The linear Schr\"odinger equation with piecewise constant potential in one spatial dimension is a well-studied textbook problem. It is one of only a few solvable models in quantum mechanics and shares many qualitative features with…
The theoretical framework established in arXiv:quant-ph/0404103 is extended to deal with possible astrophysical manifestations of phenomena involving reverse, as well as forward, causation in time. The basic idea is that space-time…
We consider the binormal flow equation, which is a model for the dynamics of vortex filaments in Euler equations. Geometrically it is a flow of curves in three dimensions, explicitly connected to the 1-D Schr\"odinger map with values on the…
In this paper, we describe the evolution of spectral curves in the Siegel Jacobi space through the Schrodinger equation constructed from a Kahler geometry induced on the lognormal statistical manifold via Dombrowski's construction. We…
Studies have shown that the Hilbert spaces of non-Hermitian systems require nontrivial metrics. Here, we demonstrate how evolution dimensions, in addition to time, can emerge naturally from a geometric formalism. Specifically, in this…
We introduce a framework for non-linear time evolution in quantum mechanics as a natural non-linear generalization of the Schrodinger equation. Within our framework, we derive simple toy models of dynamical geometry on finite graphs. Along…
Combinatorial quantum gravity is governed by a discrete Einstein-Hilbert action formulated on an ensemble of random graphs. There is strong evidence for a second-order quantum phase transition separating a random phase at strong coupling…
Using a simple geometrical construction based upon the linear action of the Heisenberg--Weyl group we deduce a new nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation that provides an exact dynamic and energetic model of any classical system whatsoever, be…
This paper systematically treats the evolving quantum state for two-dimensional black holes, with particular focus on the CGHS model, but also elucidating features generalizing to higher dimensions. This is done in Schr\"odinger picture(s),…
In the Schroedinger equation, time plays a special role as an external parameter. We show that in an enlarged system where the time variable denotes an additional degree of freedom, solutions of the Schroedinger equation give rise to…
The implications of an Evolutionary Quantum Gravity are addressed in view of formulating a new dark matter candidate. We consider a Schr\"odinger dynamics for the gravitational field associated to a generic cosmological model and then we…
In the functional Schrodinger formalism, we obtain the wave function describing collapsing dust in an anti-de Sitter background, as seen by a co-moving observer, by mapping the resulting variable mass Schrodinger equation to that of the…
We analyse a nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation for the time-evolution of the wave function of an electron beam, interacting selfconsistently through a Hartree-Fock nonlinearity and through the repulsive Coulomb interaction of an atomic…
An embedding method for solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation is developed using the Dirac-Frenkel variational principle. Embedding allows the time-evolution of the wavefunction to be calculated explicitly in a limited region of…
Description of evolution between spatial slices in a general spacetime suffers from a significant difficulty: the states on the slices, in a given basis, are not related by a unitary transformation. This problem, which occurs in spacetime…
A Schr\"odinger-picture description of the evolving quantum state of Hawking radiation is given, based on an ADM decomposition using time slicings that smoothly cross the horizon. This treatment avoids requiring a role for trans-planckian…
We investigate the question of unitarity of evolution between hypersurfaces in quantum field theory in curved spacetime from the perspective of the general boundary formulation. Unitarity thus means unitarity of the quantum operator that…
We consider models of bosons on curved 3+1 dimensional space-time embedded in a higher dimensional flat ambient space. We propose to derive (rather than postulate) equations of motions by assuming that a standard Klein-Gordon field on…
Dynamical evolution is described as a parallel section on an infinite dimensional Hilbert bundle over the base manifold of all frames of reference. The parallel section is defined by an operator-valued connection whose components are the…
