We recycle Cruz et al.'s (Phys. Lett. A 369 (2007) 400) work on the classical and quantum position-dependent mass (PDM) oscillators. To elaborate on the ordering ambiguity, we properly amend some of the results reported in their work and…

Spectral analysis of the {\em adjoint} propagator in a suitable Hilbert space (and Lie algebra) of quantum observables in Heisenberg picture is discussed as an alternative approach to characterize infinite temperature dynamics of non-linear…

The canonical commutation relation, $[Q,P] = i\hbar$, stands at the foundation of quantum theory and the original Hilbert space. The interpretation of $P$ & $Q$ as observables has always relied on the analogies that exist between the…

We investigate the quantum dynamics of the isotropic Universe in the presence of a free massless scalar field, playing the role of a physical clock. The Hilbert space is constructed via a direct analogy between the Wheeler-DeWitt equation…

This paper proposes to broaden the canonical formulation of quantum mechanics. Ordinarily, one imposes the condition $H^\dagger=H$ on the Hamiltonian, where $\dagger$ represents the mathematical operation of complex conjugation and matrix…

A formulation of quantum mechanics is introduced based on a $2D$-dimensional phase-space wave function $\text{\reflectbox{\text{p}}}\mkern-3mu\text{p}\left(q,p\right)$ which might be computed from the position-space wave function…

It has long been known that there exists a coordinate transformation which exactly maps the quantum free particle to the quantum harmonic oscillator. Here we extend this result by reformulating it as a unitary operation followed by a time…

We show that the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the quantum harmonic oscillator can be derived as an approximation to the Newtonian mechanics of a classical harmonic oscillator subject to a random force for time intervals $O( m / \hbar)$,…

Many-body quantum dynamics defined on a spatial lattice and in discrete time -- either as stroboscopic Floquet systems or quantum circuits -- has been an active area of research for several years. Being discrete in space and time, a natural…
