Joint spectra of tuples of operators are subsets in complex projective space. The corresponding tuple of operators can be viewed as an infinite dimensional analog of a determinantal representation of the joint spectrum. We investigate the…
In this paper, we investigate the spectrum of the self adjoint differential operator with operator coefficitent in a separable Hilbert space. We also derive asymptotic formulas for the sum of eigenvalues of this operator.
We discuss the distinction between the notion of partial observable and the notion of complete observable. Mixing up the two is frequently a source of confusion. The distinction bears on several issues related to observability, such as (i)…
We develop the concept of operators in Hilbert spaces which are similar to their adjoints via antiunitary operators, the latter being not necessarily involutive. We discuss extension theory, refined polar and singular-value decompositions,…
We study the behaviour of functions of pairs of commuting self-adjoint operators under perturbations by relatively bounded operators. We obtain analogs of our earlier results for functions of a single self-adjoint operator under relatively…
The spectral problem for self-adjoint extensions is studied using the machinery of boundary triplets. For a class of symmetric operators having Weyl functions of a special type we calculate explicitly the spectral projections in the form of…
Thought experiments about the physical nature of set theoretical counterexamples to the axiom of choice motivate the investigation of peculiar constructions, e.g. an infinite dimensional Hilbert space with a modular quantum logic. Applying…
Two quantum events, represented by positive operators (effects), are coexistent if they can occur as possible outcomes in a single measurement scheme. Equivalently, the corresponding effects are coexistent if and only if they are contained…
Optical spectroscopy and quantum control of semiconductor quantum dots has become a vivid field of research. The recent progress in both theory and experiment is reviewed, with emphasis on theoretical and computational concepts.
Spectra of the second derivative operators corresponding to the special PT-symmetric point interactions are studied. The results are partly the completion of those obtained in [1]. The particular PT-symmetric point interactions causing…
We review the basic properties of paired operators and their adjoints, the transposed paired operators, with particular reference to commutation relations, and we study the properties of their kernels, bringing out their similarities and…
For theoretical approach of quantum measurements it is proposed a set of reconsidered conjectures. The proposed approach implies linear functional transformations for probability density and current but preserves the expressions for…
In this paper, we study self-adjointness and spectrum of operators of the form $$H=\displaystyle -\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+Fx, F>0 \quad\text{on} \quad \mathcal{H}=L^{2}(-L,L).$$ $H$ is called Stark operator and describes a quantum particle in a…
We give a spectral description of the semi-classical Schrodinger operator with a piecewise linear, complex valued potential. Moreover, using these results, we show how an arbitrarily small bounded perturbation of a non-self-adjoint operator…
This monograph contains revised and enlarged materials from previous lecture notes of undergraduate and graduate courses and seminars delivered by both authors over the last years on a subject that is central both in abstract operator…
This paper is devoted to self-adjoint cyclically compact operators on Hilbert--Kaplansky module over a ring of bounded measurable functions. The spectral theorem for such a class of operators are given. We apply this result to partial…
In this paper we explore a certain class of non-selfadjoint operators acting in a complex separable Hilbert space. We consider a perturbation of a non-selfadjoint operator by an operator that is also non-selfadjoint. Our consideration is…
The notion of incompatibility of measurements in quantum theory is in stark contrast with the corresponding classical perspective, where all physical observables are jointly measurable. It is of interest to examine if the results of two or…
The quantum rotor represents, after the harmonic oscillator, the next obvious quantum system to study the complementary pair of variables: the angular momentum and the unitary shift operator in angular momentum. Proper quantification of…
The measurement problem is seen as an ambiguity of quantum mechanics, or, beyond that, as a contradiction within the theory: Quantum mechanics offers two conflicting descriptions of the Wigner's-friend experiment. As we argue in this note…
