The spectrum and the eigenstates of a finite 2D tight-binding electronic system, with Dirichlet boundary conditions, in magnetic field and external linear potential are studied. The eigenstates show an equipotential character and may cross…
Starting from a continuum theory of defects, that is the analogous to three-dimensional Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble gravity, we consider a charged particle with spin 1/2 propagating in a uniform magnetic field coincident with a wedge…
We consider the Hamiltonian for a charged particle in a harmonic potential in the presence of a magnetic field. The most symmetric case depends on one parameter, the variation of which leads from a spectrum bounded from below to an…
The geometric effects of two-dimensional curved systems have been an interesting topic for a long time. A M\"{o}bius surface is specifically considered. For a relativistic particle confined to the nontrivial surface, we give the effective…
Free planar electrons in a uniform magnetic field are shown to possess the symmetry of area-preserving diffeomorphisms ($W$-infinity algebra). Intuitively, this is a consequence of gauge invariance, which forces dynamics to depend only on…

Transport in a two-dimensional electron gas subject to an external magnetic field is analyzed in the presence of a \textit{longitudinal barrier.} We show that \textit{quantum interference of the edge states} bound by the longitudinal…

We propose a scheme to investigate whether non-uniform motion degrades entanglement of a relativistic quantum field that is localised both in space and in time. For a Dirichlet scalar field in a cavity in Minkowski space, in small but…
In this note we consider the Iwatsuka model with a postive increasing magnetic field having finite limits. The associated magnetic Laplacian is fibred through partial Fourier transform, and, for large frequencies, the band functions tend to…
We study the spectral properties of infinite rectangular quantum graphs in the presence of a magnetic field. We study how these properties are affected when three-dimensionality is considered, in particular, the chaological properties. We…
We obtain the geometric phase for states of a particle in a spherical infinite potential well with a moving wall in two different cases; First, when the radius of the well increases (or decreases) monotonically. Second, when the radius…
We consider an ideal parabolic quantum wire in a perpendicular magnetic field. A simple Gaussian shaped scattering potential well or hill is flashed softly on and off with its maximum at $t=0$, mimicking a temporary broadening or narrowing…
We use supersymmetry transformations to obtain new one parameter family of inhomogeneous magnetic fields $\mathbf{B} = \widetilde{\mathcal{B}}(x,\lambda) \hat{e}_z$ for which the massless Dirac electron possesses exact solution. The…
Most approaches towards a quantum theory of gravitation indicate the existence of a minimal length scale of the order of the Planck length. Quantum mechanical models incorporating such an intrinsic length scale call for a deformation of…
We consider a quantum particle in a waveguide which consists of an infinite straight Dirichlet strip divided by a thin semitransparent barrier on a line parallel to the walls which is modeled by a $\delta$ potential. We show that if the…
We show that quantum particles constrained to move along curves undergoing cyclic deformations acquire, in general, geometric phases. We treat explicitly an example, involving particular deformations of a circle, and ponder on potential…
Quantized space described by time reversal invariant and rotationally invariant noncommutative algebra of canonical type is studied. A particle in uniform field is considered. We find exactly the energy of a particle in uniform field in the…
