Abstract

We solve the space-fractional Schrödinger equation for a quadrupolar triple Dirac-δ (QTD-δ) potential for all energies using the momentum-space approach. For the E < 0 solution, we consider two cases, i.e., when the strengths of the potential are V0 > 0 (QTD-δ potential with central Dirac-δ well) and V0 < 0 (QTD-δ potential with central Dirac-δ barrier) and derive expressions satisfied by the bound-state energy. For all fractional orders α considered, we find that there is one eigenenergy when V0 > 0, and there are two eigenenergies when V0 < 0. We also obtain both bound- and scattering-state (E > 0) wave functions and express them in terms of Fox's H-function.

Highlights

  • Applications of fractional quantum mechanics (FQM) developed by Laskin[1, 2] via constructing fractional path integral over paths of Levy flights have gained interest over the past 13 years

  • The formulation offers generalization of some results obtained in the standard quantum mechanics (SQM)

  • One of its interesting applications is to delta potentials.[3]. We present another application of FQM by considering a quadrupolar triple Dirac-δ (QTD-δ) potential in one dimension, which was first analyzed by Patil[4] in the framework of SQM

Summary

Introduction

Applications of fractional quantum mechanics (FQM) developed by Laskin[1, 2] via constructing fractional path integral over paths of Levy flights have gained interest over the past 13 years. Where Dα is the generalized quantum diffusion coefficient [D2 = 1/(2m) with m being the mass of the particle], ψ(x) is the wave function, V (x) is the potential, E Its Fourier transform and convolution with ψ(p) are given, respectively, by V (p) = V0(eiap/ − 2 + e−iap/ )
