Abstract A new approach has been developed in this paper to solve time-independent Schrödinger wave equation for any arbitrary potential and space varying mass as well. The method is based on the state transition matrix used in the analysis of linear time-varying systems, and can determine both bound states and reflection and transmission coefficients associated with scattering problems. Numerical examples for the computation of eigenvalues and eigenmodes associated with bound states are presented for quadratic potential, quartic potential, constant potential well and arbitrary potential well with both constant and space-varying or position-dependent masses. Similarly, transmission coefficients for scattering problems without any infinite potential, and time delays for scattering problems with an infinite potential are computed for arbitrary potential wells.

Abstract Geometrical symmetry plays a significant role in realizing robust, symmetry-protected, bound states in the continuum (BICs). However, this benefit is only theoretical in many cases since the unavoidable imperfections of fabricated samples may easily break the stringent geometrical requirements. Here we propose an essentially new approach by introducing the concept of geometrical-symmetry-free but symmetry-protected BICs, realized using the static-like environment induced by a zero-index metamaterial (ZIM). We find that robust BICs exist and are protected from the disordered distribution of multiple objects inside ZIM host by its physical symmetries rather than geometrical ones. We further show theoretically and numerically that the existence of those higher-order BICs depends only on the number of objects. By practically designing a structural ZIM waveguide, the existence of BICs is numerically confirmed, as well as their independence on the presence of geometrical symmetry. Our findings provide a new way of realizing higher-order BICs and link their properties to disorder of photonic systems.

We present a novel binding mechanism where a neutral Rydberg atom and an atomic ion form a molecular bound state at a large internuclear distance. The binding mechanism is based on Stark shifts and level crossings that are induced in the Rydberg atom due to the electric field of the ion. At particular internuclear distances between the Rydberg atom and the ion, potential wells occur that can hold atom–ion molecular bound states. Apart from the binding mechanism, we describe important properties of the long-range atom–ion Rydberg molecule, such as its lifetime and decay paths, its vibrational and rotational structure, and its large dipole moment. Furthermore, we discuss methods of how to produce and detect it. The unusual properties of the long-range atom–ion Rydberg molecule give rise to interesting prospects for studies of wave packet dynamics in engineered potential energy landscapes.

In present work we study the 3-dimensional non relativistic and noncommutative space-phase Schrödinger equation for modified potential (see formula in paper) depends on energy and quadratic on the relative distance, we have obtained the exact modified bound-states solutions. It has been observed that, the energy spectra in ordinary quantum mechanics was changed, and replaced by degenerate new states, depending on new discreet quantum numbers:n, l, j and s=±1/2 . We show the noncommutative new anisotropic Hamiltonian containing two new important terms, the first new term describe the spin-orbit interaction while the second describes the modified Zeeman effect.
