We consider a problem of factoring the scattering matrix for Schrödinger equation on the real axis. We find the elementary factorization blocks in both the finite and infinite cases and establish a relation to the matrix conjugation problem. We indicate a general scheme for constructing a large class of scattering matrices admitting a quasirational factorization.

We solve the problem of integrating operator equations for the dynamics of nonautonomous quantum systems by using time-dependent canonical transformations. The studied operator equations essentially reproduce the classical integrability conditions at the quantum level in the basic cases of one-dimensional nonautonomous dynamical systems. We seek solutions in the form of operator series in the Bender–Dunne basis of pseudodifferential operators. Together with this problem, we consider quantum canonical transformations. The minimal solution of the operator equation in the representation of the basis at a fixed time corresponds to the lowest-order contribution of the solution obtained as a result of applying a canonical linear transformation to the basis elements.

For a class of polynomial quantum Hamiltonians used in models of combination scattering in quantum optics, we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the spectrum for large occupation numbers in the secondary quantization representation. Hamiltonians of this class can be diagonalized using a special system of polynomials determined by recurrence relations with coefficients depending on a parameter (occupation number). For this system of polynomials, we determine the asymptotic behavior a discrete measure with respect to which they are orthogonal. The obtained limit measures are interpreted as equilibrium measures in extremum problems for a logarithmic potential in an external field and with constraints on the measure. We illustrate the general case with an exactly solvable example where the Hamiltonian can be diagonalized by the canonical Bogoliubov transformation and the special orthogonal polynomials degenerate into the Krawtchouk classical discrete polynomials.

We construct a model of a random walk in which the relation of space–time nonlocalities is defined by the structure of memory flow and a stochastic force model. The proposed model allows computing the parameters that characterize the nonlocality of the medium exposure and the particle memory.

Using holographic methods, we study the heating up process in quantum field theory. As a holographic dual of this process, we use absorption of a thin shell on a black brane. We find the explicit form of the time evolution of the quantum mutual information during heating up from the temperature Ti to the temperature T_f in a system of two intervals in two-dimensional space–time. We determine the geometric characteristics of the system under which the time dependence of the mutual information has a bell shape: it is equal to zero at the initial instant, becomes positive at some subsequent instant, further attains its maximum, and again decreases to zero. Such a behavior of the mutual information occurs in the process of photosynthesis. We show that if the distance x between the intervals is less than log 2/2πT_i, then the evolution of the holographic mutual information has a bell shape only for intervals whose lengths are bounded from above and below. For sufficiently large x, i.e., for x < log 2/2πT_i, the bell-like shape of the time dependence of the quantum mutual information is present only for sufficiently large intervals. Moreover, the zone narrows as T_i increases and widens as T_f increases.
