We study classical Hamiltonian systems in which the intrinsic proper time evolution parameter is related through a probability distribution to the physical time, which is assumed to be discrete. In this way, a physical clock with discrete…

We develop a new analytical method for solving real time evolution problems of quantum many-body systems. Our approach is a direct generalization of the well-known canonical perturbation theory for classical systems. Similar to canonical…

Frequent observation of a quantum system leads to quantum Zeno physics, where the system evolution is constrained to states commensurate with the measurement outcome. We show that, more generally, the system can evolve between such states…

We define for quantum many-body systems a quasi-adiabatic continuation of quantum states. The continuation is valid when the Hamiltonian has a gap, or else has a sufficiently small low-energy density of states, and thus is away from a…

We show that it is possible to uniquely reconstruct a generic many-body local Hamiltonian from a single pair of initial and final states related by time evolution with the Hamiltonian. We then propose a practical version of the protocol…

The physics of a closed quantum mechanical system is governed by its Hamiltonian. However, in most practical situations, this Hamiltonian is not precisely known, and ultimately all there is are data obtained from measurements on the system.…
