Published: March 2018

The self-accelerating Airy Ince-Gaussian (AiIG) and Airy helical Ince-Gaussian (AihIG) wave packets in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media (SNNM) are obtained by solving the strongly nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation. For the first time, the propagation properties of three dimensional localized AiIG and AihIG breathers and solitons in the SNNM are demonstrated, these spatiotemporal wave packets maintain the self-accelerating and approximately non-dispersion properties in temporal dimension, periodically oscillating (breather state) or steady (soliton state) in spatial dimension. In particular, their numerical experiments of spatial intensity distribution, numerical simulations of spatiotemporal distribution, as well as the transverse energy flow and the angular momentum in SNNM are presented. Typical examples of the obtained solutions are based on the ratio between the input power and the critical power, the ellipticity and the strong nonlocality parameter. The comparisons of analytical solutions with numerical simulations and numerical experiments of the AiIG and AihIG optical solitons show that the numerical results agree well with the analytical solutions in the case of strong nonlocality.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reveals that laser-assisted dynamic interference in electron spectra can be experimentally observed using attosecond pulse trains, demonstrating fine interference patterns smaller than the energy of individual laser photons.
  • Theoretical simulations align with experimental findings, utilizing methods like the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and strong-field approximation to support the results.
  • Further analysis emphasizes the significance of phase variations in electron wave packets, showing that the manipulation of electron behavior in the continuum is achievable through advanced multicolor laser techniques controlled at attosecond timescales.

A (target) quantum system is often measured through observations performed on a second (meter) system to which the target is coupled. In the presence of global conservation laws holding on the joint meter-target system, the Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem and its generalizations predict a lower bound on the measurement's error (Ozawa's bound). While practically negligible for macroscopic meters, it becomes relevant for microscopic ones.

Highly enhanced reactivity of HCl on the Ag/Au(111) alloy surface via rotational quantum state excitation.

Rotational excitations of reactants are often considered to have little impact on chemical reactivity compared to the excitations of vibrational modes and translational motion. Here, we reveal a significant influence of the rotational excitation of HCl on its dissociation on an Ag/Au(111) alloy surface. This finding is based on six-dimensional time-dependent wave packet calculations performed on an accurately fitted machine learning potential energy surface.

We present two methods for computing the dynamic structure factor for warm dense hydrogen without invoking either the Born-Oppenheimer approximation or the Chihara decomposition, by employing a wave-packet description that resolves the electron dynamics during ion evolution. First, a semiclassical method is discussed, which is corrected based on known quantum constraints, and second, a direct computation of the density response function within the molecular dynamics. The wave-packet models are compared to PIMC and DFT-MD for the static and low-frequency behavior.

Coherent transient exciton transport in disordered polaritonic wires.

Department of Chemistry and Cherry Emerson Center for Scientific Computation, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.

Excitation energy transport can be significantly enhanced by strong light-matter interactions. In the present work, we explore intriguing features of coherent transient exciton wave packet dynamics on a lossless disordered polaritonic wire. Our main results can be understood in terms of the effective exciton group velocity, a new quantity we obtain from the polariton dispersion.
