Normally, the half-harmonic oscillator is active when $x>0$ and absent when $x<0$. From a canonical quantization perspective, this leads to odd eigenfunctions being present while even eigenfunctions are absent. In that case, only the usual…

According to Feynman, the universe consists of two parts - the system in which we are interested and the rest of the universe which our measurement process does not reach. Feynman then formulates the density matrix in terms of the…

For a particle moving on a half-line or in an interval the operator $\hat p = - i \partial_x$ is not self-adjoint and thus does not qualify as the physical momentum. Consequently canonical quantization based on $\hat p$ fails. Based upon a…
