Complex translation methods and its application to resonances for quantum walks

Kenta Higuchi, Hisashi Morioka

Abstract

In this paper, some properties of resonances for multi-dimensional quantum walks are studied. Resonances for quantum walks are defined as eigenvalues of complex translated time evolution operators in the pseudo momentum space. For some typical cases, we show some results of existence or nonexistence of resonances. One is a perturbation of an elastic scattering of a quantum walk which is an analogue of classical mechanics. Another one is a shape resonance model which is a perturbation of a quantum walk with a non-penetrable barrier.

Key Result

Lemma 2.1

We have $\sigma (U_0)= \sigma_{ac} (U_0)= \{ e^{-i\lambda} \ ; \ \lambda \in [0,2\pi )\} =S^1$.

Figures (3)

  • Figure 1: The potential $V\in C^{\infty} ({\bf R}^d )$ for the shape resonance model $H(h)= -(h^2 /2)\Delta +V$ on ${\bf R}^d$ with small parameter $h>0$. If $V(x)\to 0$ rapidly as $|x| \to \infty$, $H(h)$ has no positive eigenvalue. However, there exist some resonances of $H(h)$ near the positive semi-axis.
  • Figure 2: The situation of $\Omega^i$, $\Omega^e$, and $K$ for $M_0 = 1$.
  • Figure 3: The situation of $U_{el}$ for the case $m_0 =n_0 =2$.
