What Does CAP Stand For?
CAP stands for Complex Absorbing Potential
CAP, or Complex Absorbing Potential, refers to a mathematical technique used in quantum mechanics and wave propagation studies. It involves the introduction of a complex potential that effectively absorbs outgoing waves, thereby simulating an open boundary condition. This approach is particularly valuable in computational physics, allowing for accurate modeling of systems without the need for explicit boundaries, facilitating the investigation of scattering processes and the behavior of quantum systems in unbounded domains.
