We develop a theory of indirect measurements where a probe is able to read, in short interaction times, the quantum state of a remote system through an incoherent wall. The probe and the system can interact with an ancilla in an incoherent…

Non-Hermitian systems having parity-time ($\mathcal {PT}$) symmetry can undergo a transition, spontaneously breaking the symmetry. Ultracold atomic gases provide an ideal platform to study interaction effects on the transition. We consider…

We provide an elementary proof that the action for the physical trajectory of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator is guaranteed to be a minimum if and only if $\tau < \pi/\omega$, where $\tau$ is the elapsed time and $\omega$ is the…

A minimal observable length is a common feature of theories that aim to merge quantum physics and gravity. Quantum mechanically, this concept is associated to a nonzero minimal uncertainty in position measurements, which is encoded in…

We will study the splitting in the energy spectrum of the hydrogen atom subjected to a uniform electric field (Stark effect) with the Heisenberg algebra deformed leading to the minimum length. We will use the perturbation theory for cases…

It is expected that the implementation of minimal length in quantum models leads to a consequent lowering of Planck's scale. In this paper, using the quantum model with minimal length of Kempf et al \cite{kempf0}, we examine the effect of…

In this paper, we investigate a two dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator on a time-dependent spherical background. The effect of the background can be represented as a minimally coupled field to the oscillator's Hamiltonian. For a…

We study the phase diagram, both at zero and finite temperature, in a class of $\mathbb{Z}_q$ models with infinite range interactions. We are able to identify the transitions between a symmetry-breaking and a trivial phase by using a…

The quantum harmonic oscillator with parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry, obtained from the ordinary (Hermitian) quantum harmonic oscillator by an imaginary displacement of the spatial coordinate, provides an important and…

We investigate the effect of the minimal length uncertainty relation, motivated by perturbative string theory, on the density of states in momentum space. The relation is implemented through the modified commutation relation [x_i,p_j]=i…

If a Hamiltonian is PT symmetric, there are two possibilities: Either the eigenvalues are entirely real, in which case the Hamiltonian is said to be in an unbroken-PT-symmetric phase, or else the eigenvalues are partly real and partly…

We consider the form of the chiral symmetry breaking piece of the effective potential in the linear sigma model. Surprisingly, it allows for a second local minimum at both zero and finite temperature. Even though chiral symmetry is not…

It is generally assumed that a Hamiltonian for a physically acceptable quantum system (one that has a positive-definite spectrum and obeys the requirement of unitarity) must be Hermitian. However, a PT-symmetric Hamiltonian can also define…
