It is shown that there are static spacetimes with timelike curvature singularities which appear completely nonsingular when probed with quantum test particles. Examples include extreme dilatonic black holes and the fundamental string…
In Foldy-Wouthuysen representation, we deduce the effective quantum mechanics for a particle confined to a curved surface by using the thin-layer quantization scheme. We find that the spin effect caused by confined potential as the results…
We investigate the discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian describing a quantum particle living in the two-dimensional curved strip. We impose the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on opposite sides of the strip. The existence of the…
As the possibility to decouple temporal and spatial variations of the electromagnetic field, leading to a wavelength stretching, has been recognized to be of paramount importance for practical applications, we generalize the idea of…
The behavior of classical and quantum wave beams in stationary media is shown to be ruled by a "Wave Potential" function encoded in Helmholtz-like equations, determined by the structure itself of the beam and taking, in the quantum case,…
The past few years have seen a revived interest in quantum geometrical characterizations of band structures due to the rapid development of topological insulators and semi-metals. Although the metric tensor has been connected to many…
Curvature is a key notion in General Relativity, characterizing the local physical properties of spacetime. By contrast, the concept of curvature has received scant attention in nonperturbative quantum gravity. One may even wonder whether…
We study a quantum mechanical system consisting of up to three identical dipoles confined to move along a helical shaped trap. The long-range interactions between particles confined to move in this one dimension leads to an interesting…
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 describe the bound state and scattering properties of a quantum mechanical particle in a scalar $N$-prong potential. Such a study is of special interest since these situations are intermediate between one and two dimensions. The energy…
We analyze the eigenvalue problem of a quantum particle on the line with the generalized pointlike potential of three parameter family. It is shown that the energy surface in the parameter space has a set of singularities, around which…
Quantum physics is a linear theory, so it is somewhat puzzling that it can underlie very complex systems such as digital computers and life. This paper investigates how this is possible. Physically, such complex systems are necessarily…
We describe a quantum limit to measurement of classical spacetimes. Specifically, we formulate a quantum Cramer-Rao lower bound for estimating the single parameter in any one-parameter family of spacetime metrics. We employ the locally…
We investigate the system of a particle moving on a half line x >= 0 under the general walls at x = 0 that are permitted quantum mechanically. These quantum walls, characterized by a parameter L, are shown to be realized as a limit of…
Some recent results concerning a particle confined in a one-dimensional box with moving walls are briefly reviewed. By exploiting the same techniques used for the 1D problem, we investigate the behavior of a quantum particle confined in a…
We give full account of our recent report in [E.A. Galapon, R. Caballar, R. Bahague {\it Phys. Rev. Let.} {\bf 93} 180406 (2004)] where it is shown that formulating the free quantum time of arrival problem in a segment of the real line…
We use exact WKB analysis to derive some concrete formulae in singular quantum perturbation theory, for Schr\"odinger eigenvalue problems on the real line with polynomial potentials of the form $(q^M + g q^N)$, where $N>M>0$ even, and…
From a careful study of the transcendental equations fulfilled by the bound state energies of a free particle in a quantum well, cylindrical wire or spherical dot with finite potential barrier, we have derived analytical expressions of…
The formulation of Geometric Quantization contains several axioms and assumptions. We show that for real polarizations we can generalize the standard geometric quantization procedure by introducing an arbitrary connection on the…
In this note we consider a pair of particles moving on the positive half-line with the pairing generated by a hard-wall potential. This model was first introduced in [arXiv:1604.06693] and later applied to investigate condensation of pairs…
