We draw attention on the fact that the Riccati-Padé method developed some time ago enables the accurate calculation of bound-state eigenvalues as well as of resonances embedded either in the continuum or in the discrete spectrum. We apply the approach to several one-dimensional models that exhibit different kind of spectra. In particular we test a WKB formula for the imaginary part of the resonance in the discrete spectrum of a three-well potential.

<p>We propose a new approach to the problem of finding the eigenvalues (energy levels) in the discrete spectrum of the one-dimensional Hamiltonian with an attractive Gaussian potential by using the well-known Birman-Schwinger technique. However, in place of the Birman-Schwinger integral operator we consider an isospectral operator in momentum space, taking advantage of the unique feature of this potential, that is to say its invariance under Fourier transform. <br />Given that such integral operators are trace class, it is possible to determine the energy levels in the discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian as functions of <span>the coupling constant with great accuracy by solving a finite number of transcendental equations. We also address the important issue of the coupling constant thresholds of the Hamiltonian, that is to say the critical values of λ for which we have the emergence of an additional bound state out of the absolutely continuous spectrum. </span></p>

We propose a simple theoretical model based on the coupled-mode theory which allows to calculate the spectral properties and transmittance of the one-dimensional waveguide structures. The model was verified on the common coupled-waveguide array in which the existence of the symmetry-protected bound state in the continuum (BIC) was confirmed experimentally by Plotnik et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 28-31 (2011)]. The method can be extended to topologically nontrivial lattices to explore the properties of the BICs protected by time-reversal symmetry.

The interaction of a discrete state coupled to a continuum is a longstanding problem of major interest in different areas of quantum and classical physics. In Hermitian models, several dynamical decoupling schemes have been suggested, in which the discrete-continuum interaction can be substantially reduced and even suppressed. In this work, we consider a discrete state interacting with a continuum via a time-dependent non-Hermitian coupling with finite (albeit arbitrarily long) duration, and show rather generally that for a wide class of coupling temporal shapes, in which the real and imaginary parts of the coupling are related each other by a Hilbert transform, the discrete state returns to its initial condition after the interaction with the continuum, while the continuum keeps trace of the interaction. Such a behavior, which does not have any counterpart in Hermitian dynamics, can be referred to as non-Hermitian pseudo decoupling. Non-Hermitian pseudo decoupling is illustrated by considering a non-Hermitian extension of the Fano–Anderson model in a one-dimensional tight-binding lattice. Such a non-Hermitian model can describe, for example, photonic hopping dynamics in a tight-binding chain of optical microrings or resonators, in which non-Hermitian coupling can be realized by fast modulation of the real and imaginary (gain/loss) parts of the refractive index of the edge microring.

We solve the one-dimensional time-independent Klein–Gordon equation in the presence of a smooth potential well. The bound state solutions are given in terms of the Whittaker [Formula: see text] function, and the antiparticle bound state is discussed in terms of potential parameters.

In the present analytical study, we consider the problem of a nanocrack with surface elasticity interacting with a screw dislocation. The surface elasticity is incorporated by using the continuum-based surface/interface model of Gurtin and Murdoch. By considering both distributed screw dislocations and line forces on the crack, we reduce the interaction problem to two decoupled first-order Cauchy singular integro-differential equations which can be numerically solved by the collocation method. The analysis indicates that if the dislocation is on the real axis where the crack is located, the stresses at the crack tips only exhibit the weak logarithmic singularity; if the dislocation is not on the real axis, however, the stresses exhibit both the weak logarithmic and the strong square-root singularities. Our result suggests that the surface effects of the crack will make the fracture more ductile. The criterion for the spontaneous generation of dislocations at the crack tip is proposed.

A detailed description of the statistical properties of a system of bosons in a harmonic trap at low temperature, which is expected to bear on the process of BE condensation, is given resorting only to the basic postulates of Gibbs and Bose, without assuming equipartition nor continuum statistics. Below Tc such discrete spectrum theory predicts for the thermo-dynamical variables a behavior different from the continuum case. In particular a new critical temperature Td emerges where the specific heat exhibits a λ-like spike.
