Non-Hermitian and Open Systems: Form Fundamentals to Applications
Abstract
This project will generalize the recently tested metastable electronic state approach (MESA),and introduce its applications in new areas. Ubiquitous in nature, metastable states often occurin quantum and classical systems exposed to external forces; they show up in atoms irradiatedby strong electromagnetic fields, control the rate of radiation leakage from unstable resonators, ordetermine the properties of electron bursts from nano-scale structures exposed to high-intensityfemtosecond optical pulses. The research is motivated by the realization that long-lived unstablestates are most natural for evaluation of the reaction to an excitation.
