This paper is a contribution to the problem of particle localization in non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics. Our main results will be (1) to formulate the problem of localization in terms of invariant subspaces of the Hilbert space, and (2)…
The quantum mechanics of position measurement of a macroscopic object is typically inaccessible because of strong coupling to the environment and classical noise. Here we monitor a mechanical resonator subject to an increasingly strong…

Subtle internal interference effects allow quantum-chaotic systems to display "sub-Fourier" resonances, i.e. to distinguish two neighboring driving frequencies in a time shorter than the inverse of the difference of the two frequencies. We…
We construct a relativistic quantum mechanics for a boson. To do this we exploit two component wave functions in Dirac type equations of motion. In our formalism we fix the pathological aspect of particle probability density which appears…
