Such operators naturally arise in problems of simulating point contacts to reservoirs. We construct a boundary triplet $\\Pi_S$ for $S^*$ preserving the tensor structure. The corresponding $\\gamma$-field and Weyl function are expressed by means of the $\\gamma$-field and Weyl function corresponding to the boundary triplet $\\Pi_A$ for $A^*$ and the spectral measure of $T$. Applications to 1-D Schr\\\"odinger and Dirac operators are given. A model of electron transport through a quantum dot assisted by cavity photons is proposed. In this model the boundary operator is chosen to be the well-known Jaynes-Cumming operator which is regarded as the Hamiltonian of the quantum dot.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-20T13:27:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "boundary triplet", "tensor products", "reservoirs", "weyl function", "quantum dot" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
