Complex Energy Spectrum and Time Evolution of QBIC States in a Two-Channel Quantum wire with an Adatom Impurity

Abstract

We provide detailed analysis of the complex energy eigenvalue spectrum for a two-channel quantum wire with an attached adatom impurity. The study is based on our previous work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 210404 (2007)], in which we presented the quasi-bound states in continuum (or QBIC states). These are resonant states with very long lifetimes that form as a result of two overlapping continuous energy bands one of which, at least, has a divergent van Hove singularity at the band edge. We provide analysis of the full energy spectrum for all solutions, including the QBIC states, and obtain an expansion for the complex eigenvalue of the QBIC state. We show that it has a small decay rate of the order $g^6$, where $g$ is the coupling constant. As a result of this expansion, we find that this state is a non-analytic effect resulting from the van Hove singularity; it cannot be predicted from the ordinary perturbation analysis that relies on Fermi's golden rule. We will also numerically demonstrate the time evolution of the QBIC state using the effective potential method in order to show the stability of the QBIC wave function in comparison with that of the other eigenstates.
