The complex unit appearing in the equations of quantum mechanics is generalised to a quaternionic structure on spacetime, leading to the consideration of complex quantum mechanical particles whose dynamical behaviour is governed by…
The complex-valued quantum mechanics considers quantum motion on the complex plane instead of on the real axis, and studies the variations of a particle complex position, momentum and energy along a complex trajectory. On the basis of…
The dynamical aspects of a spin-1/2 particle in Hermitian coquaternionic quantum theory is investigated. It is shown that the time evolution exhibits three different characteristics, depending on the values of the parameters of the…
The Hamiltonian formulation with action-angle variables is very useful when considering the motion of particles undergoing a self-force reaction due to gravitational wave emission. Using the proper time as a parameter along the trajectory…
It is possible to completely explain all aspects of quantum mechanics by expressing the relations between physical properties in terms of complex conditional probabilities (Phys. Rev. A 89, 042115(2014)). These fully deterministic…
We present a general framework for finding the time-optimal evolution and the optimal Hamiltonian for a quantum system with a given set of initial and final states. Our formulation is based on the variational principle and is analogous to…
We study the Hamiltonian formulation for a parametrized electromagnetic field with the purpose of clarifying the interplay between parametrization and gauge symmetries. We use a geometric approach which is tailor-made for theories where…
Hamiltonian variational principles provided, since 60s, the means of developing very successful wave theories for nonlinear free-surface flows, under the assumption of irrotationality. This success, in conjunction with the recognition that…
For classical lattice systems, the Dobrushin-Lanford-Ruelle theory of boundary conditions states that the restriction of a global equilibrium state to a subsystem can be obtained as an integral over equilibrium states of the subsystem…
Recent work has demonstrated the existence of universal Hamiltonians - simple spin lattice models that can simulate any other quantum many body system to any desired level of accuracy. Until now proofs of universality have relied on…
In this paper, we investigate a system of quantum electrodynamics with cutoffs. The total Hamiltonian is defined on a tensor product of a fermion Fock space and a boson Fock. It is shown that, under spatially localized conditions and…
We consider a system realized with one spinless quantum particle and an array of $N$ spins 1/2 in dimension one and three. We characterize all the Hamiltonians obtained as point perturbations of an assigned free dynamics in terms of some…
We derive the continuous-time limit of discrete quantum walks with topological phases. We show the existence of a continuous-time limit that preserves their topological phases. We consider both simple-step and split-step walks, and derive…
We discuss a version of Hamiltonian (2+1)-dimensional dynamics, in which one allows nonvanishing Poisson brackets also between the coordinates, and between the momenta. The resulting equations of motion are not any more derivable from a…
We consider the semiclassical equations of motion of a particle when both an external electromagnetic field and the Berry gauge field in the momentum space are present. It is shown that these equations are Hamiltonian and relations between…
We formulate quantum mechanics in spacetimes with real-order fractional geometry and more general factorizable measures. In spacetimes where coordinates and momenta span the whole real line, Heisenberg's principle is proven and the…
Hamilton's principle does not formally apply to systems whose boundary conditions lie outside configuration space, but extensions are possible using certain "natural" boundary conditions that allow action extremization. With the single…
We study the most general form of a three dimensional classical integrable system with axial symmetry and invariant under the axis reflection. We assume that the three constants of motion are the Hamiltonian, $H$, with the standard form of…
Both the physical picture of the dynamics of atoms and molecules in intense infrared fields and its theoretical description use the concept of electron trajectories. Here we address a key question which arises in this context: Are…
We consider a many-fermion model which exhibits a transition from a superconducting to a rotational phase with variation of a parameter in its Hamiltonian. The model has analytical solutions in its two limits due to the presence of…
