A general definition of the curves and geodesics associated with a given connection on a quantized manifold is given. In the particular case of the functional quantization we define geodesics in the same way as in the classical case and we…

A unitary evolution in time may be treated as a curve in the manifold of the special unitary group. The length of such a curve can be related to the energetic cost of the associated computation, meaning a geodesic curve identifies an…

We investigate modifications of the discrete-time lattice action, for a quantum mechanical particle in one spatial dimension, that vanish in the na\"ive continuum limit but which, nevertheless, induce non-trivial effects due to quantum…

It is shown that the rate of corrections to the hydrogen atom and harmonic oscillator due to profound quantum-gravitational effect of space-time dimension running/reduction coincides well with those obtained by means of the minimum-length…

Geometric effects make evolution time vary for different evolution curves that connect the same two quantum states. Thus, it is important to be able to control along which path a quantum state evolve to achieve maximal speed in quantum…

We study the fuzzy spaces (as special examples of noncommutative manifolds) with their quasicoherent states in order to find their pertinent metrics. We show that they are naturally endowed with two natural "quantum metrics" which are…

We introduce configuration space path integrals for quantum fields interacting with classical fields. We show that this can be done consistently by proving that the dynamics are completely positive directly, without resorting to master…

By analogy with the Wiener measure on the Euclidean plane that is invariant under the group of rotations and quasi-invariant under the group of diffeomorphisms, we construct the path integrals measure that is invariant under the Lorentz…

The numerical integration of particle trajectories in curved spacetimes is fundamental for obtaining realistic models of the particle dynamics around massive compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars. Generalized algorithms…
