We consider a model dissipative quantum-mechanical system realized by coupling a quantum oscillator to a semi-infinite classical string which serves as a means of energy transfer from the oscillator to the infinity and thus plays the role…
In the standard formulation of quantum mechanics, one starts by proposing a potential function that models the physical system. The potential is then inserted into the Schr\"odinger equation, which is solved for the wave function, bound…

It has been suggested in arXiv:1010.1415 that certain derivatively coupled non-renormalizable scalar field theories might restore the perturbative unitarity of high energy hard scatterings by classicalization, i.e. formation of…
In this paper we consider the inverse scattering problem for the Schr{\"o}dinger operator with short-range electric potential. We prove in dimension n $\geq$ 2 that the knowledge of the scattering operator determines the electric potential…

An analysis of classical mechanics in a complex extension of phase space shows that a particle in such a space can behave in a way redolant of quantum mechanics; additional degrees of freedom permit 'tunnelling' without recourse to…
In this paper we study the semiclassical limit of the Schr\"odinger equation. Under mild regularity assumptions on the potential $U$ which include Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surfaces in molecular dynamics, we establish asymptotic…
We discuss the conditions for the classicality of quantum states with a very large number of identical particles. By treating the center of mass as a Bohmian particle, we show that it follows a classical trajectory when the distribution of…
