Bounds on Scattering Phase Shifts offers a practical, rigorous look at how to bound phase shifts in quantum scattering.
This book explains how variational techniques apply to scattering theory and how Kato’s method can provide upper and lower bounds on cotangent phase terms. It also discusses when and how to simplify calculations, including strategies that avoid heavy integrations.
- Learn how to frame scattering problems with central and compound potentials.
- Discover constraints and bootstrapping ideas that improve bounds when prior information is limited.
- See how cut-off potentials and strategic normalizations can simplify the analysis without sacrificing accuracy.
- Explore concrete examples and practical considerations for applying the method to real problems.
Ideal for readers who want a solid, application-focused treatment of bounds on phase shifts in quantum scattering.
