A critical result in superconductivity is that flat bands, though dispersionless, can still host nonzero superfluid weight due to quantum geometry. We show that the derivation of the mean field superfluid weight in previous literature is…

This work explores the non-relativistic quantum propagator $K(x,t)$ as a solution of the Schr\"odinger equation. We suppose that the propagator takes the form ${\rm exp}\left(\frac{\mathrm{i}}{\hbar}S+R\right)$, generalizing the usual WKB…

We extend the treatment of quantum cosmology to a manifold with torsion. We adopt a model of Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble compatible with the cosmological principle. The universe wavefunction will be subject to a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric…
