Abstract

A Hamiltonian with eigenenergy En=ρn(1ρn) E_n = \rho_n(1 - \rho_n) has been constructed, where ρn \rho_n denotes the n n -th non-trivial zero of the Riemann zeta function. To construct such a Hamiltonian, we generalize the Berry-Keating paradigm and encode number-theoretic information into the Hamiltonian using modular forms.Although our construction does not resolve the Hilbert-P\'olya conjecture (since the eigenstates corresponding to En E_n are \emph{not} normalizable), it provides a novel physical perspective on the Riemann Hypothesis (RH). In particular, we propose a physical interpretation of RH, which could offer a potential pathway toward its proof.
