It is shown that only the maximally-symmetric spacetimes can be expressed in both the Robertson-Walker form and in static form - there are no other static forms of the Robertson-Walker spacetimes. All possible static forms of the metric of…
We consider the transformation of Hamilton operators under various sets of quantum operations acting simultaneously on all adjacent pairs of particles. We find mappings between Hamilton operators analogous to duality transformations as well…
In this paper we consider the occupation number of induced quasi-particles produced during a time-dependent process using three-different methods: Instantaneous diagonalization, Bogolyubov transformation between two different vacua, and the…
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…
We introduce a fully quantum notion of entropy production based on the noncommutative extension of the classical log-ratio between forward and reverse processes. Given a pair of quantum objects associated with the forward and reverse…

It is well known that the expansion of the universe can create particles. However, due to ambiguities when defining particles during the expansion, there are still debates about how to choose vacuum and particle states. To clarify how…

We propose a new point of view regarding the problem of time in quantum mechanics, based on the idea of replacing the usual time operator $\mathbf{T}$ with a suitable real-valued function $T$ on the space of physical states. The proper…
As a follow-up to a recent study in the spin-0 case [J. Bunao and E. A. Galapon, Ann. Phys. 353, 83-106 (2015)], we construct a one-particle Time of Arrival (TOA) operator conjugate to a Hamiltonian describing a free relativistic spin-1/2…
