Wave functions of bounded quantum systems with time-independent potentials, being almost periodic functions, cannot have time asymptotics as in classical chaos. However, bounded quantum systems with time-dependent interactions, as used in…

We study the behavior of non-relativistic quantum particles interacting with different potentials in the space-times generated by a cosmic string and a global monopole. We find the energy spectra in the presence of these topological defects…
The key element in time-dependent density functional theory is the one-to-one correspondence between the one-particle density and the external potential. In most approaches this mapping is transformed into a certain type of Sturm-Liouville…
We consider a massless scalar field in 1+1 dimensions satisfying a Robin boundary condition (BC) at a non-relativistic moving boundary. We derive a Bogoliubov transformation between input and output bosonic field operators, which allows us…
We study particle creation phenomenon by the Coulomb potential of an external electric field in the presence of a gravitational field of a static cosmic string. For that, the generalized Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations are solved, and by…
The fundamental theories of physics are local theories, depending on local interactions of local variables. It is not clear if and how strictly local theories can produce non-local variables that have causal effectiveness. Yet, non-local…
We study the behavior of a massless, quantized, scalar field on a two-dimensional cylinder spacetime as it responds to the time-dependent evolution of a Mamev-Trunov potential of the form $V(x,t) = 2 \xi \delta(x) \theta(-t)$. We begin by…
