Absence of Floquet scattering in oscillating non-Hermitian potential
wells
   [PDF]

S. Longhi, G. Della Valle
Scattering of a quantum particle from an oscillating barrier or well does not generally conserve the particle energy owing to energy exchange with the photon field, and an incoming particle-free state is scattered into a set of outgoing (transmitted and reflected) free states according to Floquet scattering theory. Here we introduce two families of oscillating non-Hermitian potential wells in which Floquet scattering is fully suppressed for any energy of the incident particle. The scattering-free oscillating potentials are synthesized by application of the Darboux transformation to the time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation. For one of the two families of scattering-free potentials, the oscillating potential turns out to be fully invisible.
