On two different kinds of resonances in one-dimensional quantum-mechanical models (Q1704730)

The authors study the spectrum of the dimensionless Hamiltonian operator \(H = p^{2} +V(x)\), where \(p =-id/dx\) and \(V(x) = \left(x^{2}-2J\right) e^{-\lambda x^{2}} + 2J\), with \(J, \lambda > 0\). The authors carry out a Rayleigh-Ritz calculation with complex-rotation and the basis set of the harmonic oscillator \(H_{\mathrm{HO}} = p^{2} + x^{2}\). The authors apply the Riccati-Padé method (RPM) and the Rayleigh-Ritz method (RRM) with complex rotation to the study of the resonances of a one-dimensional well with two barriers. They show that the model associated with the Hamiltonian exhibits two different kinds of resonances. Also, they show that while the RRM reveals each set at a particular interval of rotation angles the RPM yields both of them as roots of the same Hankel determinants. They investigate if the RPM yields both sets of poles REB and KLM or just one kind. The authors carry out extremely accurate RPM calculations and compare them with the results provided by the RRM with complex rotation.
