Resummed Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin series: Quantization and physical interpretation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) perturbative series, a widely used technique for solving linear waves, is typically divergent and, at best, asymptotic, thus impeding predictions beyond the first few leading-order effects. Here, we report closed-form formula that exactly resums WKB series to all orders two turning point problems. elegantly interpreted as action evaluated using product of spatially varying wave number and coefficient related transmissivity; unit transmissivity yields Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization.

Application of Coupled-Wave Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin Approximation to Ground Penetrating Radar
This paper deals with bistatic subsurface probing of a horizontally layered dielectric half-space by means of ultra-wideband electromagnetic waves. In particular, the main objective of this work is to present a new method for the solution of the two-dimensional back-scattering problem arising when a pulsed electromagnetic signal impinges on a non-uniform dielectric half-space; this scenario is ...
متن کاملOscillatory Tunnel Splittings in Spin Systems: A Discrete Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin Approach
Certain spin Hamiltonians that give rise to tunnel splittings that are viewed in terms of interfering instanton trajectories, are restudied using a discrete WKB method, that is more elementary, and also yields wavefunctions and preexponential factors for the splittings. A novel turning point inside the classically forbidden region is analysed, and a general formula is obtained for the splitting...
متن کاملSimulation of Nanowire Tunneling Transistors: From the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin Approximation to Full-Band Phonon-Assisted Tunneling
Nanowire band-to-band tunneling field-effect transistors ͑TFETs͒ are simulated using the Wentzel– Kramers–Brillouin ͑WKB͒ approximation and an atomistic, full-band quantum transport solver including direct and phonon-assisted tunneling ͑PAT͒. It is found that the WKB approximation properly works if one single imaginary path connecting the valence band ͑VB͒ and the conduction band ͑CB͒ dominates the tunne...
متن کاملThe Perturbative Resummed Series for Top Production
Our calculation of the total cross section for inclusive production of tt̄ pairs in hadron collisions is summarized. The principal ingredient of this calculation is resummation of the universal leading-logarithm effects of gluon radiation to all orders in the quantum chromodynamics coupling strength, restricted to the region of phase space that is manifestly perturbative. We present predictions ...
