The density matrix of a non-relativistic quantum system, divided into $N$ sub-systems, is rewritten in terms of the set of all partitioned density matrices for the system. For the case where the different sub-systems are distinguishable, we…
A semiclassical theory of a quantum spin$-S$ model with competing ring and Heisenberg exchange terms on the triangular lattice is obtained. A mechanism for the generation of $Z_2$ vortices is exhibited. The vortices are shown to carry a…
Quantum mechanical phase factors can be related to dynamical effects or to the geometrical properties of a trajectory in a given space - either parameter space or Hilbert space. Here, we experimentally investigate a quantum mechanical phase…
Eugene Wigner showed already in 1939 that the elementary particles are related to the irreducible representations of the Poincare algebra. In the light-cone frame formulation of quantum field theory one can extend these representations to…
The Dicke model describes the collective behavior of a sub-wavelength--size ensemble of two-level atoms (i.e., spin-1/2) interacting identically with a single quantized radiation field of a cavity. Across a critical coupling strength it…
The paper studies spin-orbit interaction (i.e. the effect the spin has on the particle's trajectory in a magnetic field) as a model of quantum computation. The two-level spin quantum system is examined using the stochastic mechanics…
We represent sixteen-component values "sedeons", generating associative noncommutative space-time algebra. We demonstrate a generalization of relativistic quantum mechanics using sedeonic wave functions and sedeonic space-time operators. It…
So-called hidden variables introduced in quantum mechanics by de Broglie and Bohm have changed their initial enigmatic meanings and acquired quite reasonable outlines of real and measurable characteristics. The start viewpoint was the…
Scalar and vector interactions, with the scalar interaction coupled to a composite spin-1/2 system so as to cause a shift of its mass, are shown to obey a low-energy theorem which guarantees that the second order interaction due to z-graphs…
Many-body systems of identical arbitrary-spin particles, with separable spin and spatial degrees of freedom, are considered. Their eigenstates can be classified by Young diagrams, corresponding to non-trivial permutation symmetries (beyond…

The quantum dynamics of a subset of interacting bosons in a subspace of fixed particle number is described in terms of symmetrized many-particle states. A suitable partial trace operation over the von Neumann equation of an $N$-particle…
In two companion papers it was shown how to separate out from a scattering function in quantum electrodynamics a distinguished part that meets the correspondence-principle and pole-factorization requirements. The integrals that define the…
In this short note we study Spin-Boson Models from the Quasi-Classical standpoint. In the Quasi-Classical limit, the field becomes macroscopic while the particles it interacts with, they remain quantum. As a result, the field becomes a…
Under the spin-position decoupling approximation, a vector with a phase in 3D orientation space endowed with geometric algebra, substitutes the vector-matrix spin model built on the Pauli spin operator. The standard quantum operator-state…
We study a three dimensional non-commutative space emerging in the context of three dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity. Our starting point is the assumption that the isometry group is deformed to the Drinfeld double D(SU(2)). We…
We develop a formalism for computing the scattering amplitudes in maximally symmetric de Sitter spacetime with compact spatial dimensions. We describe quantum states by using the representation theory of de Sitter symmetry group and link…
The main notions of semiclassical scalar electrodynamics in different gauges (Hamiltonian, Couloumb, Lorentz) are discussed. These are semiclassical states, Poincare transformations, fields, observables, gauge equivalence. General…
For any quantum state representing a physical system of identical particles, the density operator must satisfy the symmetrisation principle (SP) and for massive particles also conform to super-selection rules (SSR) that prohibit coherences…
