We gather material from many sources about the quantum potential and its geometric nature. The presentation is primarily expository but some new observations relating Q, V, and psi are indicated.
This paper provides an introduction to the theory of semiconductor laser diodes, with special focus on their noise properties. It may be considered an additional chapter to the textbook [1]. As such, it will also refer to equations in that…
A brief review of recent developments in the theory of the Riemann zeta function inspired by ideas and methods of quantum chaos is given.
These notes are intended to provide a brief primer in plasma physics, introducing common definitions, basic properties, and typical processes found in plasmas. These concepts are inherent in contemporary plasma-based accelerator schemes,…
Causal quantum theory assumes that measurements or collapses are well-defined physical processes, localised in space-time, and never give perfectly reliable outcomes and that the outcome of one measurement only influences the outcomes of…
This is an introduction to some of the most probabilistic aspects of free probability theory.
Using a carefully justified development of Debye-Huckel theory for highly asymmetric electrolytes, one finds that a region of expanded phase instability, or miscibility gap, can appear for charge-stabilised colloidal suspensions at high…
We provide a mini-guide to some of the possible manifestations of weak scale supersymmetry. For each of six scenarios we provide a brief description of the theoretical underpinnings, the adjustable parameters, a qualitative description of…
The control of individual quantum systems is now a reality in a variety of physical settings. Feedback control is an important class of control methods because of its ability to reduce the effects of noise. In this review we give an…
We review the physics of jamming from the theoretical, experimental and numerical perspectives. We summarize the mean-field theory of jamming and the marginally stable solid phase, with particular emphasis on the connection with the Replica…
The aim of these notes is to present a self contained account of discrete weak KAM theory. Put aside the intrinsic elegance of this theory, it is also a toy model for classical weak KAM theory, where many technical difficulties disappear,…
The internal phase dynamics of a quantum system is revealed in details. Theoretical and experimental evidences of existence of a causal relation of the phase of the wave function with the dynamics of the quantum system are presented…
Some aspects and applications of $ \sigma$-models in particle and condensed matter physics are briefly reviewed.
This article gives a conceptual introduction to the topos approach to the formulation of physical theories.
The review deals with the physics of cold atomic gases in the presence of disorder. The emphasis is on the theoretical developments, although several experiments are also briefly discussed. The review is intended to be pedagogical,…
Current evidence for neutrino oscillation is reviewed, some areas for closer investigation are suggested, and a plausible future experimental program is summarized.
The assumptions needed to prove Cox's Theorem are discussed and examined. Various sets of assumptions under which a Cox-style theorem can be proved are provided, although all are rather strong and, arguably, not natural.
It is argued that there is a sensible way to define conditional probabilities in quantum mechanics, assuming only Bayes's theorem and standard quantum theory. These probabilities are equivalent to the ``weak measurement'' predictions due to…
We discuss the (twisted) weak positivity theorem. We also treat some applications.
Semiclassical theories like the Thomas-Fermi and Wigner-Kirkwood methods give a good description of the smooth average part of the total energy of a Fermi gas in some external potential when the chemical potential is varied. However, in…
