Solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation by combining smooth exterior complex scaling and Arnoldi propagator

Abstract We develop a highly efficient scheme for numerically solving the three-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation of the single-active-electron atom in the field of laser pulses by combining smooth exterior complex scaling(SECS)absorbing method and Arnoldi propagation method.Such combination has not been reported in the literature.The proposed scheme is particularly useful in the applications involving long-time wave propagation.The SECS is a wonderful absorber,but its application results in a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian,invalidating propagators utilizing the Hermitian symmetry of the Hamiltonian.We demonstrate that the routine Arnoldi propagator can be modified to treat the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian.The efficiency of the proposed scheme is checked by tracking the time-dependent electron wave packet in the case of both weak extreme ultraviolet(XUV)and strong infrared(IR)laser pulses.Both perfect absorption and stable propagation are observed.

Localized waves in three-component coupled nonlinear Schrdinger equation

We study the generalized Darboux transformation to the three-component coupled nonlinear Schr ¨odinger equation.First-and second-order localized waves are obtained by this technique.In first-order localized wave,we get the interactional solutions between first-order rogue wave and one-dark,one-bright soliton respectively.Meanwhile,the interactional solutions between one-breather and first-order rogue wave are also given.In second-order localized wave,one-dark-one-bright soliton together with second-order rogue wave is presented in the first component,and two-bright soliton together with second-order rogue wave are gained respectively in the other two components.Besides,we observe second-order rogue wave together with one-breather in three components.Moreover,by increasing the absolute values of two free parameters,the nonlinear waves merge with each other distinctly.These results further reveal the interesting dynamic structures of localized waves in the three-component coupled system.

Extra Time Dimension: Deriving Relativistic Space-Time Transformations, Kinematics, and Example of Dimensional Compactification Using Time-Dependent Non-Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

We consider a five-dimensional Minkowski space with two time dimensions characterized by distinct speeds of causality and three space dimensions. Formulas for relativistic coordinate and velocity transformations are derived, leading to a new expression for the speed limit. Extending the ideas of Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity, concepts of five-velocity and five-momenta are introduced. We get a new formula for the rest energy of a massive object. Based on a non-relativistic limit, a two-time dependent Schrödinger-like equation for infinite square-well potential is developed and solved. The extra time dimension is compactified on a closed loop topology with a period matching the Planck time. It generates interference of additional quantum states with an ultra-small period of oscillation. Some cosmological implications of the concept of four-dimensional versus five-dimensional masses are briefly discussed, too.

Two-Grid Crank-Nicolson FiniteVolume Element Method for the Time-Dependent Schrodinger Equation

In this paper,we construct a Crank-Nicolson finite volume element scheme and a two-grid decoupling algorithm for solving the time-dependent Schr¨odinger equation.Combining the idea of two-grid discretization,the decoupling algorithm involves solving a small coupling system on a coarse grid space and a decoupling system with two independent Poisson problems on a fine grid space,which can ensure the accuracy while the size of coarse grid is much coarser than that of fine grid.We further provide the optimal error estimate of these two schemes rigorously by using elliptic projection operator.Finally,numerical simulations are provided to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis.

A New Framework of Convergence Analysis for Solving the General Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation using the Fourier Pseudo-Spectral Method in Two Dimensions

This paper aims to build a new framework of convergence analysis of conservative Fourier pseudo-spectral method for the general nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation in two dimensions,which is not restricted that the nonlinear term is mere cubic.The new framework of convergence analysis consists of two steps.In the first step,by truncating the nonlinear term into a global Lipschitz function,an alternative numerical method is proposed and proved in a rigorous way to be convergent in the discrete L2 norm;followed in the second step,the maximum bound of the numerical solution of the alternative numerical method is obtained by using a lifting technique,as implies that the two numerical methods are the same one.Under our framework of convergence analysis,with neither any restriction on the grid ratio nor any requirement of the small initial value,we establish the error estimate of the proposed conservative Fourier pseudo-spectral method,while previous work requires the certain restriction for the focusing case.The error bound is proved to be of O(h^(r)+t^(2))with grid size h and time step t.In fact,the framework can be used to prove the unconditional convergence of many other Fourier pseudo-spectral methods for solving the nonlinear Schr¨odinger-type equations.Numerical results are conducted to indicate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method,and investigate the effect of the nonlinear term and initial data on the blow-up solution.

Linearized Transformed L1 Galerkin FEMs with Unconditional Convergence for Nonlinear Time Fractional Schr¨odinger Equations

A linearized transformed L1 Galerkin finite element method(FEM)is presented for numerically solving the multi-dimensional time fractional Schr¨odinger equations.Unconditionally optimal error estimates of the fully-discrete scheme are proved.Such error estimates are obtained by combining a new discrete fractional Gr¨onwall inequality,the corresponding Sobolev embedding theorems and some inverse inequalities.While the previous unconditional convergence results are usually obtained by using the temporal-spatial error spitting approaches.Numerical examples are presented to confirm the theoretical results.

Symplectic schemes and symmetric schemes for nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation in the case of dark solitons motion

In this paper,symplectic schemes and symmetric schemes are presented to simulate Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation(NLSE)in case of dark soliton motion.Firstly,by Ablowitz–Ladik model(A–L model),the NLSE is discretized into a non-canonical Hamiltonian system.Then,different kinds of coordinate transformations can be used to standardize the non-canonical Hamiltonian system.Therefore,the symplectic schemes and symmetric schemes can be employed to simulate the solitons motion and test the preservation of the invariants of the A–L model and the conserved quantities approximations of the original NLSE.The numerical experiments show that symplectic schemes and symmetric schemes have similar simulation effect,and own significant superiority over non-symplectic and non-symmetric schemes in long-term tracking the motion of solitons,preserving the invariants and the approximations of conserved quantities.Moreover,it is obvious that coordinate transformations with more symmetry have a better simulation effect.

An Exact Absorbing Boundary Condition for the Schr¨odinger Equation With Sinusoidal Potentials at Infinity

In this paper we study numerical issues related to the Schr ¨odinger equationwith sinusoidal potentials at infinity. An exact absorbing boundary condition in a formof Dirichlet-to-Neumann mapping is derived. This boundary condition is based on ananalytical expression of the logarithmic derivative of the Floquet solution toMathieu’sequation, which is completely new to the author’s knowledge. The implementationof this exact boundary condition is discussed, and a fast evaluation method is used toreduce the computation burden arising from the involved half-order derivative operator.Some numerical tests are given to showthe performance of the proposed absorbingboundary conditions.

Effective regulation of the interaction process among three optical solitons

The interaction between three optical solitons is a complex and valuable research direction,which is of practical application for promoting the development of optical communication and all-optical information processing technology.In this paper,we start from the study of the variable-coefficient coupled higher-order nonlinear Schodinger equation(VCHNLSE),and obtain an analytical three-soliton solution of this equation.Based on the obtained solution,the interaction of the three optical solitons is explored when they are incident from different initial velocities and phases.When the higher-order dispersion and nonlinear functions are sinusoidal,hyperbolic secant,and hyperbolic tangent functions,the transmission properties of three optical solitons before and after interactions are discussed.Besides,this paper achieves effective regulation of amplitude and velocity of optical solitons as well as of the local state of interaction process,and interaction-free transmission of the three optical solitons is obtained with a small spacing.The relevant conclusions of the paper are of great significance in promoting the development of high-speed and large-capacity optical communication,optical signal processing,and optical computing.

Quantum speed limit of a single atom in a squeezed optical cavity mode

We theoretically study the quantum speed limit of a single atom trapped in a Fabry-Perot microresonator.The cavity mode will be squeezed when a driving laser is applied to the second-order nonlinear medium,and the effective Hamiltonian can be obtained under the Bogoliubov squeezing transformation.The analytical expression of the evolved atom state can be obtained by using the non-Hermitian Schr¨odinger equation for the initial excited state,and the quantum speed limit time coincides very well for both the analytical expression and the master equation method.From the perspective of quantum speed limit,it is more conducive to accelerate the evolution of the quantum state for the large detuning,strong driving,and coupling strength.For the case of the initial superposition state,the form of the initial state has more influence on the evolution speed.The quantum speed limit time is not only dependent on the system parameters but also determined by the initial state.

Calibration of quantitative rescattering model for simulating vortex high-order harmonic generation driven by Laguerre–Gaussian beam with nonzero orbital angular momentum

We calibrate the macroscopic vortex high-order harmonic generation(HHG)obtained by the quantitative rescattering(QRS)model to compute single-atom induced dipoles against that by solving the time-dependent Schr?dinger equation(TDSE).We show that the QRS perfectly agrees with the TDSE under the favorable phase-matching condition,and the QRS can accurately predict the main features in the spatial profiles of vortex HHG if the phase-matching condition is not good.We uncover that harmonic emissions from short and long trajectories are adjusted by the phase-matching condition through the time-frequency analysis and the QRS can simulate the vortex HHG accurately only when the interference between two trajectories is absent.This work confirms that it is an efficient way to employ the QRS model in the single-atom response for precisely simulating the macroscopic vortex HHG.

Dissipative Nonlinear Schrdinger Equation with External Forcing in Rotational Stratified Fluids and Its Solution

The dissipative nonlinear Schrdinger equation with a forcing item is derived by using of multiple scales analysis and perturbation method as a mathematical model of describing envelope solitary Rossby waves with dissipation effect and external forcing in rotational stratified fluids. By analyzing the evolution of amplitude of envelope solitary Rossby waves, it is found that the shear of basic flow, Brunt–Vaisala frequency and β effect are important factors in forming the envelope solitary Rossby waves. By employing Jacobi elliptic function expansion method and Hirota's direct method, the analytic solutions of dissipative nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation and forced nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation are derived, respectively. With the help of these solutions, the effects of dissipation and external forcing on the evolution of envelope solitary Rossby wave are also discussed in detail. The results show that dissipation causes slowly decrease of amplitude of envelope solitary Rossby waves and slowly increase of width, while it has no effect on the propagation speed and different types of external forcing can excite the same envelope solitary Rossby waves. It is notable that dissipation and different types of external forcing have certain influence on the carrier frequency of envelope solitary Rossby waves.

A one-dimensional harmonic oscillator with position-dependent effective mass is studied. We quantize the oscillator to obtain a quantum Hamiltonian, which is manifestly Hermitian in configuration space, and the exact solutions to the corresponding Schr¨odinger equation are obtained analytically in terms of modified Hermite polynomials.It is shown that the obtained solutions reduce to those of simple harmonic oscillator as the position dependence of the mass vanishes.

In particular, we present rogue waves from first to third-order through some figures and analyze their dynamics.

Time and Space Fractional Schrdinger Equation with Fractional Factor

In this paper, we introduce a new definition of fractional derivative which contains a fractional factor, and its physical meanings are given. When studying the fractional Schrdinger equation(FSE) with this form of fractional derivative, the result shows that under the description of time FSE with fractional factor, the probability of finding a particle in the whole space is still conserved. By using this new definition to construct space FSE, we achieve a continuous transition from standard Schrdinger equation to the fractional one. When applying this form of Schrdinger equation to a particle in an infinite symmetrical square potential well, we find that the probability density distribution loses spatial symmetry and shows a kind of attenuation property. For the situation of a one-dimensional infinite δ potential well,the first derivative of time-independent wave function Φ to space coordinate x can be continuous everywhere when the particle is at some special discrete energy levels, which is much different from the standard Schrdinger equation.
