We study the localization transitions which arise in both one and two dimensions when quantum mechanical particles described by a random Schr\"odinger equation are subjected to a constant imaginary vector potential. A path-integral…

In this paper we discuss how seemingly different notions of locality and causality in quantum field theory can be unified using a non-abelian generalization of the Hammerstein property (originally introduced as a weaker version of…

The standard formulation of gauge theories results from the Lagrangian (functional integral) quantization of classical gauge theories. A more intrinsic qunantum theoretical access in the spirit of Wigner's representation theory shows that…

We discuss the nonlocal nature of quantum mechanics and the link with relativistic quantum mechanics such as formulated by quantum field theory. We use here a nonlocal quantum field theory (NLQFT) which is finite, satisfies Poincar\'e…

We show that the quantum wavefunction, interpreted as the probability density of finding a single non-localized quantum particle, which evolves according to classical laws of motion, is an intermediate description of a material quantum…

The paper focuses on the problem of localization in quantum mechanics. It is well known that it is not possible to define a localization observable for the photon by means of projection valued measures. Conversely, that is possible by using…

In this paper we introduce a new general framework for the study of phenomenological quantum gravity theories (PQG). The key idea is the introduction of two different types of spacetime, an observer-independent spacetime (modeled by a…
