The Feynman path integral is defined over the space $\mathbb{R}^T$ of all possible paths; it has been a powerful tool to develop Quantum Mechanics. The absolute value of Feynman's integrand is not integrable, then Lebesgue integration…
We describe the "Feynman diagram" approach to nonrelativistic quantum mechanics on R^n, with magnetic and potential terms. In particular, for each classical path \gamma connecting points q_0 and q_1 in time t, we define a formal power…
Starting from Feynman's Lagrangian description of quantum mechanics, we propose a method to construct explicitly the propagator for the Wigner distribution function of a single system. For general quadratic Lagrangians, only the classical…
Using the topologist sine curve we present a new functorial construction of cone-like spaces, starting in the category of all path-connected topological spaces with a base point and continuous maps, and ending in the subcategory of all…
We construct a periodically time-dependent Hamiltonian with a phase transition in the quantum Hall universality class. One spatial dimension can be eliminated by introducing a second incommensurate driving frequency, so that we can study…
In the first part of our paper we analyze bisolutions and inverses of (non-autonomous) evolution equations. We are mostly interested in pseudo-unitary evolutions on Krein spaces, which naturally arise in linear Quantum Field Theory. We…
We report the experimental realization of heralded distribution of single-photon path entanglement at telecommunication wavelengths in a repeater-like architecture. The entanglement is established upon detection of a single photon,…
In this paper, we find the quantum propagator for a general time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian. The method is based on the properties of the propagator and the fact that the quantum propagator fulfills two independent partial differential…
We outline a new approach to calculating the quantum mechanical propagator in the presence of geometrically non-trivial Dirichlet boundary conditions based upon a generalisation of an integral transform of the propagator studied in previous…
The physically allowed quantum evolutions on a single qubit can be described in terms of their geometry. From a simple parameterisation of unital single-qubit channels, the canonical form of all such channels can be given. The related…
We propose a natural, parameter-free, discrete-variable formulation of Feynman path integrals. We show that for discrete-variable quantum systems, Feynman path integrals take the form of walks on the graph whose weighted adjacency matrix is…
The Feynman checkerboard problem is an interesting path integral approach to the Dirac equation in `1+1' dimensions. I compare two approaches reported in the literature and show how they may be reconciled. Some physical insights may be…
We present a recursive procedure, which is based on the small time expansion of the propagator, in order to generate a semi-classical expansion of the \textit{quantum action} for a quantum mechanical potential in arbitrary dimensions. In…
Here I design an experimental way of a quantum communication by quantum CNOT gates and single qubit gates without the help of classical communication.
The covariant propagator of the notivarg is found. It has the Feynmann - like form.
We present a 2-dimensional Peano continuum $\mathbb{T}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ with the following properties: (1) There is a universal covering projection $q:\overline{\mathbb{T}}\rightarrow \mathbb{T}$ with uncountable fundamental group…
Multi-channel phase space with a single Feynman diagram enhancement is a powerful tool for high-energy physics event generation if a diagram with a singular propagator dominates the total scattering amplitude at the corresponding singular…
We propose a very simple experimental setup to measure, via photon counting, the overlap of the Wigner functions characterizing two single mode light beams. We show that this scheme can be applied to determine directly the phase space…
We consider a simple action for a fractional spin particle and a path integral representation for the propagator is obtained in a gauge such that the constraint embodied in the Lagrangian is not an obstacle. We obtain a propagator for the…
The non-planar Feynman diagram with seven massless, scalar propagators and four on-shell legs (the crossed double box) is calculated analytically in dimensional regularization. The non-planar diagram with six propagators is also discussed.
