Quantum systems with constraints are often considered in modern theoretical physcics. All realistic field models based on the idea of gauge symmetry are of this type. A partial case of constraints being linear in coordinate and momenta…
We apply the reduced phase space quantization to the Kasner universe. We construct the kinematical phase space, find solutions to the Hamilton equations of motion, identify Dirac observables and arrive at physical solutions in terms of…
For a Dirac theory of quantum gravity obtained from the refined algebraic quantization procedure, we propose a quantum notion of Cauchy surfaces. In such a theory, there is a kernel projector for the quantized scalar and momentum…
A quantum theory is constructed for the system of a relativistic particle with mass m moving freely on the SL(2,R) group manifold. Applied to the cotangent bundle of SL(2,R), the method of Hamiltonian reduction allows us to split the…
Canonical quantization of spherically symmetric space-times is carried out, using real-valued densitized triads and extrinsic curvature components, with specific factor ordering choices ensuring in an anomaly free quantum constraint…
Building upon our recently established correspondence between quantum cosmology and the hydrogen atom [1], we investigate the specific sector of a negative cosmological constant ($\Lambda < 0$) in a flat FLRW universe with dust. While the…
We show in detail how the histories description of general relativity carries representations of both the spacetime diffeomorphisms group and the Dirac algebra of constraints. We show that the introduction of metric-dependent equivariant…
We show that under certain technical assumptions, including the existence of a constant mean curvature (CMC) slice and strict positivity of the scalar field, general relativity conformally coupled to a scalar field can be quantised on a…
We study massless 1-dimensional Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonians, that is, operators on the half-line of the form $D_{\omega,\lambda}:=\begin{bmatrix}-\frac{\lambda+\omega}{x}&-\partial_x \\ \partial_x & -\frac{\lambda-\omega}{x}\end{bmatrix}$.…
We consider general relativity with a cosmological constant as a perturbative expansion around a completely solvable diffeomorphism invariant field theory. This theory is the $\Lambda\to\infty$ limit of general relativity. This allows an…
We analyse the `quantization commutes with reduction' problem (first studied in physics by Dirac, and known in the mathematical literature also as the Guillemin-Sternberg Conjecture) for the conjugate action of a compact connected Lie group…
In this paper we present a model of Riemannian loop quantum cosmology with a self-adjoint quantum scalar constraint. The physical Hilbert space is constructed using refined algebraic quantization. When matter is included in the form of a…
It is now well established that quantum tomography provides an alternative picture of quantum mechanics. It is common to introduce tomographic concepts starting with the Schrodinger-Dirac picture of quantum mechanics on Hilbert spaces. In…
As a sequel to our previous work\cite{Feng2020}, we propose in this paper a quantization scheme for Dirac field in de Sitter spacetime. Our scheme is covariant under both general transformations and Lorentz transformations. We first present…
In our model a fixed Hamiltonian acts on the joint Hilbert space of a quantum system and its controller. We show under which conditions measurements, state preparations, and unitary implementations on the system can be performed by quantum…
A unitary representation of a, possibly infinite dimensional, Lie group G is called semi-bounded if the corresponding operators id\pi(x) from the derived representations are uniformly bounded from above on some non-empty open subset of the…
Generators of spacetime translations and Lorentz group transformations form the Lie algebra of the Poincar\'e group and give rise to the Casimir invariants for a specification of elementary particle characteristics. Moreover quantum…
The Cl(3,0) Clifford algebra is represented with the commutative ring of hyperbolic numbers H. The canonical form of the Poincare mass operator defined in this vector space corresponds to a sixteen-dimensional structure. This conflicts with…
A quantum walk describes the discrete unitary evolution of a quantum particle on a discrete graph. Some quantum walks, referred to as the Weyl and Dirac quantum walks, provide a description of the free evolution of relativistic quantum…
We lay the foundations for a broad algebraic theory encompassing SICs in the hope of elucidating their heuristic connections with Stark units. What emerges is a greatly generalised set-up with added structure and potential for applications…
