The time-evolution operator for an explicitly time-dependent Hamiltonian is expressed as the product of a sequence of unitary operators. These are obtained by successive time-dependent unitary transformations of the Hilbert space followed…
We study two seminal approaches, developed by B. Simon and J. Kisy\'nski, to the well-posedness of the Schr\"odinger equation with a time-dependent Hamiltonian. In both cases the Hamiltonian is assumed to be semibounded from below and to…

We introduce a self-consistent framework for the analysis of both Abelian and non-Abelian geometric phases associated with open quantum systems, undergoing cyclic adiabatic evolution. We derive a general expression for geometric phases,…
We consider an isolated autonomous quantum machine, where an explicit quantum clock is responsible for performing all transformations on an arbitrary quantum system (the engine), via a time-independent Hamiltonian. In a general context, we…
We show that braiding transformation is a natural approach to describe quantum entanglement, by using the unitary braiding operators to realize entanglement swapping and generate the GHZ states as well as the linear cluster states. A…
We present a simple derivation of the formula for the Hamiltonian operator(s) that achieve the fastest possible unitary evolution between given initial and final states. We discuss how this formula is modified in pseudo-Hermitian quantum…
We propose a new method for simulating certain type of time-dependent Hamiltonian $H(t) = \sum_{i=1}^m \gamma_i(t) H_i$ where $\gamma_i(t)$ (and its higher order derivatives) is bounded, computable function of time $t$, and each $H_i$ is…
The (Berry-Aharonov-Anandan) geometric phase acquired during a cyclic quantum evolution of finite-dimensional quantum systems is studied. It is shown that a pure quantum state in a (2J+1)-dimensional Hilbert space (or, equivalently, of a…
A Hermitian quantum phase operator is formulated that mirrors the classical phase variable with proper time dependence and satisfies trigonometric identities. The eigenstates of the phase operator are solved in terms of Gegenbauer…
A powerful method for calculating the eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian operator consists of converting the energy eigenvalue equation into a matrix equation by means of an appropriate basis set of functions. The convergence of the method can be…
We propose in this article a quantum square ring that conveniently generates, annihilates and distills the Aharonov Casher phase with the aid of entanglement. The non-Abelian phase is carried by a pair of spin-entangled particles traversing…
For a T-periodic non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H(t), we construct a class of adiabatic cyclic states of period T which are not eigenstates of the initial Hamiltonian H(0). We show that the corresponding adiabatic geometric phase angles are real…
In investigations of the emergence of classicality from quantum theory, a useful step is the construction of quantum operators corresponding to the classical notion that the system resides in a region of phase space. The simplest such…

Hamiltonian operators are gauge dependent. For overcome this difficulty we reexamined the effect of a gauge transformation on Schr\"odinger and Dirac equations. We show that the gauge invariance of the operator…
We develop new constructions of 2D classical and quantum superintegrable Hamiltonians allowing separation of variables in Cartesian coordinates. In classical mechanics we start from two functions on a one-dimensional phase space, a natural…
A time operator is a Hermitian operator that is canonically conjugate to a given Hamiltonian. For a particle in 1-dimension, a Hamiltonian conjugate operator in position representation can be obtained by solving a hyperbolic second-order…
We in this paper demonstrate that the $PT$-symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian for a periodically driven system can be generated from a kernel Hamiltonian by a generalized gauge transformation. The kernel Hamiltonian is Hermitian and…
Although the Hamiltonian in quantum physics has to be a linear operator, it is possible to make quantum systems behave as if their Hamiltonians contained antilinear (i.e., semilinear or conjugate-linear) terms. For any given quantum system,…
