The fractional Schrödinger operator and Toeplitz matrices

Confining a quantum particle in a compact subinterval of the real line with Dirichlet boundary conditions, we identify the connection of the one-dimensional fractional Schrödinger operator with the truncated Toeplitz matrices. We determine the asymptotic behaviour of the product of eigenvalues for the $α$-stable symmetric laws by employing the Szegö's strong limit theorem. The results of the present work can be applied to a recently proposed model for a particle hopping on a bounded interval in one dimension whose hopping probability is given a discrete representation of the fractional Laplacian.
