In the present work, the results obtained in [1] about the revivals of a relativistic fermion wave function on a torus are considerably enlarged. In fact, all the possible quantum states exhibiting revivals are fully characterized. The…
The eigenvalue density of a quantum-mechanical system exhibits oscillations, determined by the closed orbits of the corresponding classical system; this relationship is simple and strong for waves in billiards or on manifolds, but becomes…
Is wave function collapse a prediction of the Schr\"odinger equation? This unusual problem is explored in an enlarged framework of interpretation, where quantum dynamics is considered exact and its interpretation is extended to include…
We reduce Dirac's spinor formalism for a spin 1/2 particle to a complex wavefunction description in curved spacetimes. We consider a localized fermionic particle in curved spacetimes and perform an expansion in terms of the acceleration and…
We describe regularizing effects in the linearization of a kinetic equation that arises in study of a system of nonlinear waves satisfying the Schr\"odinger equation in terms of weak turbulence and condensate. The problem is first…
The existence of local, classical solutions is proved, for a system of two coupled equations that describe, in the framework of the wave turbulence theory, the fluctuations around an equilibrium, of a system of nonlinear waves satisfying…
The mysterious phenomena of revivals in linear dispersive periodic equations was discovered first experimentally in optics in the 19th century, then rediscovered several times by theoretical and experimental investigations. While the term…
In this paper, we investigate the revivals of the one-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger equation with a piecewise $C^2$ potential function. As has been observed through numerical simulations of the equation with various initial data and…
We consider the one-dimensional linear free space Schr\"odinger equation on a bounded interval subject to homogeneous linear boundary conditions. We prove that, in the case of pseudoperiodic boundary conditions, the solution of the…
Individual quantum objects display inseparable coexisting wave-like properties and particle-like properties; such inseparable coexistence can seem paradoxical and mind-boggling. The apparent paradox is resolved by the unified theory of…
In this paper we study in detail the localized wave functions defined in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 76}, 1613 (1994), in connection with the scarring effect of unstable periodic orbits in highly chaotic Hamiltonian system. These functions appear…
The Schr\"{o}dinger equation admits smooth and finite solutions that spontaneously evolve into a singularity, even for a free particle. This blowup is generally ascribed to the intrinsic dispersive character of the associated time…
We start from the remark that in wave turbulence theory, exemplified by the cubic twodimensional Schr{\"o}dinger equation (NLS) on the real plane, the regularity of the resonant manifold is linked with dispersive properties of the equation…
It is shown that in the case of the one-particle one-dimensional scattering problem for a given time-independent potential, for each state of the whole quantum ensemble of identically prepared particles, there is an unique pair of…
The dynamics of a quantum mechanical particle in a time-independent potential are found to contain many interesting phenomena. These are direct consequences of the (typical) existence of more than one time scale governing the problem. This…
The aim of this paper is to study the semi-classical behaviour of Schr\"odinger's dynamics for an one-dimesional quantum Hamiltonian with a classical hyperbolic trajectory. As in the regular case (elliptic trajectory), we prove, that for an…
Two categories of results regarding quantum measurements are derived in this work and applied to the problem of collapse. The first category is concerned with local and transient features of the entanglement between a macroscopic measuring…
We explore the problem of time in quantum gravity in a point-particle analogue model of scale-invariant gravity. If quantized after reduction to true degrees of freedom, it leads to a time-independent Schr\"odinger equation. As with the…
The scattering theory of Lax and Phillips, originally developed to describe resonances associated with classical wave equations, has been recently extended to apply as well to the case of the Schroedinger equation in the case that the wave…
Quantum revival is described as the time-periodic reconstruction of a wave packet initially localized in space and time. This effect is expected in finite-size systems which exhibits commensurable discrete spectrum such as the infinite…
