Quantum mechanics and classical mechanics are two very different theories, but the correspondence principle states that quantum particles behave classically in the limit of high quantum number. In recent years much research has been done on…
We investigate the quantum recurrence phenomena in periodically driven systems. We calculate the classical period and the quantum recurrence time and develop their interdependence. We further predict the behavior of the recurrence phenomena…
We study the motion of electrons in a periodic background potential (usually resulting from a crystalline solid). For small velocities one would use either the non-magnetic or the magnetic Bloch hamiltonian, while in the relativistic regime…
We consider time periodic Hamiltonians with complex potentials on the lattice and determine trace formulas. As a corollary we estimate eigenvalues of the quasienergy operator in terms of the norm of potentials.
We investigate the formation of polycrystalline structures in a class of particle systems. The atomistic energy is modeled as a sum of particle energies that favor atoms being locally isometric to a reference lattice. The discrete frame…
We study the forms of the orbits in a symmetric configuration of a realistic model of the H2O molecule with particular emphasis on the periodic orbits. We use an appropriate Poincar\'e surface of section (PSS) and study the distribution of…
Motion of a non-relativistic particle on a cone with a magnetic flux running through the cone axis (a ``flux cone'') is studied. It is expressed as the motion of a particle moving on the Euclidean plane under the action of a…
The equations of motion for the position and spin of a classical particle coupled to an external electromagnetic and gravitational potential are derived from an action principle. The constraints insuring a correct number of independent spin…
Based on the analysis of biquaternion quadratic forms of field, it is shown that Maxwell equations arise as a consequence of the principle of conservation of the energy-momentum flow of field in space-time. It turns out that this principle…
Semiclassical methods have been applied very successfully to describe the nontrivial transition from the quantum to the classical regime in $\textit{single}$-particle or at least $\textit{few}$-particle systems. Challenges on the way to an…
Can classical systems be described analytically at all orders in their interaction strength? For periodic and approximately periodic systems, the answer is yes, as we show in this work. Our analytical approach, which we call the…
A spinning black hole with a much smaller black hole companion forms a fundamental gravitational system, like a colossal classical analog to an atom. In an appealing if imperfect analogy to atomic physics, this gravitational atom can be…
Any periodic trajectory on an isosceles triangle gives rise to a periodic trajectory on a right triangle obtained by identifying the halves of the original triangle. We examine the relationship between periodic trajectories on isosceles…
Our main is to study periodic orbits of linear and invariant flows on a real, connected Lie group. Since each linear flow $\varphi_t$ has a derivation associated $\mathcal{D}$, we show that the existence of periodic orbits of $\varphi_t$ is…
Consider any stationary Schroedinger wave equation (SWE) solution $psi (x)$ for a particle. The corresponding PDF on position QTR{em}{x} of the particle is QTR{em}{p}$_{X}(x)=|psi (x)|^{2}$. There is a classical trajectory QTR{em}{x(t)} for…
The motion of celestial bodies in astronomy is closely related to the orbits of electrons encircling an atomic nucleus. Bohr and Sommerfeld presented a quantization scheme of the classical orbits to analyze the eigenstates of the hydrogen…
We consider a motion of a weakly relativistic charged particle with an arbitrary spin in central potential $e/r$ in terms of classical mechanics. We show that the spin-orbital interaction causes the precession of the plane of orbit around…
The region very close to an electron ($r << r_0 = e^2/mc^2 \approx 2.8\times 10^{-13}$ cm) is, according to quantum electrodynamics, a seething maelstrom of virtual electron-positron pairs flashing in and out of existence. To take account…
