furthermore, Theorem 2 postulates that semiclassical path integrals along these singularities contribute significantly to solving the Schrödinger equation. Interpreting the temporal evolution of the probability density in the probability distribution visualization reveals the propagation of the particle over time. Regions of high density mean likely presence of particles at specific times, aligning with the predictions of Theorem 2. Consequently, the analysis of the contribution of high-density regions to the temporal evolution of the wave function resembles semi-classical path integral calculations. Thus, our findings demonstrate that visualization of probability distributions obtained from the numerical resolution of the Schrödinger equation allows a comprehensive interpretation of the behavior of quantum particles, consistent with the theorems.

The Quantum Microlocal Geometry of Distributional Singularities

Revista, Zen, MATH, 10

This paper explores the intricate relationship between quantum mechanics and microlocal analysis, specifically focusing on the geometrical description of distributional singularities within a quantum framework. We delve into how microlocal techniques, traditionally used to localize singularities in phase space for classical partial differential equations, can be extended and reinterpreted in the context of quantum systems. The core objective is to develop a robust theoretical framework that allows for a precise characterization and propagation analysis of wavefront sets for quantum states and operators. We investigate the quantum analogues of classical wavefront sets, leveraging the theory of pseudodifferential operators, symbol calculus, and deformation quantization. This approach provides a deeper understanding of how the singular structure of quantum distributions—representing wavefunctions, density matrices, or correlation functions—evolves under quantum dynamics. Furthermore, we examine the implications for semiclassical analysis, where the transition from quantum to classical microlocal geometry is studied. The insights gained from this quantum microlocal geometry offer new perspectives on phenomena such as quantum chaos, the propagation of quantum coherence, and the interpretation of quantum measurements, providing a powerful mathematical lens for probing the fine structure of quantum phenomena.

A Bohmian trajectory analysis of singular wave functions

Ángel S. Sanz, Luis Lorenzo Sánchez-Soto, Andrea Aiello

The Schrödinger equation admits smooth and finite solutions that spontaneously evolve into a singularity, even for a free particle. This blowup is generally ascribed to the intrinsic dispersive character of the associated time evolution. We resort to the notion of quantum Bohmian trajectories to relate this singular behavior to local phase variations, which generate an underlying velocity field responsible for driving the quantum flux toward the singular region.

Real time visualization of quantum walk

Akihide Miyazaki, Shinji Hamada, Hideo Sekino

Time evolution of quantum particles like electrons is described by time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE). The TDSE is regarded as the diffusion equation of electrons with imaginary diffusion coefficients. And the TDSE is solved by quantum walk (QW) which is regarded as a quantum version of a classical random walk. The diffusion equation is solved in discretized space/time as in the case of classical random walk with additional unitary transformation of internal degree of freedom typical for quantum particles. We call the QW for solution of the TDSE a Schrödinger walk (SW). For observation of one quantum particle evolution under a given potential in atto-second scale, we attempt a successive computation and visualization of the SW. Using Pure Data programming, we observe the correct behavior of a probability distribution under the given potential in real time for observers of atto-second scale.

Short time propagation of a singular wave function: Some surprising results

Avi Marchewka, Er’el Granot, Z. Schuss

The Schrödinger evolution of an initially singular wave function was investigated. First it was shown that a wide range of physical problems can be described by initially singular wave function. Then it was demonstrated that outside the support of the initial wave function the time evolution is governed to leading order by the values of the wave function and its derivatives at the singular points. Short-time universality appears where it depends only on a single parameter—the value at the singular point (not even on its derivatives). It was also demonstrated that the short-time evolution in the presence of an absorptive potential is different than in the presence of a nonabsorptive one. Therefore, this dynamics can be harnessed to the determination whether a potential is absorptive or not simply by measuring only the transmitted particles density.

Quantum mechanics describes phenomena that are key to understanding processes that cannot be explained by classical physics. This paper analyzes the behavior of particles in the presence of a potential barrier through numerical solutions to both time-dependent and time-independent Schrödinger equations. These results enabled a detailed understanding of the energy structure and temporal dynamics of wave functions, including the phenomenon of quantum tunneling. The obtained data have a wide range of applications in technology: from semiconductor devices to quantum computing.

On the microlocal phase-space concentration of Wigner distributions associated with Schrödinger evolutions

Gianluca Giacchi, Davide Tramontana

In this work, we investigate the microlocal properties of the evolutions of Schrödinger equations using metaplectic Wigner distributions. So far, only restricted classes of metaplectic Wigner distributions, satisfying particular structural properties, have allowed the analysis of microlocal properties. We first extend the microlocal results to all metaplectic Wigner distributions, including the well-known Kohn-Nirenberg quantization, and examine these findings in the framework of Fourier integral operators with quadratic phase. Finally, we analyze the phase space concentration of the (cross) Wigner distribution arising from the interaction of two states, with particular attention to interactions generated by certain Schrödinger evolutions. These contributions enable a more refined study of the so-called ghost frequencies.
