Lévy Transport in Slab Geometry of Inhomogeneous Media
arXiv:1607.01604 · doi:10.1051/mmnp/201611304
Abstract
We present a physical example, where a fractional (both in space and time) Schrödinger equation appears only as a formal effective description of diffusive wave transport in complex inhomogeneous media. This description is a result of the parabolic equation approximation that corresponds to the paraxial small angle approximation of the fractional Helmholtz equation. The obtained effective quantum dynamics is fractional in both space and time. As an example, Lévy flights in an infinite potential well are considered numerically. An analytical expression for the effective wave function of the quantum dynamics is obtained as well.
