A manifestly Lorentz-covariant formulation of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) is given in terms of finite-dimensional representations of the Lorentz group. The formulation accounts for discrete symmetries, such as parity and time-reversal, and…

Our previous work on quantum kinematics and coherent states over finite configuration spaces is extended: the configuration space is, as before, the cyclic group Z_n of arbitrary order n=2,3,..., but a larger group - the non-Abelian…
It is proposed that the paradox of wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics may be resolved using a physical picture analogous to magnetic domains. Within this picture, a quantum particle represents a coherent region of a quantum wave…
When developing a quantum theory for a physical system, one determines the system's symmetry group and its irreducible unitary representations. For Minkowski space, the symmetry group is the Poincar\'e group, $\mathbb{R}^4 \rtimes…
Recent developments in quantum gravity have shown the Lorentzian treatment to be a fruitful approach towards the emergence of macroscopic spacetimes. In this paper, we discuss another related aspect of the Lorentzian treatment: we argue…
These are intended to be review notes on emergent symmetries, i.e., symmetries which manifest themselves in specific sectors of energy in many systems. The emphasis is on the physical aspects rather than computation methods. We include some…

We review a geometric approach to classification and examination of quantum correlations in composite systems. Since quantum information tasks are usually achieved by manipulating spin and alike systems or, in general, systems with a finite…
Two-photon states produce enough symmetry needed for Dirac's construction of the two-oscillator system which produces the Lie algebra for the O(3,2) space-time symmetry. This O(3,2) group can be contracted to the inhomogeneous Lorentz group…
A new technique for constructing the relativistic wave equation for the two-body system composed of the spin-1/2 and spin-0 particles is proposed. The method is based on the extension of the SL(2,C) group to the Sp(4,C) one. The obtained…
The non-relativistic hydrogen atom and the Zwanziger problem have the same dynamical symmetry for bound and scattering states.We show that this is also true for a Hilbert space which is non-commutative in co-ordinates. The group structure…
A cosmological model with a cyclic interpretation is introduced, which is subject to quantum back-reaction and yet can be treated rather completely by physical coherent state as well as effective constraint techniques. By this comparison,…
The relativistic wave equations of a charged particle propagating in a classical monochromatic electromagnetic plane wave, in a medium of index of refraction n_m < 1, have been studied. In the Dirac case the found exact solutions…
Coherent spaces spanned by a finite number of coherent states, are introduced. Their coherence properties are studied, using the Dirac contour representation. It is shown that the corresponding projectors resolve the identity, and that they…
An ensemble of identical, intrinsically non-interacting molecules exposed to quantum light is discussed. Their interaction with the quantum light induces interactions between the molecules. The resulting hybrid light-matter states exhibit…
A peculiar representation of the Lorentz group is suggested as a starting point for a consistent approach to relativistic quantum theory.
The symmetric collective states of an atomic spin ensemble (i.e., many-body states that are invariant under particle exchange) are not preserved by decoherence that acts identically but individually on members of the ensemble. We develop a…
In this work we review, complete, and synthesize results linking generalized coherent stages (nondegradable Gaussian wavefunctions) to the notions of Fermi ellipsoids, quantum blobs, and microlocal pairs introduced in previous work. These…
We discuss recent progress in finding all coherent states supported by nonlinear wave equations, their stability and the long time behavior of nearby solutions.
