Feynman's path integral is generalized to quantum mechanics on p-adic space and time. Such p-adic path integral is analytically evaluated for quadratic Lagrangians. Obtained result has the same form as that one in ordinary quantum…
This article examines the suggestion made in Ref. [EPL, 115 (2016) 60001] that a solution to a particle in an infinite spherical well model, if it is square-integrable, is a physically valid solution, even if at the precise location of the…
For an understanding of a heat engine working in the microscopic scale, it is often necessary to estimate the amount of reversible work extracted by isothermal expansion of the quantum gas used as its working substance. We consider an…
In this paper we investigate a solution of the Dirac equation for a spin-$\frac{1}2$ particle in a scalar potential well with full spherical symmetry. The energy eigenvalues for the quark particle in $s_{1/2}$ states (with $\kappa=-1$) and…
It is known that a semi-classical analysis is not always adequate for atomtronics devices, but that a fully quantum analysis is often necessary to make reliable predictions. While small numbers of atoms at a small number of sites are…

Unifying quantum theory and gravity remains a fundamental challenge in physics. While most existing literature focuses on the ultraviolet (UV) modifications of quantum theory due to gravity, this work shows that generic infrared (IR)…
One examines the infinitely deep quantum cavity, also known as the quantum infinite square well, within the framework of the real Hilbert space. The solutions are considered in terms of complex wave functions, and also in terms of…
Q ball solutions are considered within the theory of a complex scalar field with a gauged U(1) symmetry and a parabolic-type potential. In the thin-walled limit, we show explicitly that there is a maximum size for these objects because of…
Recently, quantized versions of random walks have been explored as effective elements for quantum algorithms. In the simplest case of one dimension, the theory has remained divided into the discrete-time quantum walk and the continuous-time…
The Fermi acceleration mechanism is a significant source of cosmic rays. When the width of a potential well changes over time, the velocity of particles within the well also changes. For quantum systems, such dynamics should be described by…
We obtain Q-ball solutions in noncommutative scalar field theory with a global U(1) invariance. The Q-ball solutions are shown to be classically and quantum mechanically stable. We also find that "excited Q-ball" states exist for some class…
We explore the tunneling behavior of a quantum particle on a finite graph, in the presence of an asymptotically large potential. Surprisingly the behavior is governed by the local symmetry of the graph around the wells.
A discrete-time Quantum Walk (QW) is essentially an operator driving the evolution of a single particle on the lattice, through local unitaries. Some QWs admit a continuum limit, leading to well-known physics partial differential equations,…
