The quantum dynamics of a single particle in a discrete two-dimensional tilted lattice is analyzed from the perspective of the classical-quantum correspondence. Utilizing the fact that tilting the lattice results in oscillatory dynamics, we…
Free scalar field theory on a flat spacetime can be cast into a generally covariant form known as parametrised field theory in which the action is a functional of the scalar field as well as the embedding variables which describe arbitrary,…
We propose an unconventional formulation of lattice field theories which is quite general, although originally motivated by the quest of exact lattice supersymmetry. Two long standing problems have a solution in this context: 1) Each degree…
Liouville conformal field theory is considered with conformal boundary. There is a family of conformal boundary conditions parameterized by the boundary cosmological constant, so that observables depend on the dimensional ratios of boundary…
The Liouville equation differs from the von Neumann equation 'only' by a characteristic superoperator. We demonstrate this for Hamiltonian dynamics, in general, and for the Jaynes-Cummings model, in particular. -- Employing superspace…
We work out the perturbative expansion of quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere starting from the semiclassical limit of a background generated by heavy charges. By solving perturbatively the Riemann-Hilbert problem for the Poincare'…
We investigate modifications of the discrete-time lattice action, for a quantum mechanical particle in one spatial dimension, that vanish in the na\"ive continuum limit but which, nevertheless, induce non-trivial effects due to quantum…
We study quantum interference effects due to electron motion on a three-dimensional cubic lattice in a continuously-tunable magnetic field of arbitrary orientation and magnitude. These effects arise from the interference between magnetic…

The notion of quantum symmetry has recently been extended to include reduced-dimensional transformations and algebraic structures beyond groups. Such generalized symmetries lead to exotic phases of matter and excitations that defy Landau's…
We prove that any quantum field theory, or more generally any probability distribution over tempered distributions in $\mathbb{R}^d$, admits a neural network description with a countable infinity of parameters. As an example, we realize the…
The main results for the two-dimensional quantum gravity, conjectured from the matrix model or integrable approach, are presented in the form to be compared with the world-sheet or Liouville approach. In spherical limit the integrable side…
We present a new duality between the F-terms of supersymmetric field theories defined in two- and four-dimensions respectively. The duality relates N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions, deformed by an Omega-background in one…
I propose a self-dual deformation of the classical phase space of lattice Yang--Mills theory, in which both the electric and magnetic fluxes take value in the gauge Lie group. A local construction of the deformed phase space requires the…
In these proceedings, we review recent advances in applying quantum computing to lattice field theory. Quantum computing offers the prospect to simulate lattice field theories in parameter regimes that are largely inaccessible with the…
The quantum theory of a free particle in two dimensions with non-local boundary conditions on a circle is known to lead to surface and bulk states. Such a scheme is here generalized to the quantized Maxwell field, subject to mixed boundary…
We define and study the notion of quantum polarity, which is a kind of geometric Fourier transform between sets of positions and sets of momenta. Extending previous work of ours, we show that the orthogonal projections of the covariance…
The two dimensional substructure of general relativity and gravity, and the two dimensional geometry of quantum effect by black hole are disclosed. Then the canonical quantization of the two dimensional theory of gravity is performed. It is…
We use time-independent canonical transformation methods to discuss the energy eigenfunctions for the simple linear potential, pedagogically setting the stage for some field theory calculations to follow. We then discuss the Schr\"odinger…
This thesis discusses various aspects of duality in quantum field theory and string theory. In the first part we consider duality in topological quantum field theories, concentrating on the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten theories as (dual)…
