The one-dimensional system of particles with a $1/x^2$ repulsive potential is known as the Calogero-Moser system. Its classical version can be generalised by substituting the coupling constants with additional degrees of freedom, which span…
This article is devoted to the study of a general class of Hamiltonian systems which extends the Calogero systems with external quadratic potential associated to any root system. The interest for such a class comes from a previous article…
We discuss two different methods of obtaining ``effective $2 \times 2$ Hamiltonians'' of the electromagnetic interaction which include relativistic corrections. One is the standard Foldy--Wouthuysen transformation which we compare with the…

Many experimental techniques aim at determining the Hamiltonian of a given system. The Hamiltonian describes the system's evolution in the absence of dissipation, and is often central to control or interpret an experiment. Here, we…
