The quantum measurement axiom dictates that physical observables and in particular the Hamiltonian must be diagonalizable and have a real spectrum. For a time-independent Hamiltonian (with a discrete spectrum) these conditions ensure the…
The problem of defining work done on electromagnetic field (EMF) via moving charges does not have a ready solution, because the standard Hamiltonian of EMF does not predict gauge-invariant energy changes. This limits applications of…

Gauge invariance is essential for making physically meaningful predictions. In superconductors, mean-field Hamiltonians that explicitly break $U(1)$ symmetry often yield gauge-dependent results. While this issue has been resolved for linear…
