We show that there exist non-relativistic scattering experiments which, if successful, freeze out, speed up or even reverse the free dynamics of any ensemble of quantum systems present in the scattering region. This time translation effect…
The Bayesian approach to ill-posed operator equations in Hilbert space recently gained attraction. In this context, and when the prior distribution is Gaussian, then two operators play a significant role, the one which governs the operator…
We derive an extension of the standard time dependent WKB theory which can be applied to propagate coherent states and other strongly localised states for long times. It allows in particular to give a uniform description of the…
It is remarkable that Heisenberg's position-momentum uncertainty relation leads to the existence of a maximal acceleration for a physical particle in the context of a geometric reformulation of quantum mechanics. It is also known that the…
In principle, non-Hermitian quantum equations of motion can be formulated using as a starting point either the Heisenberg's or the Schr\"odinger's picture of quantum dynamics. Here it is shown in both cases how to map the algebra of…
Recently Bender, Brody, Jones and Meister found that in the quantum brachistochrone problem the passage time needed for the evolution of certain initial states into specified final states can be made arbitrarily small, when the…
We provide time-evolution operators, gauge transformations and a perturbative treatment for non-Hermitian Hamiltonian systems, which are explicitly time-dependent. We determine various new equivalence pairs for Hermitian and non-Hermitian…
In quantum mechanics the unitary evolution is most often described in a pre-selected Hilbert space ${\cal H}^{(textbook)}$ in which, due to the Stone theorem, the Schr\"odinger-picture Hamiltonian is self-adjoint,…
The vacuum expectation value of the evolution operator for a general class of Hamiltonians used in quantum field theory and statistical physics and which include unstable particles is considered. An exact formula which describes the large…
A unitary operator which relates the system of a particle in a linear potential with time-dependent parameters to that of a free particle, has been given. This operator, closely related to the one which is responsible for the existence of…
We construct wave packets for the hydrogen atom labelled by the classical action-angle variables with the following properties. i) The time evolution is exactly given by classical evolution of the angle variables. (The angle variable…
We present a new setting of the geometric Hamilton-Jacobi theory by using the so-called time-evolution operator K. This new approach unifies both the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian formulation of the problem developed in a previous paper…
The Bethe Strip of width $m$ is the cartesian product $\B\times\{1,...,m\}$, where $\B$ is the Bethe lattice (Cayley tree). We consider Anderson-like Hamiltonians $H_\lambda=\frac12 \Delta \otimes 1 + 1 \otimes A+\lambda \Vv$ on a Bethe…
Non commutative quantum mechanics can be viewed as a quantum system represented in the space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators acting on non commutative configuration space. Taking this as departure point, we formulate a coherent state approach…
The time-evolution operator obtained from the fractional-time Schr\"{o}dinger equation (FTSE) is said to be non-unitary since it does not preserve the norm of the vector state in time. As done in the time-dependent non-Hermitian quantum…
We study nonlinear systems of hyperbolic (in a wider sense) PDE's in entire d-dimensional space describing wave propagation with the initial data in the form of a finite sum of wavepackets referred to as multi-wavepackets. The problem…
Using the technique of an optical centrifuge, we produce rotational wave packets which evolve in time along either classical-like or non-classical trajectories. After releasing O2 and D2 molecules from the centrifuge, we track their…
Nonlinear and nonlinear evolution equations of the form $u_t=\L u \pm|\nabla u|^q$, where $\L$ is a pseudodifferential operator representing the infinitesimal generator of a L\'evy stochastic process, have been derived as models for growing…
Consider $n+m$ nonintersecting Brownian bridges, with $n$ of them leaving from 0 at time $t=-1$ and returning to 0 at time $t=1$, while the $m$ remaining ones (wanderers) go from $m$ points $a_i$ to $m$ points $b_i$. First, we keep $m$…
The time evolution of wavepackets in crystals in the presence of a homogeneous electric field is formulated in k-space in a numerically tractable form. The dynamics is governed by separate equations for the motion of the waveform in k-space…
