We discuss the classical and quantum mechanical evolution of systems described by a Hamiltonian that is a function of a solvable one, both classically and quantum mechanically. The case in which the solvable Hamiltonian corresponds to the…
A great effort has been devoted to formulate a classical relativistic theory of spin compatible with quantum relativistic wave equations. The main difficulty in order to connect classical and quantum theories rests in finding a parameter…

The local conservation of a physical quantity whose distribution changes with time is mathematically described by the continuity equation. The corresponding time parameter, however, is defined with respect to an idealized classical clock.…
The Hamilton-Jacobi theory of Classical Mechanics can be extended in a novel manner to systems which are fuzzy in the sense that they can be represented by wave functions. A constructive interference of the phases of the wave functions then…

Time-dependent unitary transformations are used to study the Schreodinger equation for explicitly time-dependent Hamiltonians of the form $H(t)=\vec R(t).\vec J$, where $\vec R$ is an arbitrary real vector-valued function of time and $\vec…
It has earlier been argued that there should exist a formulation of quantum mechanics which does not refer to a background spacetime. In this paper we propose that, for a relativistic particle, such a formulation is provided by a…
Fractional classical mechanics has been introduced and developed as a classical counterpart of the fractional quantum mechanics. Lagrange, Hamilton and Hamilton-Jacobi frameworks have been implemented for the fractional classical mechanics.…
The numerical version of the Hamilton-Jacobi quantization method, recently proposed, is applied to the one dimensional quartic oscillator. A suitable quantization condition is formulated and various energy levels and wave functions are…
In this paper, we analyze classical and quantum physical systems from an optimal control perspective. Specifically, we explore whether their associated dynamics can correspond to an open or closed-loop feedback evolution of a control…
This paper introduces the way of the embedding of spinning particle quantum mechanically. Schr\"odinger equation on its submanifold obtains the gauge field as spin connection, and it reduces to the ones obtained by Ohnuki and Kitakado when…
We exhibit two symmetries of one-dimensional Newtonian mechanics whereby a solution is built from the history of another solution via a generally nonlinear and complex potential-dependent transformation of the time. One symmetry intertwines…
A generalization of driven harmonic oscillator with time-dependent mass and frequency, by adding total time-derivative terms to the Lagrangian, is considered. The generalization which gives a general quadratic Hamiltonian system does not…
We demonstrate how electric fields with arbitrary time profile can be used to control the time-dependent parameters of spin and orbital exchange Hamiltonians. Analytic expressions for the exchange constants are derived from a time-dependent…
