Linear response theory is concerned with the way in which a physical system reacts to a small change in the applied forces. Here we show that quantum mechanics in the Heisenberg representation can be understood as a linear response theory.…
Quantum phase-space distributions (Wigner functions) for the plane rotator are defined using wave functions expressed in both angle and angular momentum representations, with emphasis on the quantum superposition between the Fourier dual…
We introduce the group field theory formalism for quantum gravity, mainly from the point of view of loop quantum gravity, stressing its promising aspects. We outline the foundations of the formalism, survey recent results and offer a…
The connection between the Hamilton and the standard Lagrange formalism is established for a generic Quantum Field Theory with vanishing vacuum expectation values of the fundamental fields. The Effective Actions in both formalisms are the…
This is a set of lecture notes on the operator algebraic approach to 2-dimensional conformal field theory. Representation theoretic aspects and connections to vertex operator algebras are emphasized. No knowledge on operator algebras or…
In system operations it is commonly assumed that arbitrary changes to a system can be reversed or `rolled back', when errors of judgement and procedure occur. We point out that this view is flawed and provide an alternative approach to…
Random tensors are the natural generalization of random matrices to higher order objects. They provide generating functions for random geometries and, assuming some familiarity with random matrix theory and quantum field theory, we discuss…
Relativistic quantum mechanics can be considered to have begun with a search for wave equations corresponding to each intrinsic spin. However, relativistic quantum physics differs fundamentally from the non-relativistic wave mechanics. It…
It is argued by the author that the canonical form of the quark energy-momentum tensor with a partial derivative instead of the covariant derivative is the correct definition for the quark momentum and angular momentum fraction of the…
We begin by discussing ``What exists?'', i.e. ontology, in Classical Physics which provided a description of physical phenomena at the macroscopic level. The microworld however necessitates a introduction of Quantum ideas for its…
A simple approach for understanding the quantum nature of angular momentum and its reduction to the classical limit is presented based on Schwinger's coupled-boson representation. This approach leads to a straightforward explanation of why…
A new local and gauge invariant quantum vortex operator is constructed in three-dimensional gauge field theories. The correlation functions of this operator are evaluated exactly in pure Maxwell theory and by means of a loop expansion in…
Pairs of particles of definite total and relative angular momentum provide a natural description for a two dimensional electron gas in a strong magnetic field. Two body operators take a simple form when expressed in terms of pair creation…
Is quantum mechanics about 'states'? Or is it basically another kind of probability theory? It is argued that the elementary formalism of quantum mechanics operates as a well-justified alternative to 'classical' instantiations of a…
The perturbative approach to the topological quantum field theories of the Chern-Simons type formulated in R^3 is considered. By means of the canonical quantization of the euclidean Chern-Simons lagrangian in the Landau gauge, a Fock space…
We construct quantum stochastic integrals for the integrator being a martingale in a von Neumann algebra, and the integrand -- a suitable process with values in the same algebra, as densely defined operators affiliated with the algebra. In…
It is the matter of fact that quantum mechanics operates with notions that are not determined in the frame of the mechanics' formalism. Among them we can call the notion of "wave-particle" (that, however, does not appear in both classical…
The supertranslation ambiguity issue of angular momentum is a long-standing problem in general relativity. Recently, there appeared the first definition of angular momentum at null infinity that is supertranslation invariant. However, in…
Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) of photons are already ubiquitously being used for numerous applications. However, there is a fundamental question whether photonic OAM operators satisfy standard quantum mechanical commutation relationship or…
