Transition state theory for wave packet dynamics: I. Thermal decay in metastable Schrödinger systems
We demonstrate the application of transition state theory to wave packet dynamics in metastable Schrödinger systems which are approached by means of a variational ansatz for the wavefunction and whose dynamics is described within the framework of a time-dependent variational principle. The application of classical transition state theory, which requires knowledge of a classical Hamilton functio...
متن کاملTransition state theory for wave packet dynamics: II. Thermal decay of Bose–Einstein condensates with long-range interaction
We apply transition state theory to coupled Gaussian wave packets and calculate thermal decay rates of Bose–Einstein condensates with additional long-range interaction. The ground state of such a condensate is metastable if the contact interaction is attractive and a sufficient thermal excitation may lead to its collapse. The use of transition state theory is made possible by describing the con...
متن کاملWave packet dynamics in Yang-Mills theory.
We discuss the results of numerical simulations of colliding wavepackets in SU(2) Yang–Mills theory. We investigate their behavior as a function of amplitude and momentum distribution. We find regions in our parameter space in which initial wave packets scatter into final configurations with dramatically different momentum distributions. These results constitute new classical trajectories with ...
متن کاملNonadiabatic wave packet dynamics: Experiment and theory in IBr
We present an experimental and a theoretical study of nonadiabatic wave packet dynamics in the intermediate coupling regime as exhibited by the IBr molecule. Using a femtosecond pump–probe molecular beam technique, we generated a wave packet which evolves on the electronically excited B P01 /Y (0 ) coupled states. The wave packet dynamics was detected by a time-delayed probe pulse which induced...
متن کاملProjected Dynamics for Metastable Decay in Ising Models
The magnetization switching dynamics in the kinetic Ising model is projected onto a one-dimensional absorbing Markov chain. The resulting projected dynamics reproduces the direct simulation results with great accuracy. A scheme is proposed to utilize simulation data for small systems to obtain the metastable lifetime for large systems and/or for very weak magnetic elds, for which direct simulat...
