We discuss in details a simple, purely bosonic, quantum field theory belonging to larger class of models with the following properties: a) They are asymptotically free, with a dynamically generated mass scale. b) They have a space of…

A new family of non-Hermitian PT-symmetric quantum models is proposed in which the Hamiltonians $H=T+V$ are finite-dimensional and in which the dynamical-input potential $V$ is multi-parametric and non-local. The choice is supported by the…

We study relativistic particle, string and membrane theories as defining field theories containing gravity in (0+1), (1+1) and (2+1) spacetime dimensions respectively. We show how an off shell invariance of the massless particle action…

Quantum computers will work by evolving a high tensor power of a small (e.g. two) dimensional Hilbert space by local gates, which can be implemented by applying a local Hamiltonian H for a time t. In contrast to this quantum engineering,…

Asymptotic symmetries are a general and important feature of theories with long-ranging fields, such as gravity, electromagnetism, and Yang-Mills. They appear in the formalism once the analytic behaviour of fields near infinity is specified…

We describe a semidefinite relaxation method which finds lower bounds to the ground state energy of a quantum Hamiltonian subject to Hermitian linear constraints along with approximations of ground state expectation values. We show that…

Some PT-symmetric non-hermitean Hamiltonians have only real eigenvalues. There is numerical evidence that the associated PT-invariant energy eigenstates satisfy an unconventional completeness relation. An ad hoc scalar product among the…
