A Stochastic Schrödinger Evolution System with Complex Potential Symmetry Using the Riemann–Liouville Fractional Derivative: Qualitative Behavior and Trajectory Controllability
Abstract
1. Introduction
- Recent Developments in Fractional Schrödinger Equations:
- Comparative Insights on Fractional Derivatives:
- 1.
- The R–L derivative has certain disadvantages when trying to model real-world phenomena with fractional differential equations. The R–L derivative of a constant is not zero. In addition, if an arbitrary function is a constant at the origin, its fractional derivative has a singularity at the origin, for instance, the exponential and Mittag–Leffler functions. These disadvantages reduce the field of application of the R–L fractional derivative.
- 2.
- To calculate the fractional derivative of a function in the Caputo sense, we must first compute its classical derivative, which imposes stricter requirements on differentiability and regularity. It is defined only for differentiable functions. Caputo’s derivative demands higher conditions of regularity for differentiability: to compute the fractional derivative of a function in the Caputo sense, we must first calculate its derivative. Caputo derivatives are defined only for differentiable functions, while functions that have no first-order derivative might have fractional derivatives of all orders less than one in the R–L sense.
- 3.
- One of the great advantages of the Caputo fractional derivative is that it allows traditional initial and boundary conditions to be included in the formulation of the problem in a real-world situation. In addition, its derivative for a constant is zero.
- 4.
- The Caputo derivative is the most appropriate fractional operator to be used in modeling real-world problems. It is customary in groundwater investigations to choose a point on the centerline of the pumped borehole as a reference for the observations; therefore, neither the drawdown nor its derivatives will vanish at the origin, as required. In such situations where the distribution of the piezometric head in the aquifer is a decreasing function of the distance from the borehole, the problem may be circumvented using the complementary, or Weyl, fractional order derivative.
- Comparative experiments enhance the credibility of the proposed method. It requires initial conditions in terms of fractional integrals, which, though more abstract, accurately reflect memory effects and non-locality, a hallmark of many physical, biological, and engineering systems. Thus, the R–L derivative is chosen when initial conditions based on fractional integrals are meaningful or required by the mathematical modeling of the system.
- It is suitable for problems where initial conditions arise naturally from fractional integrals or when the system inherently depends on past states expressed through integrals.
- It Highlights how the R–L derivative model performs relative to the Caputo model, which can strengthen the argument for choosing one over the other or reveal specific scenarios where the R–L derivative offers unique advantages, like a strong historical foundation, being non-local and memory-dependent, etc.
Feature | Caputo Derivative & Riemann–Liouville Derivative | |
Definition | Derivative is applied after the integral operator. | Integral is applied after the derivative operator. |
Initial Conditions | Accepts initial conditions in terms of integer-order derivatives (e.g., position and velocity), making it more practical for physical models. | Requires initial conditions in terms of fractional-order derivatives, which are often difficult to interpret or measure physically. |
Physical Interpretability | More suitable for physical and engineering problems; initial conditions have clear physical meaning. | Less intuitive for real-world initial value problems due to non-local fractional initial conditions. |
Mathematical Generality | Slightly less general than Riemann-Liouville in theory. | More general mathematically; includes a wider range of functions. |
Zero Derivative of Constants | Caputo derivative of a constant is zero. | Riemann-Liouville derivative of a constant is non-zero. |
Use in Initial Value Problems | Preferred in modeling real-world IVPs due to classical-style initial conditions. & Less commonly used in IVPs unless initial fractional conditions are known. | |
Complexity in Laplace Transform | Laplace transform leads to terms with initial conditions in standard (integer-order) form. | Laplace transform results involve fractional-order initial conditions, adding complexity. |
Computational Implementation | Easier to implement numerically for physical problems. | More challenging computationally, especially for setting bound and initial conditions. |
- Modeling quantum systems where standard integer-order models fail, such as anomalous diffusion or quantum transport in fractal or porous media.
- Describing non-Markovian dynamics, which are common in realistic quantum systems.
- In classical physics, if we know an object’s position and momentum, Newton’s Laws allow us to precisely predict its future position and momentum, provided we account for all acting forces. Newton’s laws are deterministic; they describe how forces interact and dictate the object’s trajectory at any given moment.
- In contrast, quantum mechanics introduces a different paradigm. When a photon is detected on a photographic plate, it manifests at a specific location, exposing that part of the plate to light. This does not mean that the photon initially traveled as a wave and then landed as a particle. Instead, under this interpretation, the particle does not have a defined physical reality until it is observed. The SE, in this view, serves as a mathematical tool for predicting where the particle is likely to be detected.
- Beyond this, one can analyze the TC of the particle within a fractional-order system, considering non-dynamical motion. This approach allows for a deeper exploration of quantum behavior in complex systems.
- Main Contributions of This Work:
- Existence of Solutions: We establish the existence of mild solutions for FSSEs using the Mönch fixed point theorem, fractional calculus, and semigroup theory.
- Stability and TC Analysis: We analyze the exponential stability of the solutions via Gronwall’s inequality and derive sufficient conditions for trajectory controllability under stochastic and memory-driven dynamics.
- Numerical Validation: Numerical simulations support the theoretical results, demonstrating how various control strategies influence system behavior in the presence of stochastic noise and fractional effects.

- Physical Interpretations in Quantum Systems: In Schrödinger-type systems, the Hamiltonian or generator of the evolution may be modeled as an operator. If this operator is Lipschitz continuous, then a small change in the initial quantum state (wave function) leads to proportionally small changes in the system’s evolution. This implies robustness and predictability in how quantum states evolve over time.
- 2.
- Control Sensitivity: In quantum control theory, a control operator (e.g., coupling between system and external field) being Lipschitz continuous means that the output quantum state or observable changes is the most linear with respect to the control input. This helps to design feedback control laws and ensures that the system behaves in a predictable and tunable manner.
