We show that the geometry of the set of quantum states plays a crucial role in the behavior of entanglement in different physical systems. More specifically it is shown that singular points at the border of the set of unentangled states…
Scale invariant theories are often used to address the hierarchy problem, however the regularization of their quantum corrections introduces a dimensionful coupling (dimensional regularization) or scale (Pauli-Villars, etc) which break this…
The three-dimensional potential equation, motivated by representations of quantum mechanics, is investigated in four different scenarios: (i) In the usual Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}_{3}$ where the potential is singular but invariant under…
We introduce a one-dimensional PT-symmetric system, which includes the cubic self-focusing, a double-well potential in the form of an infinitely deep potential box split in the middle by a delta-functional barrier of an effective height…
Scale invariance in quantum mechanics can be broken in several ways. A well-known example is the breakdown of continuous scale invariance to discrete scale invariance, whose typical realization is the Efimov effect of three-body problems.…
Supersymmetric ground state wave functions of a model of supersymmetric quantum mechanics on $S^1$ (supersymmetric simple pendulum) are studied. Supersymmetry can be broken due to the existence of an undetermined parameter, which is…
We explore the possibility that scale symmetry is a quantum symmetry that is broken only spontaneously and apply this idea to the Standard Model (SM). We compute the quantum corrections to the potential of the higgs field ($\phi$) in the…
We consider a free quantum particle in one dimension whose mass profile exhibits jump discontinuities. The corresponding Hamiltonian is a self-adjoint realisation of the kinetic-energy operator, with the specific realisation determined by…
We show that a quantum system with nonlocal interaction can have bound states of unusual type -- Isolated States (IS). IS is a bound state that is not in correspondence with the $S$-matrix pole. IS can have a positive as well as a negative…
We show that a quantum system with nonlocal interaction can have bound states of unusual type (isolated states (IS)). IS is a bound state that do not generate a $S$-matrix pole. IS can have positive as well as negative energy and can be…
As the fundamental quantum mechanical theory predicts, it is believed that electronic states can be bound only to potential wells and not to potential barriers in any dimension and their energies should be below the background potential.…
We point out that bound states, degenerate in energy but differing in parity, may form in one dimensional quantum systems even if the potential is non-singular in any finite domain. Such potentials are necessarily unbounded from below at…
We consider the arbitrarily coupled field and self-force of a static massless scalar charge in cylindrical spacetimes with one or two asymptotic regions, with the only matter content concentrated in a thin-shell characterized by the trace…
The paper combines two topics belonging to the general theme of the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in systems including two basic competing ingredients: the self-focusing cubic nonlinearity and a double-well-potential (DWP) structure.…
We report on a study of a bilayer two-dimensional electron gas at Landau level filling factor $\nu=2$. The system exhibits both magnetic and spontaneous interlayer phase coherence broken symmetries. We propose a 3-parameter Slater…
We show that the strength of non-commutativity could play a role in determining the boundary condition of a physical problem. As a toy model we consider the inverse square problem in non-commutative space. The scale invariance of the system…
We study a one-dimensional singular potential plus three types of regular interactions: constant electric field, harmonic oscillator and infinite square well. We use the Lippman-Schwinger Green function technique in order to search for the…
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…
We address three issues. i. The point particle assumption, inherent to non-quantum physics, is singular and entails divergent fields and integrals. ii. In quantum physics EM plays an asymmetric roll. It acts on quantum wave fields (wave…
We introduce the boundary effect on the ground state as an attribute of general local spin systems that restricts the correlations in the ground state. To this end, we introduce what we call a boundary effect function, which characterises…
