We discuss the physics of a restricted Weyl symmetry in a curved space-time where a gauge parameter $\Omega(x)$ of Weyl transformation satisfies a constraint $\Box \Omega = 0$. First, we present a model of QED where we have a restricted…

We describe a path-integral molecular dynamics implementation of our recently developed golden-rule quantum transition-state theory (GR-QTST). The method is applied to compute the reaction rate in various models of electron transfer and…
Continuous time quantum walks provide an important framework for designing new algorithms and modelling quantum transport and state transfer problems. Often, the graph representing the structure of a problem contains certain symmetries that…
In a Weyl orbit, the Fermi arc surface states on opposite surfaces of the topological semimetal are connected through the bulk Weyl or Dirac nodes. Having a real-space component, these orbits accumulate a sample-size-dependent phase.…
This is the first of a series of papers in which a new formulation of quantum theory is developed for totally constrained systems, that is, canonical systems in which the hamiltonian is written as a linear combination of constraints…
We show that the classical mechanics of an algebraic model are implied by its quantizations. An algebraic model is defined, and the corresponding classical and quantum realizations are given in terms of a spectrum generating algebra.…
The paper gives a symplectic-geometric account of semiclassical Gaussian wave packet dynamics. We employ geometric techniques to "strip away" the symplectic structure behind the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation and incorporate it into…
A general prescription for the treatment of constrained quantum motion is outlined. We consider in particular constraints defined by algebraic submanifolds of the quantum state space. The resulting formalism is applied to obtain solutions…
We study gauge and gravity backreaction in a holographic model of quantum quench across a superfluid critical transition. The model involves a complex scalar field coupled to a gauge and gravity field in the bulk. In earlier work…
We propose a method for preparing the quantum state for a given velocity field, e.g., in fluid dynamics, via the spherical Clebsch wave function (SCWF). Using the pointwise normalization constraint for the SCWF, we develop a variational…
The outcomes of projective measurements on a quantum many-body system in a chosen basis are inherently probabilistic. The Shannon entropy of this probability distribution (the "diagonal entropy") often reveals universal features, such as…
We develop a discrete optimal transport framework for analyzing simulated annealing algorithms on finite state spaces. Building on the discrete Wasserstein metric introduced by Maas (J. Funct. Anal., 2011), we define a generalized discrete…
Diffusion, a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, is a consequence of particle number conservation and locality, in systems with sufficient damping. In this paper we consider diffusive processes in the bulk of Weyl semimetals, which are exotic…
Previously, using an incompressible von K\'arm\'an-Howarth formalism, the behavior of cross-scale energy transfer in magnetic reconnection and turbulence was found to be essentially identical to each other, independent of an external…
We analyze constrained quantum systems where the dynamics do not preserve the constraints. This is done in particular for the restriction of a quantum particle in Euclidean n-space to a curved submanifold, and we propose a method of…
Quantum states can be described equivalently by density matrices, Wigner functions or quantum tomograms. We analyze the accuracy and performance of three related semiclassical approaches to quantum dynamics, in particular with respect to…
