The Effect of the Pauli Spin Matrices on the Quantum Lattice Algorithm for Maxwell Equations in Inhomogeneous Media
George Vahala, Linda Vahala, Min Soe +1
A quantum lattice algorithm (QLA) is developed for the solution of Maxwell equations in scalar dielectric media using the Riemann-Silberstein representation. For x-dependent and y-…
Unitary Quantum Lattice Simulations for Maxwell Equations in Vacuum and in Dielectric Media
George Vahala, Linda Vahala, Min Soe +1
Utilizing the similarity between the spinor representation of the Dirac equation and the Maxwell equations that has been recognized since the early days of relativistic quantum mec…
Scattering of radio frequency waves by cylindrical blobs in the plasma edge in tokamaks
S. I. Valvis, K. Hizanidis, P. Papagiannis +5
Radio frequency waves are routinely used in tokamak fusion plasmas for plasma heating, current control, and as well as in diagnostics. These waves are excited by antenna structures…
Coherent Acceleration of Magnetized Ions by Electrostatic Waves with Arbitrary Wavenumbers
D. J. Strozzi, A. K. Ram, A. Bers
This paper studies the coherent acceleration of ions interacting with two electrostatic waves in a uniform magnetic field B0. This is a generalization of an earlier analysis of wav…
