Harnessing the full power of nascent quantum processors requires the efficient management of a limited number of quantum bits with finite lifetime. Hybrid algorithms leveraging classical resources have demonstrated promising initial results…
Homonuclear molecules have emerged as a crucial component in the pursuit of frequency standards, offering a promising avenue for the discovery of new physics phenomena that transcend the standard model. They also provide a unique approach…
The molecular Schr\"odinger equation is rewritten in terms of non-unitary equations of motion for the nuclei (or electrons) that depend parametrically on the configuration of an ensemble of generally defined electronic (or nuclear)…
We review harmonic oscillator theory for closed, stable quantum systems. The H2 potential energy curve (PEC) of Mexican hat-type, calculated with a confined Kratzer oscillator, is better than the Rydberg-Klein-Rees (RKR) H2 PEC. Compared…
We go through Bohr's talk about complementary features of quantum theory at the Volta Conference in September 1927, by collating a manuscript that Bohr wrote in Como with the unpublished stenographic report of his talk. We conclude - also…
The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which first took shape in Bohr's landmark 1928 paper on complementarity, remains an enigma. Although many physicists are skeptical about the necessity of Bohr's philosophical conclusions,…
Perturbation theory with respect to the kinetic energy of the heavy component of a two-component quantum system is introduced. An effective Hamiltonian that is accurate to second order in the inverse heavy mass is derived. It contains a new…
A simple one dimensional model is introduced describing a two particle "atom" approaching a point at which the interaction between the particles is lost. The wave function is obtained analytically and analyzed to display the entangled…
We obtain here a new relation for the reduced electric quadrupole transition probability B(E2) of a given nucleus in terms of its derivatives with respect to neutron and proton numbers based on a similar local energy relation in the…
We present a simple interpolation formula using dimensional limits $D=1$ and $D=\infty$ to obtain the $D=3$ ground-state energies of atoms and molecules. For atoms, these limits are linked by first-order perturbation terms of…
The Higgs boson plays a central role in the Standard Model, as well as in theories which go beyond it. This article is therefore divided into two parts. The first takes s historical approach and shows how the mass problem entered weak…
In this work, it is demonstrated that there is an additional origin of the electric potential energy of an electron orbiting a nuclei that can be, alternatively to that associated to the elementary `static' charge of the electron as…
We continue the development of the homological theory of quantum general linear groups previously considered by the first author. The development is used to transfer information to the representation theory of quantised Schur algebras. The…
Single electron may have wavefunction of a macroscopic lengthscale but cannot be detected in two places. At the Solvay Conference of 1927, Einstein argued that in a combination with Bohr's postulate about wavefunction as an exhaustive…
Since its inception Bohmian mechanics has been generally regarded as a hidden-variable theory aimed at providing an objective description of quantum phenomena. To date, this rather narrow conception of Bohm's proposal has caused it more…
We compute the radiative ro-vibrational emission spectrum of H2 involving quasibound states via a simple numerical method of resolution of the Schr\"odinger equation by introducing a modifed effective molecular potential. The comparison of…

In this paper we present for the first time a complete description of the Bohm model of the Dirac particle. This result demonstrates again that the common perception that it is not possible to construct a fully relativistic version of the…
The standard model taken with a momentum space cut-off may be viewed as an effective low energy theory. The structure of it and its known parameters can give us hints for relations between these parameters. In the present investigation the…
Black hole thermodynamics suggests that, in order to describe the physics of distant observers, one may model a black hole as a standard quantum system with density of states set by the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy $S_\mathrm{BH}$. This idea…
