A general formalism of the spin quantum entanglement in a curved space-time represented. As examples Kerr and non commutative Reissner- Nordstr\"om models are considered. The behaviors of the concurrence and entanglement entropy as a…
We show how to construct path integrals for quantum mechanical systems where the space of configurations is a general non-compact symmetric space. Associated with this path integral is a perturbation theory which respects the global…
We develop a new computational tool and framework for characterizing the scattering of photons by energy-nonconserving Hamiltonians into unidirectional (chiral) waveguides, for example, with coherent pulsed excitation. The temporal…
The aim of the article is to show how a coordinate transformation can be applied to the path-integral formalism. For this purpose the unitary definition of the quantum measure, which guarantees the conservation of total probability, is…
A definition of quantum singularity for the case of static spacetimes has recently been extended to conformally static spacetimes. Here the theory behind quantum singularities in conformally static spacetimes is reviewed, and then applied…

We investigate the appearance of closed timelike curves in quotients of plane waves along spacelike isometries. First we formulate a necessary and sufficient condition for a quotient of a general spacetime to preserve stable causality. We…
This paper is about perfectly electrically conducting structures designed to produce negligible scattered power when exposed to a time-harmonic plane electromagnetic wave. The structures feature cavities capable of concealing objects.…
We discuss a path integral formalism to introduce noncommutative generalizations of spacetime manifold in even dimensions, which have been suggested to be reasonable effective pictures at very small length scales, of the order of Planck…
We introduce a notion of isolated units, elementary particles or more general physical phenomena that do not significantly affect their surrounding environment, and we build a primitive ontology to describe their evolution and interaction.…
Inspired by the usefulness of local scaling of time in the path integral formalism, we introduce a new kind of hamiltonian path integral in this paper. A special case of this new type of path integral has been earlier found useful in…
We pursue the view that quantum theory may be an emergent structure related to large space-time scales. In particular, we consider classical Hamiltonian systems in which the intrinsic proper time evolution parameter is related through a…
Varying the curvature, quantum phase transitions are investigated in holographic confining QFTs defined on a fixed constant positive curvature background. We find a competition between two branches of solutions and a phase transition as one…
A proposal is made for a mathematically unambiguous treatment of evolution in the presence of closed timelike curves. In constrast to other proposals for handling the naively nonunitary evolution that is often present in such situations,…
Closed Timelike Curves are relativistically valid objects allowing time travel to the past. Treating them as computational objects opens the door to a wide range of results which cannot be achieved using non relativistic quantum mechanics.…
Many results have been recently obtained regarding the power of hypothetical closed time-like curves (CTCs) in quantum computation. Here we show that the one-way model of measurement-based quantum computation encompasses in a natural way…
General aspects of the quantization of field theories non-local in time are discussed. The path integral on the basis of Schwinger's action principle and the Bjorken-Johnson-Low prescription, which helps to recover the canonical structure…
We introduce the relativistic version of the well-known Henon's isochrone spherical models: static spherically symmetrical spacetimes in which all bounded trajectories are isochrone in Henon's sense, i.e., their radial periods do not depend…
We consider the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation with a short-range external potential, in a semi-classical scaling. We show that for fixed Planck constant, a com-plete scattering theory is available, showing that both the potential and…
The initial value problem is well-defined on a class of spacetimes broader than the globally hyperbolic geometries for which existence and uniqueness theorems are traditionally proved. Simple examples are the time-nonorientable spacetimes…
