Nonlinear Schroedinger Dynamics and Nonlinear Observables
It is is explained why physical consistency requires substituting linear observables by nonlinear ones for quantum systems with nonlinear time evolution of pure states. The exact meaning and the concrete physical interpretation are described in full detail for a special case of the nonlinear Doebner-Goldin equation.

Any-order propagation of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation
We derive an exact propagation scheme for nonlinear Schroedinger equations. This scheme is entirely analogous to the propagation of linear Schroedinger equations. We accomplish this by defining a special operator whose algebraic properties ensure the correct propagation. As applications, we provide a simple proof of a recent conjecture regarding higher-order integrators for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, extend it to multi-component equations, and to a new class of integrators.

Bound and resonance states of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation in simple model systems
The stationary nonlinear Schroedinger equation, or Gross-Pitaevskii equation, is studied for the cases of a single delta potential and a delta-shell potential. These model systems allow analytical solutions, and thus provide useful insight into the features of stationary bound, scattering and resonance states of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. For the single delta potential, the influence of the potential strength and the nonlinearity is studied as well as the transition from bound to scattering states. Furthermore, the properties of resonance states for a repulsive delta-shell potential …

Double humped states in the nonlinear Schroedinger equation with a random potential
The role of double humped states in spreading of wave packets for the nonlinear Schroedinger equation (NLSE) with a random potential is explored and the spreading mechanism is unraveled. Comparison with an NLSE with a double-well potential is made. There are two independent affects of the nonlinearity on the double humped states for the NLSE: coupling to other states and destruction. The interplay between these effects is discussed.

Cole-Hopf Like Transformation for a Class of Coupled Nonlinear Schroedinger Equations
In this paper we consider a class of coupled nonlinear Schroedinger equations for the fields $ψ_i$ containing complex nonlinearities, that has been obtained by requiring that the norms $|ψ_i|^2$ are conserved densities. For this class of equations we introduce a Cole-Hopf like transformation, whose effect is to reduce the complex nonlinearities into real ones, this way reducing the continuity equations of the system to the standard bilinear form. Some examples are presented to illustrate the applicability of the method. Pacs numbers: 03.50.-z, 03.65.-w, 11.30.Na, 11.40.Dw Keywords: Coupled non…

Uniform semiclassical approximations of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation by a Painleve mapping
A useful semiclassical method to calculate eigenfunctions of the Schroedinger equation is the mapping to a well-known ordinary differential equation, as for example Airy's equation. In this paper we generalize the mapping procedure to the nonlinear Schroedinger equation or Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing the macroscopic wave function of a Bose-Einstein condensate. The nonlinear Schroedinger equation is mapped to the second Painleve equation, which is one of the best-known differential equations with a cubic nonlinearity. A quantization condition is derived from the connection formulae of …

Spreading for the generalized nonlinear Schroedinger equation with disorder
The dynamics of an initially localized wavepacket is studied for the generalized nonlinear Schroedinger Equation with a random potential, where the nonlinearity term is |ψ|^p*ψand "p" is arbitrary. Mainly short times for which the numerical calculations can be performed accurately are considered. Long time calculations are presented as well. In particular the subdiffusive behavior where the average second moment of the wavepacket is of the form <m_{2}>~t^a is computed. Contrary to former heuristic arguments, no evidence for any critical behavior as function of "p" is found. The properties of α…

A simple method to construct eigenset of single-active-electron atom in momentum space with applications to solve time-dependent Schroedinger equation
We present a highly accurate method for solving single-active-electron (SAE) atomic eigenset in momentum space. The trouble of Coulomb kernel singularity is bypassed with numerical quadrature, which is simple but effective. The complicated Lande regularization method is no longer necessary. The data of accuracy for some low-lying states of the hydrogen and SAE helium atom were tabulated. Two examples of using the generated eigenset to solve the hydrogen atom under strong-field laser pulses were shown. The momentum and the coordinate representation are complementary to each other in quantum mec…

Liouville Integrability of the Schroedinger Equation
Canonical coordinates for both the Schroedinger and the nonlinear Schroedinger equations are introduced, making more transparent their Hamiltonian structures. It is shown that the Schroedinger equation, considered as a classical field theory, shares with the nonlinear Schroedinger, and more generally with Liouville completely integrable field theories, the existence of a "recursion operator" which allows for the construction of infinitely many conserved functionals pairwise commuting with respect to the corresponding Poisson bracket. The approach may provide a good starting point to get a clea…

On the representation of contextual probabilistic dynamics in the complex Hilbert space: linear and nonlinear evolutions, Schroedinger dynamics
We constructed the representation of contextual probabilistic dynamics in the complex Hilbert space. Thus dynamics of the wave function can be considered as Hilbert space projections of realistic dynamics in a ``prespace''. The basic condition for representing of the prespace-dynamics is the law of statistical conservation of energy -- conservation of probabilities. Construction of the dynamical representation is an important step in the development of contextual statistical viewpoint to quantum processes. But the contextual statistical model is essentially more general than the quantum one. T…

Schroedinger-picture correlation functions for nonlinear evolutions
The well known interpretational difficulties with nonlinear Schrödinger and von Neumann equations can be reduced to the problem of computing multiple-time correlation functions in the absence of Heisenberg picture. Having no Heisenberg picture one often resorts to Zeno-type reasoning which explicitly involves the projection postulate as a means of computing conditional and joint probabilities. Although the method works well in linear quantum mechanics, it completely fails for nonlinear evolutions. We propose an alternative way of performing the same task in linear quantum mechanics and show th…

Quantum Feedback for Protection of Schroedinger-cat states
We review the use of quantum feedback for combatting the decoherence of Schroedinger-cat-like states in electromagnetic cavities, with special emphasys on our recent proposal of an automatic mechanism based on the injection of appropriately prepared ``probe'' and ``feedback'' Rydberg atoms. In the latter scheme, the information transmission from the probe to the feedback atom is directly mediated by a second auxiliary cavity. The detection efficiency for the probe atom is no longer a critical parameter, and the decoherence time of the linear superposition state can be significantly increased u…

To the nonlinear quantum mechanics
The Schroedinger equation with the nonlinear term is derived by the natural generalization of the hydrodynamical model of quantum mechanics. The nonlinear term appears to be logically necessary because it enables explanation of the classical limit of the wave function, the collaps of the wave function and solves the Schroedinger cat paradox.

Nonlinear gauge transformation for a class of Schroedinger equations containing complex nonlinearities
We consider a wide class of nonlinear canonical quantum systems described by a one-particle Schroedinger equation containing a complex nonlinearity. We introduce a nonlinear unitary transformation which permits us to linearize the continuity equation. In this way we are able to obtain a new quantum system obeying to a nonlinear Schroedinger equation with a real nonlinearity. As an application of this theory we consider a few already studied Schroedinger equations as that containing the nonlinearity introduced by the exclusion-inclusion principle, the Doebner-Goldin equation and others.

Wave Packets and Coherent Structures for Nonlinear Schroedinger equations in Variable Nonuniform Media
We determine conditions under which a generic gauge invariant nonautonomous and inhomogeneous nonlinear partial differential equation in the two-dimensional space-time continuum can be transform into standard autonomous forms. In addition to the nonlinear Schroedinger equation, important examples include the derivative nonlinear Schroedinger equation, the quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, and the Gerdjikov-Ivanov equation. This approach provides a mathematical description of nonstationary media supporting unidimensional signal propagation and/or total field trapping. In particular, we …

Nonlinear Schroedinger Equations within the Nelson Quantization Picture
We present a class of nonlinear Schroedinger equations (NLSEs) describing, in the mean field approximation, systems of interacting particles. This class of NLSEs is obtained generalizing expediently the approach proposed in Ref. [G.K. Phys. Rev. A 55, 941 (1997)], where a classical system obeying to an exclusion-inclusion principle is quantized using the Nelson stochastic quantization. The new class of NLSEs is obtained starting from the most general nonlinear classical kinetics compatible with a constant diffusion coefficient D=\hbar/2m. Finally, in the case of s-stationary states, we propose…

Nonlinear Transformation for a Class of Gauged Schroedinger Equations with Complex Nonlinearities
In the present contribution we consider a class of Schroedinger equations containing complex nonlinearities, describing systems with conserved norm $|ψ|^2$ and minimally coupled to an abelian gauge field. We introduce a nonlinear transformation which permits the linearization of the source term in the evolution equations for the gauge field, and transforms the nonlinear Schroedinger equations in another one with real nonlinearities. We show that this transformation can be performed either on the gauge field $A_μ$ or, equivalently, on the matter field $ψ$. Since the transformation does not chan…

A lattice model related to the nonlinear Schroedinger equation
This is a historical note. In 1981 we constructed a discrete version of quantum nonlinear Schroedinger equation. This led to our discovery of quantum determinant: it appeared in construction of anti-pod (11). Later these became important in quantum groups: it describes the center of Yang-Baxter algebra. Our paper was published in Doklady Akademii Nauk vol 259, page 76 (July l981) in Russian language.

Solitons and their stability in the nonlocal nonlinear Schroedinger equation with PT-symmetric potentials
We report localized nonlinear modes of the self-focusing and defocusing nonlocal nonlinear Schroedinger equation with the generalized PT-symmetric Scarf-II, Rosen-Morse, and periodic potentials. Parameter regions are presented for broken and unbroken PT-symmetric phases of linear bounded states and the linear stability of the obtained solitons. Moreover, we numerically explore the dynamical behaviors of solitons and find stable solitons for some given parameters.

On Schroedinger Equations with Concentrated Nonlinearities
Schrödinger equations with nonlinearities concentrated in some regions of space are good models of various physical situations and have interesting mathematical properties. We show that in the semiclassical limit it is possible to separate the relevant degrees of freedom by noticing that in the regions where the nonlinearities are effective all states are suppressed but the metastable ones (resonances). In this way the description of the nonlinear regions is reduced to ordinary differential equations weakly coupled to standard Schrödinger equations valid in the linear regions. The idea is illu…

Soliton-like Solutions for Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation with Variable Quadratic Hamiltonians
We construct one soliton solutions for the nonlinear Schroedinger equation with variable quadratic Hamiltonians in a unified form by taking advantage of a complete (super) integrability of generalized harmonic oscillators. The soliton wave evolution in external fields with variable quadratic potentials is totally determined by the linear problem, like motion of a classical particle with acceleration, and the (self-similar) soliton shape is due to a subtle balance between the linear Hamiltonian (dispersion and potential) and nonlinearity in the Schroedinger equation by the standards of soliton …

Optical control and entanglement of atomic Schroedinger fields
We develop a fully quantized model of a Bose-Einstein condensate driven by a far off-resonant pump laser which interacts with a single mode of an optical ring cavity. In the linear regime, the cavity mode exhibits spontaneous exponential gain correlated with the appearance of two atomic field side-modes. These side-modes and the cavity field are generated in a highly entangled state, characterized by thermal intensity fluctuations in the individual modes, but with two-mode correlation functions which violate certain classical inequalities. By injecting an initial coherent field into the optica…

Phonon Scattering by Breathers in the Discrete Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation
Linear theory for phonon scattering by discrete breathers in the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation using the transfer matrix approach is presented. Transmission and reflection coefficients are obtained as a function of the wave vector of the input phonon. The occurrence of a nonzero transmission, which in fact becomes perfect for a symmetric breather, is shown to be connected with localized eigenmodes thresholds. In the weak-coupling limit, perfect reflection are shown to exist, which requires two scattering channels. A necessary condition for a system to have a perfect reflection is al…

Finite-Length Soliton Solutions of the Local Homogeneous Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation
We found a new kind of soliton solutions for the 5-parameter family of the potential-free Stenflo-Sabatier-Doebner-Goldin nonlinear modifications of the Schrödinger equation. In contradistinction to the "usual'' solitons like {\cosh[b(x-kt)]}^{-a}\exp[i(kx-ft)], the new {\em Finite-Length Solitons} (FLS) are nonanalytical functions with continuous first derivatives, which are different from zero only inside some finite regions of space. The simplest one-dimensional example is the function which is equal to {\cos[g(x-kt)]}^{1+d}\exp[i(kx-ft)] (with d>0) for |x-kt|<π/(2g), being identically equa…

In addition, the complete group classification of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is presented.

Localized States and Dynamics in the Nonlinear Schroedinger / Gross-Pitaevskii Equation
This article is a review of results on the nonlinear Schroedinger / Gross-Pitaevskii equation (NLS / GP). Nonlinear bound states and aspects of their stability theory are discussed from variational and bifurcation perspectives. Nonlinear bound states, in the particular cases where the potential is a single-well, double-well potential and periodic potential, are discussed in detail. We then discuss particle-like dynamics of solitary wave solutions interacting with a potential over a large, but finite, time interval. Finally we turn to the very long time behavior of solutions. We focus on the im…
