We present a very efficient scheme to calculate the eigenvalue problem of the time-independent Schrödinger equation. The eigenvalue problem can be solved via an initial-value procedure of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. First, the time evolution of the wave function is calculated by the finite-difference time-domain method. Then the eigenenergies of the electron system can be obtained through a fast Fourier transformation along the time axis of the wave function after some point. The computing effort for this scheme is roughly proportional to the total grid points involved in the structure and it is suitable for large scale quantum systems. We have applied this approach to the three-dimensional GaN quantum dot system involving one million grid points. It takes only 7 h to calculate the confined energies and the wave functions on a standard 2-GHz Pentium 4 computer. The proposed approach can be implemented in a parallel computer system to study more complex systems.

The dispersion of circumferential waves propagating around cylindrical and spherical underwater targets with an arbitrary number of elastic and fluid layers is modeled using the spectral collocation method. The underlying differential equations are discretized by Chebyshev interpolation and the corresponding differentiation matrices, and the calculation of the dispersion curves is transformed into a generalized eigenvalue problem. Furthermore, for targets in infinite fluid, the perfect matched layer is used to emulate the Sommerfeld radiation condition.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown remarkable achievements and have been extensively applied in various downstream tasks, such as node classification and community detection. However, recent studies have demonstrated that GNNs are vulnerable to subtle adversarial perturbations on graphs, including node injection attacks, which negatively affect downstream tasks. Existing node injection attacks have mainly focused on the limited local nodes, neglecting the analysis of the whole graph which restricts the attack's ability.

We analyze gravitaxis of a Brownian circle swimmer by deriving and analytically characterizing the experimentally measurable intermediate scattering function (ISF). To solve the associated Fokker-Planck equation, we use a spectral-theory approach, finding formal expressions in terms of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the overdamped-noisy-driven pendulum problem. We further perform a Taylor series of the ISF in the wavevector to extract the cumulants up to the fourth order.
