It is apparent to anyone who thinks about it that, to a large degree, the basic concepts of Newtonian physics are quite intuitive, but quantum mechanics is not. My purpose in this talk is to introduce you to a new, much more intuitive way…

We develop a wave mechanics formalism for qubit geometry using holomorphic functions and Mobius transformations, providing a geometric perspective on quantum computation. This framework extends the standard Hilbert space description,…

In this contribution I discuss a path integral approach for the quantum motion on two-dimensional spaces according to Koenigs, for short ``Koenigs-Spaces''. Their construction is simple: One takes a Hamiltonian from two-dimensional flat…

We revisit the path-integral approach to the wave function of the Universe by utilizing Lefschetz thimble analyses and resurgence theory. The traditional Euclidean path-integral of gravity has the notorious ambiguity of the direction of…

We study the quantum cosmology of a quadratic $f(R)$ theory with a FRW metric, via one of its equivalent Horndeski type actions, where the dynamics of the scalar field is induced. The classical equations of motion and the Weeler-deWitt…

By parametrizing the action integral for the standard Schrodinger equation we present a derivation of the recently proposed method for quantizing a parametrized theory. The reformulation suggests a natural extension from conventional to…

The paper is devoted to integral quantization, a procedure based on operator-valued measure and resolution of the identity. We insist on covariance properties in the important case where group representation theory is involved. We also…

In this paper, we investigate the quantum field theory in Klein space that has two time directions. To study the canonical quantization, we select the ``length of time" $q$ as the evolution direction of the system. In our novel…

Path integral formulation of quantum mechanics defines the wavefunction associated with a particle as a sum of phase-factors, which are periodic functions of classical action. In the present article, this periodicity is shown to impart the…

The generalized Einstein action is treated quantum mechanically by using a quadratic lagrangian form. The canonical quantization of this action is obtained by using the auxiliary variable to define the generalized momentum. Physical…
