In this article we discuss which controllability properties of classical Hamiltonian systems are preserved after quantization. We discuss some necessary and some sufficient conditions for small-time controllability of classical systems and quantum systems using the WKB method. In particular, we investigate the conjecture that if the classical system is not small-time controllable, then the corresponding quantum system is not small-time controllable either.
We consider the large time behavior in two types of equations, posed on the whole space R^d: the Schr{o}dinger equation with a logarithmic nonlinearity on the one hand; compressible, isothermal, Euler, Korteweg and quantum Navier-Stokes equations on the other hand. We explain some connections between the two families of equations, and show how these connections may help having an insight in all cases. We insist on some specific aspects only, and refer to the cited articles for more details, and more complete statements. We try to give a general picture of the results, and present some heuristical arguments that can help the intuition, which are not necessarily found in the mentioned articles.
We analyze dynamical properties of the logarithmic Schr{o}dinger equation under a quadratic potential. The sign of the nonlinearity is such that it is known that in the absence of external potential, every solution is dispersive, with a universal asymptotic profile. The introduction of a harmonic potential generates solitary waves, corresponding to generalized Gaussons. We prove that they are orbitally stable, using an inequality related to relative entropy, which may be thought of as dual to the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality. In the case of a partial confinement, we show a universal dispersive behavior for suitable marginals. For repulsive harmonic potentials, the dispersive rate is dictated by the potential, and no universal behavior must be expected.
An effective equation describes a weakly nonlinear wave field evolution governed by nonlinear dispersive PDEs emph{via} the set of its resonances in an arbitrary big but finite domain in the Fourier space. We consider the Schr{o}dinger equation with quadratic nonlinearity including small external random forcing/dissipation. An effective equation is deduced explicitly for each case of monomial quadratic nonlinearities $ u^2, , bar{u}u, , bar{u}^2$ and the sets of resonance clusters are studied. In particular, we demonstrate that the nonlinearity $bar{u}^2$ generates no 3-wave resonances and its effective equation is degenerate while in two other cases the sets of resonances are not empty. Possible implications for wave turbulence theory are briefly discussed.
The Cauchy problem of the modified nonlinear Schr{o}dinger (mNLS) equation with the finite density type initial data is investigated via $overline{partial}$ steepest descent method. In the soliton region of space-time $x/tin(5,7)$, the long-time asymptotic behavior of the mNLS equation is derived for large times. Furthermore, for general initial data in a non-vanishing background, the soliton resolution conjecture for the mNLS equation is verified, which means that the asymptotic expansion of the solution can be characterized by finite number of soliton solutions as the time $t$ tends to infinity, and a residual error $mathcal {O}(t^{-3/4})$ is provided.
We consider a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem for the sextic nonlinear Schr{o}dinger equation with a non-zero boundary conditions at infinity. Before analyzing the spectrum problem, we introduce a Riemann surface and uniformization coordinate variable in order to avoid multi-value problems. Based on a new complex plane, the direct scattering problem perform a detailed analysis of the analytical, asymptotic and symmetry properties of the Jost functions and the scattering matrix. Then, a generalized Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) is successfully established from the results of the direct scattering transform. In the inverse scattering problem, we discuss the discrete spectrum, residue condition, trace formula and theta condition under simple poles and double poles respectively, and further solve the solution of a generalized RHP. Finally, we derive the solution of the equation for the cases of different poles without reflection potential. In addition, we analyze the localized structures and dynamic behaviors of the resulting soliton solutions by taking some appropriate values of the parameters appeared in the solutions.
