  2. S-matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-matrix

    In scattering theory, the S-matrix is an operator mapping free particle in-states to free particle out-states (scattering channels) in the Heisenberg picture. This is very useful because often we cannot describe the interaction (at least, not the most interesting ones) exactly.

  3. Scattering parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters

    The Scattering transfer parameters or T-parameters of a 2-port network are expressed by the T-parameter matrix and are closely related to the corresponding S-parameter matrix. However, unlike S parameters, there is no simple physical means to measure the T parameters in a system, sometimes referred to as Youla waves.

  4. Lippmann–Schwinger equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lippmann–Schwinger_equation

    It relates the scattered wave function with the interaction that produces the scattering (the scattering potential) and therefore allows calculation of the relevant experimental parameters (scattering amplitude and cross sections). The most fundamental equation to describe any quantum phenomenon, including scattering, is the Schrödinger equation.

  5. Crossing (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_(physics)

    Crossing states that the same formula that determines the S-matrix elements and scattering amplitudes for particle to scatter with and produce particle and will also give the scattering amplitude for + ¯ + to go into , or for ¯ to scatter with to produce + ¯. The only difference is that the value of the energy is negative for the antiparticle.

  6. Interaction picture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interaction_picture

    By utilizing the interaction picture, one can use time-dependent perturbation theory to find the effect of H 1,I, [15]: 355ff e.g., in the derivation of Fermi's golden rule, [15]: 359–363 or the Dyson series [15]: 355–357 in quantum field theory: in 1947, Shin'ichirō Tomonaga and Julian Schwinger appreciated that covariant perturbation ...

  7. Step potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_potential

    In quantum mechanics and scattering theory, the one-dimensional step potential is an idealized system used to model incident, reflected and transmitted matter waves.The problem consists of solving the time-independent Schrödinger equation for a particle with a step-like potential in one dimension.

  8. Feynman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram

    The relation between scattering and correlation functions is the LSZ-theorem: The scattering amplitude for n particles to go to m particles in a scattering event is the given by the sum of the Feynman diagrams that go into the correlation function for n + m field insertions, leaving out the propagators for the external legs.

  9. Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker...

    The Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker (KKR) method is used to calculate the electronic band structure of periodic solids.In the derivation of the method using multiple scattering theory by Jan Korringa [1] and the derivation based on the Kohn and Rostoker variational method, [2] the muffin-tin approximation was used.
