Scattering in the case of the discrete Schrödinger operator for intersected quantum wires

The paper considers the discrete Schrödinger operator on a graph with vertices on two intersecting lines, which is perturbed by a decreasing potential. This operator is the Hamiltonian of an electron near a structure formed by a quantum dot and four outgoing quantum wires in the tight-binding approximation widely used in the physics literature for studying such nanostructures. We have proved the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the corresponding Lippmann–Schwinger equation and obtained the asymptotic formula for it. The non-stationary scattering picture has been studied. The scattering problem for the above operator in the case of a small potential, and also in the case of both a small potential and small velocity of a quantum particle, is investigated. Asymptotic formulas for the probabilities of the particle propagation in all possible directions have been obtained.
