Stationarity principle for quantum-mechanical resonance states

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We show that the quantum-mechanical time-reversal operator provides a satisfying formulation of the generalized dilatation transformation for forming scalar products with partial complex conjugation, and leads to a theoretically justified stationarity principle for finding resonances (i.e., metastable states) in atomic and molecular systems.
