The density-matrix and Heisenberg formulations of quantum mechanics follow--for unitary evolution--directy from the Schr"odinger equation. Nevertheless, the symmetries of the corresponding evolution operator, the Liouvillian L=i[.,H], need…
Quantum mechanics can emerge from classical statistics. A typical quantum system describes an isolated subsystem of a classical statistical ensemble with infinitely many classical states. The state of this subsystem can be characterized by…
Nelson's stochastic mechanics links quantum mechanics to an underlying Brownian motion with the identification $\hbar = m\sigma$. Ghose's interpolating equation introduces a continuous parameter $\lambda$ that suppresses the quantum…
It is argued that the so-called holographic principle will obstruct attempts to produce physically realistic models for the unification of general relativity with quantum mechanics, unless determinism in the latter is restored. The notion…
We study the quantization of certain classical field theories using reflection positivity. We give elementary conditions that ensure the resulting vacuum state is cyclic for products of quantum field operators, localized in a bounded…

The paper is devoted to the Hamiltonian treatment of classical and quantum properties of Liouville field theory on a timelike strip in 2d Minkowski space. We give a complete description of classical solutions regular in the interior of the…
The review paper presents generalization of d'Alembert's variational principle: the dynamics of a quantum system for an external observer is defined by the exact equilibrium of all acting in the system forces, including the random quantum…
Canonical coordinates for the Schr\"odinger equation are introduced, making more transparent its Hamiltonian structure. It is shown that the Schr\"odinger equation, considered as a classical field theory, shares with Liouville completely…
The formalism of classical and quantum mechanics on phase space leads to symplectic and Heisenberg group representations, respectively. The Wigner functions give a representation of the quantum system using classical variables. The…
The classical limit $\hbar$->0 of quantum mechanics is known to be delicate, in particular there seems to be no simple derivation of the classical Hamilton equation, starting from the Schr\"odinger equation. In this paper I elaborate on an…
The paper develop the alternative formulation of quantum mechanics known as the phase space quantum mechanics or deformation quantization. It is shown that the quantization naturally arises as an appropriate deformation of the classical…
Classical field theory is considered as a theory of unparametrized surfaces embedded in a configuration space, which accommodates, in a symmetric way, spacetime positions and field values. Dynamics is defined via the (Hamiltonian)…
Quantum computers can be used to simulate nonlinear non-Hamiltonian classical dynamics on phase space by using the generalized Koopman-von Neumann formulation of classical mechanics. The Koopman-von Neumann formulation implies that the…
The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics assumes the existence of the classical deterministic Newtonian world. We argue that in fact the Newton determinism in classical world does not hold and in classical mechanics there is…
A model of a relativistic particle moving in the Liouville field is investigated. Symmetry group of the system is $SL(2,R)/Z_2$. The corresponding dynamical integrals describe full set of classical trajectories. Dynamical integrals are used…
Quantum fields are considered as generators of infinite-dimensional Clifford algebra $Cl(\infty)$, which can be either orthogonal (in case of fermions) or symplectic (in case of bosons). A generic quantum state can be expressed as a…
A phenomenon of classical quantization is discussed. This is revealed in the class of pseudoclassical gauge systems with nonlinear nilpotent constraints containing some free parameters. Variation of parameters does not change local (gauge)…
We discuss the quantization of an unstable field through the construction of a "one-particle Hilbert space." The system considered here is a neutral scalar field evolving over a globally hyperbolic static spacetime and subject to a…
We consider a quantization of relativistic wave equations which allows to treat quantum fields together with interacting particles at a finite time. We discuss also a dissipative interaction with the environment. We introduce a stochastic…
