Canonical transformation plays a fundamental role in simplifying and solving classical Hamiltonian systems. We construct flexible and powerful canonical transformations as generative models using symplectic neural networks. The model…
Canonical transformations are ubiquitous in Hamiltonian mechanics, since they not only describe the fundamental invariance of the theory under phase-space reparameterisations, but also generate the dynamics of the system. In the first part…

A four-wave mixing Hamiltonian system on the classical as well as on the quantum level is investigated. In the classical case, if one assumes the frequency resonance condition of the form $\omega_0 -\omega_1 +\omega_2 -\omega_3=0$, this…
We study continuous variable systems, in which quantum and classical degrees of freedom are combined and treated on the same footing. Thus all systems, including the inputs or outputs to a channel, may be quantum-classical hybrids. This…
Three elementary canonical transformations are shown both to have quantum implementations as finite transformations and to generate, classically and infinitesimally, the full canonical algebra. A general canonical transformation can, in…
A system of linearly coupled quantum harmonic oscillators can be diagonalized when the system is dynamically stable using a Bogoliubov canonical transformation. However, this is just a particular case of more general canonical…
