We consider a general formalism for treating a Hamiltonian (canonical) field theory with a spatial boundary. In this formalism essentially all functionals are differentiable from the very beginning and hence no improvement terms are needed.…
We discuss a model of both classical and integer quantum Hall-effect which is based on a semi-classical Schroedinger-Chern-Simons-action, where the Ohm-equations result as equations of motion. The quantization of the classical…
The formalism of quantum mechanics is presented in a way that its interpretation as a classical field theory is emphasized. Two coupled real fields are defined with given equations of motion. Densities and currents associated to the fields…
Starting from the Schr\"odinger-equation of a composite system, we derive unified dynamics of a classical harmonic system coupled to an arbitrary quantized system. The classical subsystem is described by random phase-space coordinates…
One of the most important issues in quantum gravity is to identify its semi-classical regime. First the issue is to define for we mean by a semi-classical theory of quantum gravity, then we would like to use it to extract physical…
This article will summarize selected aspects of the semiclassical theory of gravity, which involves a classical gravitational field coupled to quantum matter fields. Among the issues which will be discussed are the role of quantum effects…
We review in simple terms the covariant approaches to the canonical formulation of classical relativistic field theories (in particular gauge field theories and general relativity) and we discuss the relationships between these approaches…
The phenomenology of quantum systems in curved space-times is among the most fascinating fields of physics, allowing --often at the gedankenexperiment level-- constraints on tentative theories of quantum gravity. Determining the dynamics of…
I shortly describe semi-classical models of spinning electron and list a number of theoretical issues where these models turn out to be useful, see arXiv:1710.07135 for details. Then I discuss the possibility to extend the range of…
Canonical quantization has served wonderfully for the quantization of a vast number of classical systems. That includes single classical variables, such as $p$ and $q$, and numerous classical Hamiltonians $H(p,q)$, as well as field…
An integrable anharmonic oscillator is presumably simulable by a classical computer and therefore by a quantum computer. An integrable anharmonic oscillator whose Hamiltonian is of normal type and quartic in the canonical coordinates is not…
We briefly review a recently developed semiclassical theory for quantum oscillations in the spatial (particle and kinetic energy) densities of finite fermion systems and present some examples of its results. We then discuss the inclusion of…
Given a quantum Hamiltonian, we explain how the dynamical properties of the underlying classical system affect the behaviour of quantum eigenstates in the semi-classical limit. We study this problem via the notion of semiclassical measures.…
A semiclassical approximation is derived by using a family of wavepackets to map arbitrary wavefunctions into phase space. If the Hamiltonian can be approximated as linear over each individual wavepacket, as often done when presenting…
A phenomenon of classical quantization is discussed. This is revealed in the class of pseudoclassical gauge systems with nonlinear nilpotent constraints containing some free parameters. Variation of parameters does not change local (gauge)…
Algebraic quantization scheme has been proposed as an extension of the Dirac quantization scheme for constrained systems. Semi-classical states for constrained systems is also an independent and important issue, particularly in the context…
A recent notion in theoretical physics is that not all quantum theories arise from quantising a classical system. Also, a given quantum model may possess more than just one classical limit. These facts find strong evidence in string duality…
We construct a class of systems for which quantum dynamics can be expanded around a mean field approximation with essentially classical content. The modulus of the quantum overlap of mean field states naturally introduces a classical…
We quantize abelian Yang-Mills theory on Riemannian manifolds with boundaries in any dimension. The quantization proceeds in two steps. First, the classical theory is encoded into an axiomatic form describing solution spaces associated to…
A pseudoclassical model, reproducing, upon quantization, the dynamics of the chiral sectors of the massless spin-1/2 field theory is proposed. The discrete symmetries of the action are studied in details. In order to reproduce the positive…
