Canonical quantization relies on Cartesian, canonical, phase-space coordinates to promote to Hermitian operators, which also become the principal ingredients in the quantum Hamiltonian. While generally appropriate, this procedure can also…

A new method is proposed for integrating the equations of motion of an elastic filament. In the standard finite-difference and finite-element formulations the continuum equations of motion are discretized in space and time, but it is then…

We develop a truncated Hamiltonian method to investigate the dynamics of the $(1+1)d~\phi^4$ theory following quantum quenches. The results are compared to two different semi-classical approaches, the self-consistent Gaussian approximation…

Although the Hamiltonian formalism is so far favored for quantum computation of lattice gauge theory, the path integral formalism would never be useless. The advantages of the path integral formalism are the knowledge and experience…

The symplectic formalism is fully employed to study the gauge-invariant CP$^1$ model with the Chern-Simons term. We consistently accommodate the CP$^1$ constraint at the Lagrangian level according to this formalism.
