The almost Mathieu operator is the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H_{\alpha,\beta,\theta}$ on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$ defined via $(H_{\alpha,\beta,\theta}f)(k) = f(k + 1) + f(k - 1) + \beta \cos(2\pi \alpha k + \theta) f(k)$. We derive…
A non-commuting measurement transfers, via the apparatus, information encoded in a system's state to the external "observer". Classical measurements determine properties of physical objects. In the quantum realm, the very same notion…

We study invariance for eigenvalues of families of selfadjoint Sturm-Liouville operators with local point interactions. In a probabilistic setting, we show that a point is either an eigenvalue for all members of the family or only for a set…
The spectral analysis of a non-Hermitian unbounded operator appearing in quantum physics is our main concern. The properties of such an operator are essentially different from those of Hermitian Hamiltonians, namely due to spectral…
Given a state of light, how do its properties change when only some of the constituent photons are observed and the rest are neglected (traced out)? By developing formulae for mode-agnostic removal of photons from a beam, we show how the…
Orthogonal decomposition of the square root of a probability density function in the Hermite basis is a useful low-dimensional parameterization of continuous probability distributions over the reals. This representation is formally similar…
