Semiclassical wave packet dynamics for Hartree equations

چکیده
We study the propagation of wave packets for nonlinear nonlocal Schrödinger equations in the semi-classical limit. When the kernel is smooth, we construct approximate solutions for the wave functions in subcritical, critical and supercritical cases (in terms of the size of the initial data). The validity of the approximation is proved up to Ehrenfest time. For homogeneous kernels, we establish similar results in subcritical and critical cases. Nonlinear superposition principle for two nonlinear wave packets is also considered.

Computing Semiclassical Quantum Dynamics with Hagedorn Wavepackets
We consider the approximation of multi-particle quantum dynamics in the semiclassical regime by Hagedorn wavepackets, which are products of complex Gaussians with polynomials that form an orthonormal L basis and preserve their type under propagation in Schrödinger equations with quadratic potentials. We build a fully explicit, time-reversible time-stepping algorithm to approximate the solution ...
متن کاملSemiclassical wave packet dynamics in Schrodinger equations with periodic potentials
We consider semiclassically scaled Schrödinger equations with an external potential and a highly oscillatory periodic potential. We construct asymptotic solutions in the form of semiclassical wave packets. These solutions are concentrated (both, in space and in frequency) around the effective semiclassical phase-space flow obtained by Peierls substitution, and involve a slowly varying envelope ...
متن کاملSymplectic semiclassical wave packet dynamics
The paper gives a symplectic-geometric account of semiclassical Gaussian wave packet dynamics. We employ geometric techniques to “strip away” the symplectic structure behind the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and incorporate it into semiclassical wave packet dynamics. We show that the Gaussian wave packet dynamics of Heller is a Hamiltonian system with respect to the symplectic structure, ...
متن کاملSemiclassical Limit for Schrödinger Equations with Magnetic Field and Hartree-type Nonlinearities
The semi-classical regime of standing wave solutions of a Schrödinger equation in presence of non-constant electric and magnetic potentials is studied in the case of non-local nonlinearities of Hartree type. It is show that there exists a family of solutions having multiple concentration regions which are located around the minimum points of the electric potential.
متن کاملSemiclassical analysis of constrained quantum systems
We study the dynamics of a quantum particle in R n+m constrained by a strong potential force to stay within a distance of order (in suitable units) from a smooth n−dimensional submanifold M. We prove that in the semiclassical limit the evolution of the wave function is approximated in norm, up to terms of order 1/2 , by the evolution of a semiclassical wave packet centred on the trajectory of t...
