Use of computers to exclude the influence of radiometer instability upon measurement results
A radiometer, practically insensitive to great fluctuations in the equipment amplification coefficient, was developed by dividing the useful signal by a reference signal and modulating the two signals at different frequencies. The signals are simultaneously separated by corresponding synchronous detectors and recorded over two channels. The operation is simplified by replacing the continuous signals by a sampling of discrete values, and using a digital computer. The four steps involved in the process are described and a block diagram is included. This technique not only directly connects the radiometer with the computer, but also records all data provided by the control and signal channels
Self-consistent approach for the quantum confined Stark effect in shallow quantum wells
A computationally efficient, self-consistent complex scaling approach to
calculating characteristics of excitons in an external electric field in
quantum wells is introduced. The method allows one to extract the resonance
position as well as the field-induced broadening for the exciton resonance. For
the case of strong confinement the trial function is represented in factorized
form. The corresponding coupled self-consistent equations, which include the
effective complex potentials, are obtained. The method is applied to the
shallow quantum well. It is shown that in this case the real part of the
effective exciton potential is insensitive to changes of external electric
field up to the ionization threshold, while the imaginary part has
non-analytical field dependence and small for moderate electric fields. This
allows one to express the exciton quasi-energy at some field through the
renormalized expression for the zero-field bound state.Comment: 13 pages, RevTeX4, 6 figure
Decay modes of two repulsively interacting bosons
We study the decay of two repulsively interacting bosons tunneling through a
delta potential barrier by direct numerical solution of the time-dependent
Schr\"odinger equation. The solutions are analyzed according to the regions of
particle presence: both particles inside the trap (in-in), one particle in and
one particle out (in-out), and both particles outside (out-out). It is shown
that the in-in probability is dominated by exponential decay, and its decay
rate is predicted very well from outgoing boundary conditions.
Up to a certain range of interaction strength the decay of in-out probability
is dominated by the single particle decay mode.
The decay mechanisms are adequately described by simple models.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figure
Conceptual inconsistencies in finite-dimensional quantum and classical mechanics
Utilizing operational dynamic modeling [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 190403 (2012);
arXiv:1105.4014], we demonstrate that any finite-dimensional representation of
quantum and classical dynamics violates the Ehrenfest theorems. Other
peculiarities are also revealed, including the nonexistence of the free
particle and ambiguity in defining potential forces. Non-Hermitian mechanics is
shown to have the same problems. This work compromises a popular belief that
finite-dimensional mechanics is a straightforward discretization of the
corresponding infinite-dimensional formulation.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure

Fractal Weyl law for quantum fractal eigenstates
The properties of the resonant Gamow states are studied numerically in the
semiclassical limit for the quantum Chirikov standard map with absorption. It
is shown that the number of such states is described by the fractal Weyl law
and their Husimi distributions closely follow the strange repeller set formed
by classical orbits nonescaping in future times. For large matrices the
distribution of escape rates converges to a fixed shape profile characterized
by a spectral gap related to the classical escape rate.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figs, minor modifications, research at

Siegert pseudostates: completeness and time evolution
Within the theory of Siegert pseudostates, it is possible to accurately
calculate bound states and resonances. The energy continuum is replaced by a
discrete set of states. Many questions of interest in scattering theory can be
addressed within the framework of this formalism, thereby avoiding the need to
treat the energy continuum. For practical calculations it is important to know
whether a certain subset of Siegert pseudostates comprises a basis. This is a
nontrivial issue, because of the unusual orthogonality and overcompleteness
properties of Siegert pseudostates. Using analytical and numerical arguments,
it is shown that the subset of bound states and outgoing Siegert pseudostates
forms a basis. Time evolution in the context of Siegert pseudostates is also
investigated. From the Mittag-Leffler expansion of the outgoing-wave Green's
function, the time-dependent expansion of a wave packet in terms of Siegert
pseudostates is derived. In this expression, all Siegert pseudostates--bound,
antibound, outgoing, and incoming--are employed. Each of these evolves in time
in a nonexponential fashion. Numerical tests underline the accuracy of the
method
Anti-de-Sitter Island-Universes from 5D Standing Waves
We construct simple standing wave solutions in a 5D space-time with a ghost
scalar field. The nodes of these standing waves are 'islands' of 4D Minkowski
space-time. For the 5D model with increasing (decreasing) warp factor there are
a finite (infinite) number of nodes and thus Minkowski island-universes having
different parameters, such as gravitational and cosmological constants. This
feature is similar to the assumptions of the landscape models, which postulate
a large number of universes with different parameters. This standing wave
solution also provides a new localization mechanism - matter fields can reside
only on Minkowski 'islands', where the background space-time does not
oscillate.Comment: 14 page pre-print format. Discussion about connection to Weyl gravity

Theory of x-ray absorption by laser-dressed atoms
An ab initio theory is devised for the x-ray photoabsorption cross section of
atoms in the field of a moderately intense optical laser (800nm, 10^13 W/cm^2).
The laser dresses the core-excited atomic states, which introduces a dependence
of the cross section on the angle between the polarization vectors of the two
linearly polarized radiation sources. We use the Hartree-Fock-Slater
approximation to describe the atomic many-particle problem in conjunction with
a nonrelativistic quantum-electrodynamic approach to treat the photon-electron
interaction. The continuum wave functions of ejected electrons are treated with
a complex absorbing potential that is derived from smooth exterior complex
scaling. The solution to the two-color (x-ray plus laser) problem is discussed
in terms of a direct diagonalization of the complex symmetric matrix
representation of the Hamiltonian. Alternative treatments with time-independent
and time-dependent non-Hermitian perturbation theories are presented that
exploit the weak interaction strength between x rays and atoms. We apply the
theory to study the photoabsorption cross section of krypton atoms near the K
edge. A pronounced modification of the cross section is found in the presence
of the optical laser.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, 1 table, RevTeX4, corrected typoe
