We study Heisenberg's uncertainty relation relative to a quantum reference frame (QRF). We introduce the QRF as a covariant phase-space observable, show that when described relative to it, position and momentum appear compatible, and derive…

When we quantize a system consisting of a single particle, the proper time $\tau $ and the rest mass $m$ are usually dealt with as parameters. In the present article, however, we introduce a new quantization rule by which these quantities…

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…
We study the interplay between regular and chaotic dynamics at the critical point of a generic first-order quantum phase transition in an interacting boson model of nuclei. A classical analysis reveals a distinct behavior of the coexisting…
We analyze a system consisting of an oscillator coupled to a field. With the field traced out as an environment, the oscillator loses coherence on a very short {\it decoherence timescale}; but, on a much longer {\it relaxation timescale},…
