We establish a quantum analogue of the classical metaplectic Howe duality involving the pair of Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n},\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ in the case when $n=1$. Our results yield commuting representations of the pair of…

We study Daubechies' time-frequency localization operator, which is characterized by a window and weight function. We consider a Gaussian window and a spherically symmetric weight as this choice yields explicit formulas for the eigenvalues,…
Out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs), defined via the squared commutator of a time-evolving and a stationary operator, represent observables that provide useful indicators for chaos and the scrambling of information in complex quantum…
We study the Weyl representation of metaplectic operators associated to a symplectic matrix having no non-trivial fixed point, and justify a formula suggested in earlier work of Mehlig and Wilkinson. We give precise calculations of the…

There are enough reasons for us to consider time as a dynamical variable or operator; but according to Pauli's argument the existence of a self-adjoint time operator is incompatible with the semi-boundedness of Hamiltonian spectrum. In this…

A number of physically intuitive results for the calculation of multi-time correlations in phase-space representations of quantum mechanics are obtained. They relate time-dependent stochastic samples to multi-time observables, and rely on…
We introduce a quantum phase space representation for the orientation state of extended quantum objects, using the Euler angles and their conjugate momenta as phase space coordinates. It exhibits the same properties as the standard Wigner…
The axiomatic formulation of quantum field theory (QFT) of the 1950's in terms of fields defined as operator valued Schwartz distributions is re-examined in the light of subsequent developments. These include, on the physical side, the…
We present in the article the formulation of a version of Lorentz covariant quantum mechanics based on a group theoretical construction from a Heisenberg-Weyl symmetry with position and momentum operators transforming as Minkowski…
Around 1950, Wigner introduced the idea of modelling physical reality with an ensemble of random matrices while studying the energy levels of heavy atomic nuclei. Since then, the field of random-matrix theory has grown tremendously, with…
In this note we study the properties of a sequence of approximate propagators for the Schr\"odinger equation, in the spirit of Feynman's path integrals. Precisely, we consider Hamiltonian operators arising as the Weyl quantization of a…
Since the very early days of quantum theory there have been numerous attempts to interpret quantum mechanics as a statistical theory. This is equivalent to describing quantum states and ensembles together with their dynamics entirely in…
We develop further the approach to upper and lower bounds in quantum dynamics via complex analysis methods which was introduced by us in a sequence of earlier papers. Here we derive upper bounds for non-time averaged outside probabilities…
Time-frequency localization operators are a quantization procedure that maps symbols on $R^{2d}$ to operators and depends on two window functions. We study the range of this quantization and its dependence on the window functions. If the…
