    Quantum Manifestations of Classical Stochasticity in the Mixed State

    Full text link
    We investigate the QMCS in structure of the eigenfunctions, corresponding to mixed type classical dynamics in smooth potential of the surface quadrupole oscillations of a charged liquid drop. Regions of different regimes of classical motion are strictly separated in the configuration space, allowing direct observation of the correlations between the wave function structure and type of the classical motion by comparison of the parts of the eigenfunction, corresponding to different local minima.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

    Multi-Well Potentials in Quantum Mechanics and Stochastic Processes

    Full text link
    Using the formalism of extended N=4 supersymmetric quantum mechanics we consider the procedure of the construction of multi-well potentials. We demonstrate the form-invariance of Hamiltonians entering the supermultiplet, using the presented relation for integrals, which contain fundamental solutions. The possibility of partial N=4 supersymmetry breaking is determined. We also obtain exact forms of multi-well potentials, both symmetric and asymmetric, using the Hamiltonian of harmonic oscillator as initial. The modification of the shape of potentials due to variation of parameters is also discussed, as well as application of the obtained results to the study of tunneling processes. We consider the case of exact, as well as partially broken N=4 supersymmetry. The distinctive feature of obtained probability densities and potentials is a parametric freedom, which allows to substantially modify their shape. We obtain the expressions for probability densities under the generalization of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process

    Classification of irreps and invariants of the N-extended Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics

    Full text link
    We present an algorithmic classification of the irreps of the NN-extended one-dimensional supersymmetry algebra linearly realized on a finite number of fields. Our work is based on the 1-to-1 \cite{pt} correspondence between Weyl-type Clifford algebras (whose irreps are fully classified) and classes of irreps of the NN-extended 1D supersymmetry. The complete classification of irreps is presented up to N10N\leq 10. The fields of an irrep are accommodated in ll different spin states. N=10 is the minimal value admitting length l>4l>4 irreps. The classification of length-4 irreps of the N=12 and {\em real} N=11 extended supersymmetries is also explicitly presented.\par Tensoring irreps allows us to systematically construct manifestly (NN-extended) supersymmetric multi-linear invariants {\em without} introducing a superspace formalism. Multi-linear invariants can be constructed both for {\em unconstrained} and {\em multi-linearly constrained} fields. A whole class of off-shell invariant actions are produced in association with each irreducible representation. The explicit example of the N=8 off-shell action of the (1,8,7)(1,8,7) multiplet is presented.\par Tensoring zero-energy irreps leads us to the notion of the {\em fusion algebra} of the 1D NN-extended supersymmetric vacua.Comment: Final version to appear in JHEP. 52 pages. The part with the complete classification of irreps (and the explicit presentation of length-4 irreps of N=9,10,11,12 and N=10 length-5 irreps) is unchanged. An extra section has been added with an entire class of off-shell invariant actions for arbitrary values N of the 1D extended supersymmetry. A non-trivial N=8 off-shell action for the (1,8,7) multiplet has been constructed as an example. It is obtained in terms of the octonionic structure constant

    A New Two-Parameter Family of Potentials with a Tunable Ground State

    Full text link
    In a previous paper we solved a countably infinite family of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equations by showing that they were supersymmetric partner potentials of the standard quantum harmonic oscillator. In this work we extend these results to find the complete set of real partner potentials of the harmonic oscillator, showing that these depend upon two continuous parameters. Their spectra are identical to that of the harmonic oscillator, except that the ground state energy becomes a tunable parameter. We finally use these potentials to analyse the physical problem of Bose-Einstein condensation in an atomic gas trapped in a dimple potential.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure
