We study decoherence of propagating spin-1/2 excitations in generic (non-integrable and/or disordered) spin chains. We find the relevant decoherence times to be shorter in both the near-critical and diffusive regimes (if any), which fact…
Quantum theory is formulated as a probabilistic theory on a flat Minkowski space-time, while general theory of relativity is formulated on a curved manifold as a geometric theory. Bohmian Quantum Gravity approach indicates that one need to…

Semiclassical chiral fermion models with Berry term are studied in a symplectic framework. In the free case, the system can be obtained from Souriau's model for a relativistic massless spinning particle by "enslaving" the spin. The Berry…

Phenomenological models aiming to join gravity and quantum mechanics often predict effects that are potentially measurable in refined low-energy experiments. For instance, modified commutation relations between position and momentum, that…
We study a relativistic spin-1/2 fermion subjected to a Dirac oscillator coupling and a constant magnetic field. An interplay between opposed chirality interactions culminates in the appearance of a relativistic quantum phase transition,…
We consider here the problem of a "central spin", with spin quantum number $S \gg 1$, interacting with a set of microscopic spins. Interactions between the microscopic spins are ignored. This model describes magnetic grains or magnetic…

Semi-classical gravity attempts to define a hybrid theory in which a classical gravitational field is coupled to a unitarily evolving quantum state. Although semi-classical gravity is inconsistent with observation, a viable theory of this…
